The game

Cadı Kliniği

You are a witch-healer with a shop in a quarantine camp. Patients walk in with an incomplete story. Your shelves hold a limited set of ingredients, and the shortage does not reset when the sun comes up.

Days do not count down to a fixed ending. You keep treating, and you keep living with what each treatment did, until you win or you lose.

The mood is warm and ordinary by day. As evening comes and your reputation moves, the shop gets less comfortable: a lamp that flickers, a floorboard that creaks. It is a light unease, not a horror game.

Every patient is drawn by hand and assembled from layered parts, which is why you can meet a stranger once and never see the same face twice.

The studio

Six people, one shop

Cat & Gocuk Games is an independent game studio based in Eskişehir, Türkiye, founded in 2025. We are a small team of six building Cadı Kliniği, a medieval fantasy clinic game. The studio operates under the sole proprietorship of Haktan Lofça.

Bootstrapped

We have not raised outside funding. The game is paid for by the people making it.

Built with Claude

Claude is part of how we develop: software architecture, coding, debugging, technical planning, documentation and content pipelines. It is a development tool for us. There is no AI feature inside the game.

Voices next

We plan to use ElevenLabs for character voice-over, so that patients can speak in the shop the way they look on the wall below.

  • Haktan LofçaFounder. Programming and technical lead.
  • ArdaGame design, content and sound.
  • Meryem2D art and characters.
  • Melike3D modelling and animation.
  • DilayEnvironment concepts and marketing visuals.
  • Emine2D art and characters.

Recent notes

  1. The wall fills up

    The artists handed over a new batch: counter variants with every handle and foot named, four lectern ideas, bottle colour tests and the three states of the frog-leg ingredient. They are on the wall above.

  2. Patients are drawn in layers

    The shop now builds each visitor from separate hand-drawn layers: body, hair, brows, eyes, nose, lips, clothes and shoes. One body type already gives more than ninety thousand combinations, and the Next patient button at the top of this page uses the same parts.

  3. Production repository opened

    The production repository for the Unreal Engine 5.8 project got its first commit. Development of the playable vertical slices has run from there ever since.
