Press release:
Brisbane, Australia – May 1, 2026 | Brisbane-based developer Abandoned Sheep has announced that their upcoming cat quantum-puzzle game Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar is launching on Steam on May 21.

Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar is a quantum puzzle adventure where you play as Mittens the cat, who gains the incredible power to be in two places at once. Explore twisted test chambers, make mischief and evade capture by a whisker!

Amidst a heist gone wrong, Mittens — the world’s greatest (and most literal) cat burglar — finds herself caught in a quantum experiment, and gains incredible powers.

With the help of her friends and some new quantum tricks up her sleeve, Mittens must puzzle her way through the secretive research facility, uncover the truth, and make it home before breakfast.

“Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar started life as fun, learn-to-program hobby project.” Said director Martin Binfield. “Now, eight years after having started and in the company of an amazing team, I’m beside myself to be able to share the game with the world. This has been a labour of love all the way, and I sincerely hope that love is apparent to the player.”

Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar is launching on Steam on May 21 for US$19.99 with a 10% launch discount for two weeks. For more information, consider following the game on Instagram, TikTok, Bluesky & X @_AbandonedSheep.

About Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar

Amidst a heist gone wrong, Mittens — the world’s greatest (and most literal) cat burglar — finds herself caught in a quantum experiment, and gains incredible powers.

With the help of her friends and some new quantum tricks up her sleeve, Mittens must puzzle her way through the secretive research facility, uncover the truth, and make it home before breakfast.
Fun Puzzles

The game is based around a central quantum mechanic — at the press of a button Mittens can split into two cats, who can each be controlled to solve puzzles and cause trouble.
But there’s a twist…

The quantum superstate obeys Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle – when nobody is looking, Mittens could be in either location. If she’s observed however, things get theoretical…

Pass through doors (that could theoretically have opened).
Avoid security detection (you can’t see what doesn’t exist).
Quantum mechanics plus cats. No strings attached!

Cute Cats

Take a break from theoretical physics with some experimental fashion. Join the catwalk with plenty of strangely charming customisation options to unlock – each applicable to either quantum position.

Use your powers to access the inaccessible, evade the inevitable, and heist the unheistable to become Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar!
