What players say

Players overwhelmingly find it a cozy, charming hidden-object game with lots of cats and retro references, though many note that full completion requires paid DLC.

Many players enjoy the relaxing pace, the hand-drawn scenes packed with cat puns and references to classic arcade games, and the retro soundtrack that changes with each era. Several praise the generous free base game, the flexible hint system and automatic saving. The most common complaint is that the DLC is needed for full completion and some levels are locked until purchase. Some players find the smallest or most camouflaged cats frustrating to spot, especially in the minigames where contrast is low. A few mention little innovation compared with earlier entries in the series and minor technical issues. Most players who recommend the game also say they bought the DLC, often to support cat rescue.

    Some players

Criticised

  • DLC needed for full completion

    Players point out that some levels are locked and that full completion and several achievements require paid DLC.

    Many players
  • Tiny or unclear hidden cats

    Players find certain cats too small, camouflaged or hard to tell apart from the background, especially in the minigames.

    Many players
  • Little innovation over the series

    Players feel the formula is unchanged from earlier entries and that the base game is less polished than some other titles.

    A few players
  • Technical issues

    Players report a broken clickable object, a crash that required force-closing the game, and motion discomfort from the camera panning.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suited to cat lovers and anyone who wants a short, relaxing hidden-object game with retro charm.
Who should skip it
Players who want challenging puzzles, a deep experience, or free access to everything should look elsewhere.

Short vs. long playtime: Players who finish it in an hour or two mostly call it short and sweet, while those who spend ten or more hours mention the time it takes to find everything and to complete the DLC.
