Garfield: Escape from Monday Blends Lasagna and Nightmares in a New 3D Platformer

A hands-on preview of Garfield: Escape from Monday reveals a bizarre 3D platformer from OSome Studio that mixes surreal dreamscapes, lasagna, and rogue vegetables.

Garfield has done almost everything in the gaming space, from classic home exploration to party trivia and kart racing. Now, the iconic cat is stepping into the 3D platformer genre with Garfield: Escape from Monday, developed by OSome Studio. Recent hands-on previews showcase a game that leans heavily into surreal dreamscapes, where players guide the famously lazy feline through surreal worlds filled with mountains of lasagna and hostile, rogue vegetables.

Rather than playing it safe with a standard licensed tie-in, the team at OSome Studio is leaning into the weirder side of the character. The preview highlights a distinct blend of whimsical foodscapes and bizarre nightmare sequences, giving Garfield an array of strange new abilities to handle his leafy enemies. It is a creative swing that helps this title stand out in a surprisingly vast catalog of historical Garfield games.

For players who grew up with platformers or just enjoy a solid, character-driven adventure across console and PC, this looks like a fun release to keep on the radar. As digital storefronts continue to fill up with live service grinders, a focused single player platformer with a heavy dose of nostalgia and weird humor could be a refreshing change of pace.
