Kitty Kart 64 Turns Mario Kart Nostalgia into a Glitched Psychological Horror — Demo Available Now
Kitty Kart 64 is an upcoming indie game from Scrunklesoft Interactive that combines kart racing visuals with surreal, horror-leaning exploration. The developer has been sharing short clips of the work-in-progress on social media, and a playable demo is already available online.
Overview
Scrunklesoft Interactive describes Kitty Kart 64 as a kart-style experience that leans into surreal and off-kilter presentation rather than straightforward racing. The game visually references classic, family-friendly racers, but the material posted so far shows environments and scenes that feel intentionally unfinished or distorted. The result is presented as a hybrid of racing and exploration with a horror twist.
Footage on Twitter
The developer has uploaded multiple short clips to social media to showcase the game’s current state. These clips are often brief, but they highlight odd or unexpected elements such as glitched areas, altered bonus stages, and sections that resemble scrapped or unfinished content.

Because the clips come from the developer, they serve as direct examples of what Kitty Kart 64 looks like in development. The footage is the primary source for most of the public information about the game so far.
Gameplay features
Concrete elements visible in the shared footage and developer notes include:
- Open-world map structure, rather than only track-based progression.
- The ability to drive out of bounds and explore non-race areas.
- Discovery of unfinished levels and what appear to be scrapped ideas embedded in the world.
- Bonus stages that show altered or corrupted designs compared to typical kart bonus levels.
- Social mechanics hinted at in footage, such as making friends or rivals on the raceway.
Out-of-bounds and social hints
In clips and descriptions, players can navigate outside standard track boundaries to access hidden or abnormal spaces. Additionally, short previews indicate some form of interaction with other characters on the track, though details about multiplayer or AI behaviour are not specified publicly.
