I Can Smell You from Here on itch.io vs Browser vs Android

People who search for “I Can Smell You from Here itch.io” usually want one of two things: the official page, or a quick way to start the game. Both lead to the same story by the same creator, with 5 endings, 20 save slots and about half an hour per run. What changes is the version you get, where your saves live, and whether the creator sees your visit.

Everything in the table comes from the official itch.io page and from this site’s own build files, read on 2026-10-08. All four options are free: the official page sets a minimum price of 0 and itch.io lists the game under its free games.

The official itch.io page opens on itch.io is where catproblem9735 publishes the game, its devlog and its comment section. Its platform row reads “HTML5, Windows, Linux, Android”, and the “Run game” button starts the HTML5 build in the page itself. Nothing else on the internet is newer than this page, because every update starts there.

Why it is usually the right choice

• It is current. The devlog lists v1.1.2 on 29 September 2026, which added volume control and the Android port, and the browser upload on that page no longer matches the older copy kept on this site (explained below).
• It credits the creator. Plays and downloads on itch.io show up in catproblem9735’s own itch.io stats; a visit to a fan site does not.
• Everything is in one place. The same page has the downloads, the content warning, the controls and the creator’s own answers in the comments.

Its limits

The browser version plays inside an itch.io frame, so the game shares the screen with the store page until you switch to full screen. Like any browser game, it needs a current desktop browser and a keyboard and mouse, and your saves stay in that browser.

This domain is an unofficial fan site. It hosts a copy of the creator’s own HTML5 export so the game can open as a whole page, with nothing to install and no account. All rights to that build belong to catproblem9735, and this site is not authorized or endorsed by the creator or affiliated with itch.io.

How it differs from the itch.io build

The copy here was taken before v1.1.2. On 2026-10-08 the two builds declared the same Godot engine file (38,814,086 bytes) but different game data: 44,260,868 bytes on itch.io against 44,247,144 bytes here, 13,724 bytes apart. That fits the devlog: v1.1.2 changed the game, so the copy here may lack volume control and anything else that update changed. We have not played the two side by side to list every difference, so we do not claim one.

When it still makes sense

• You want the game in its own full browser page, away from the store layout.
• You are already reading the guides on this site, such as the controls or the endings, and want to try a run without leaving.

If neither applies, use the official page. A save made here stays with this site in your browser and does not move to itch.io, and the reverse is also true, so pick one place before you start hunting endings.

Windows and Linux

The official file list has a 73 MB zip for Windows and a 64 MB zip for Linux. Once unpacked they run without a browser or an internet connection, which makes them the steadiest choice if you plan to replay for all 5 endings. There is no Steam version: the official page does not list Steam, and this site does not host any desktop build.

Android

The 92 MB file “I Can Smell You from Here.apk” is the creator’s own Android port from v1.1.2. The devlog says to download the .apk if the game does not work in your browser, and that only Android devices are supported for now. Take it only from the official page; this site does not host an APK and does not point to unofficial ones. The mobile page covers phones in more detail.

iPhone and iPad

The official page lists no iOS build. Neither browser version is made for touch: both expect a keyboard and a mouse, and we have not confirmed that either works on an iPhone. If you only have an iPhone, the honest answer today is to play on a computer.
