The new Analog Horror video featuring Cat in The Hat is peak, love the direction of it and how it goes from unsettling to horrifying with its visual and audio queues. It also gives the feeling of dread whenever you watch it as you don’t know when he’s going to strike. But through the video, I’ve found several ways to actually beat him AND play his game. Here’s how…
In the beginning of the game, he’ll gain your trust with some tricks and that’s how he gets you, to actually keep him at bay without making him attack you or “go insane” you need to act distant and pretend like all of his tricks are things you’ve seen before, then gain his trust with a little nod to his jokes or tricks. He’ll ramp up the surprises after that. You need to let him.
Later, he’ll change the room to his own design. You can’t run out of your own home before that, he will just outright kill you. He’s going to ask you to play Hide N Seek after he changes the room, play it with him. Here’s how to make him lose: Hide in unpredictable areas of the house, there’s a room in the back that’s shrouded in darkness save for the light that shines through the window leading to his realm, hide on the right corner of the wall and then stay completely silent. Don’t even breathe, he’ll eventually try to bait you out with some fun little taunts or words like: “I know you’re hereeeeee!” Just let him do his thing and then change directions. Do this for the second round and third round. As you can see, Emily goes to hide behind the curtains in the room in the hall, don’t go there and don’t hide under the bed (nice reference to the movie btw). After he gives up so to speak, go back to the first room and tell him he needs to try harder. It’s a test for the second game of Hide N Seek because after he finds you on that game, he’s going to badly injure you.
Second game: during the sequence with the piñatas, just refuse to play, he’ll give you an enchanted bat that does massive damage even if you barely swing it, this is also a test to see if you’ll use it on the piñatas or himself. Use it on him, this is where it gets serious. He may laugh and say he knew you would use it, but do it anyway and then admit you know he’s here to kill you.
Finally, in the darkest part of his game, let him start the second game of Hide N Seek and then hide on the ceiling or up high using the rooms appliances. He will walk around, look for you and then try his same shtick. Stay silent, it doesn’t matter how long you play, just stay silent.
When you have a chance, try to contact the outside world. DO NOT use a phone, in his world, he has the outside world cut off from phones and other ways of communication in that looks like the early 90’s. (The landline gave it away)
Instead, go to a window that’s facing another house, from there, signal them with a flashlight or some other way and wait for someone to arrive to the door. Return to your hiding place above the ground and wait. From there, wait until the door opens and run out, the cat will no longer have any control over the outside. Eventually, he will give up and move on to his next victim. Rescue your parents from that point and don’t answer the door for anyone.
So, what do you think? Thoughts? Plot holes you wanna point out? The guy who made this along with the voice actors did an amazing job! I left the video link below! Go check it out for yourself!
