FAQ Preview
Fast Answers
Eight commonly asked questions from the full FAQ page, grouped by intent.
What is Fatal Claw?
Fatal Claw is a 2D Metroidvania Souls-like by NDEV Games, published by Com2uS Holdings. You play Kisha, a cat who wakes up in Origin Laboratory and pushes through late-game castles toward the Sealed Spire.
How does healing work?
Healing spends blue orbs that refill through attacking enemies or drinking tea, not by resting at stones. Plan around aggression, not safe rooms.
What is Cabitz?
Cabitz is a magic stone system for adding abilities or customizing existing ones. Combine Cabitz stones with Engraved Skills and Mutated Abilities to specialize your build.
How many regions are confirmed?
Fourteen main region steps from Origin Laboratory to Sealed Spire, plus three Sanctuary seal locations holding the Keys of Hope.
Does Fatal Claw support Steam Deck?
Yes. Community reports Playable status, full controller support, and Steam Cloud saves. TDP and per-game settings live on the Steam Deck page.
How many achievements are there?
51 Steam achievements at the 1.0 launch, including 10 official highlight achievements and 14 reach-area achievements.
How long is Fatal Claw?
Speedrunners clear it in a few hours. A careful first run with most regions and achievements lands around 18 to 30 hours.
Is there a single ending?
There is a single ending followed by a Stone of Narrative epilogue and an optional NG+ cycle. The Shrine of Ancestors return triggers after the credits.
