The Hills of San Francisco is a hack-and-slash fantasy roguelike about a warrior cat traveling cross-country in an attempt to return home to San Francisco before he succumbs to his terminal illness. As he traverses the abandoned high schools of upstate New York and the college quads of Illinois, he must survive battles with evil mice and creepy doctors while feeling his health slowly worsen – all in order to see, once more, the hills of San Francisco.
I am making this game in memory of my childhood cat, Waffle, who was diagnosed with Stage Four Kidney Disease in May 2024. Waffle was a very shy cat who enjoyed eating food and snoring loudly. He passed away at the end of August 2024, 9 years after his adoption day.
