Cold Paws

COLD PAWS is based on the first story from our private fantasy novel of the same name "(Cold Paws)". It is an action RPG with real life stories of our cat "Chitti" and many stray animals.
Players take on the roles of an Orange Stray Cat named Chitti and a Bernese Mountain Dog Puppy named Mounti. Players will also experience the story through humans and elves, depending on the story. The story follows an orange stray cat standing beside a puppy against all odds, caught in a vast, chaotic cosmic drama played by the universe. It explores the situations they face and how they overcome many challenges in their world. There will be a wide range of characters in this cosmic journey. The game covers the first story of the novel, allowing players to experience it interactively.

The game takes place on a beautiful small planet filled with breathtaking landscapes and extreme weather conditions. Cold Paws is not a sci-fi game—it is grounded in human emotions and real-life experiences, presented through a fantasy setting. We will add few gameplay features here without revealing story and secrete features.

About Us

We’ve revealed as much as we can about the game above. And Now we can talk about us. Who are we

We are Mountaindog Studios, We are not a large team with a big financial budget. Instead, our resources are our passion, skills, time, and lot of love for animals.

We have spent over 10 years studying art and game engine specifically for this story, and we have also worked on multiple AAA titles. However, this is our first independent game. Our goal is to bring our private novel to life through action RPG Games and tell the story visually, rather than just through words.

We have developed an unique art style to present the game in a fresh way. We want players to experience a true emotional rollercoaster, offering something new and different from traditional games.

Why Cold Paws

What drives us to create COLD PAWS is deeply personal. The story is inspired by real-life experiences we have gone through and witnessed:

1.Many people ignore small animals on the streets, and countless animals suffer from hunger. We hope that one day, people will take just five minutes to feed hungry animals living in the cold under cars and on the streets.

2.We have seen many people chase away stray animals by beating them or throwing stones, causing them severe harm. This should not be happening. Creating awareness through visual storytelling can help—even if only a little—and encourage people to think before hurting any stray animal.

3.Many people only care about expensive animals. We want to show that stray animals can be just as loving and caring.

4.We have experienced situations where helping stray animals or keeping them as pets leads to judgment from others, as some people believe animals are dirty or bring misfortune. There are also some people who don’t like it when others feed stray animals.

And there are many more experiences we cannot share here—some of them are even more heartbreaking, which we may open up about eventually.

We wish COLD PAWS delivers memorable experiences and inspires people to show more kindness toward stray animals even if it’s just taking five minutes to offer them some food.
