The Catch-Release System

The Catch-Release System is an interactive fiction creature collector where you can catch wild creatures called Infranims, conduct (scientifically inaccurate) research, and form bonds with your (human!) companions. Travel the land of Ophir, catch more Infranims, and forge your own path!

This is a passion project for me; I'll be working on it during my free time, so I don't have a set release date or update schedule. I'll be working on integrating more features and interactions as the game progresses.

Play as a newcomer to the bucolic Kaimula Town, where you quickly get wrapped up in your neighbors' messy home lives conducting research with your brand new Catch-Release System (CRS). However, a simple field outing quickly turns into a disaster when the originator of the universe decides on you as its host.

As you try to find a way to get it  out of your head, you'll soon find that your new roommate is the least of your problems, especially as you begin to realize that the true risk lies in what it's hiding from.

(also, conduct research and make friends on the side! surely you'll have time for that too!)

• Catch and interact with up to 23* Infranims
• Customize your MC to your heart's content
• Make friends (or enemies!) and find love
• Fill in an interactive index of people, locations, and more
• pet the fluffy bird

*as of this update

Meet and romance five unique characters whose genders you can select. Get to know them as the story progresses and keep their Index entries up to date on your dates!

Your Friend: Rain Stratos

Cheerful, enthusiastic, and more than a little airheaded, Rain hides a mysterious past under a big smile and a lot of really bad jokes.

Your Rival: Scarlet 'Scar' Amaranth

The self-described 'only sane person' in the research outpost. Scar likes to look cool and loves a good challenge.

Your Professor: Dionis Mond

Mond does nearly everything in Kaimula Village, although the content of the professor's true research is strictly confidential.

Your Leader: Mal Kane

Confident, charming, and self-assured, Kane is the youngest head of an IRO special operations team in history. ...And the former apprentice of your late father.

Your ???: Lune

Currently hunting you down. Wants you dead (?).
