You can now pet the cat in Katana Zero. The excellent time-bending cyberpunk samurai slasher just got its first major update, which includes a hard mode with revamped levels and reworked bosses, a speedrun mode, new achievements, stealth fixes, and yes, the ability to pet a kitty.

Katana Zero has a new trailer that shows off some of the game’s story in addition to fast-paced “neo-noir” action shown previously. Being developed by Askiisoft with a release targeted for sometime later this year, the game features time-dilation and a synth-80s vibe that still feels fresh.

OK Katana Zero, you have my attention. The game is being billed as a “a fast paced neo-noir action platformer,” and it looks equal parts slick and brutal. Among other things, the game will let you slow down time and interrupt characters during conversations. It’ll be out sometime this year. Watch the full trailer…
