Cute, fun, and relaxing gameplay with lovely art and a charming atmosphere.
The game features a unique city layout with multiple buildings and rooms to explore, adding depth to the hidden object experience.
The hint system is generous, allowing players to find hidden cats without excessive frustration.

The lack of a zoom function makes it difficult to find tiny hidden cats, leading to frustrating pixel hunting.

The game's story is described as having potential but suffers from poor readability due to an unappealing font and translation issues, making it difficult for players to engage fully. While some found the narrative heavy and verbose, others appreciated its presence as a backdrop to the gameplay, noting that it adds a layer of depth despite being skippable. Overall, the story's execution detracts from its impact, leaving players with mixed feelings about its coherence and accessibility.
- “The storyline, while skippable, offers a decent backdrop, and the music, albeit a bit eclectic at times, provides a pleasant atmosphere.”
- “I did however find the controls intuitive and easy to use, enjoyed the level structures (with the bonus items on each level) and liked the story aspect.”
- “This one has a story with it, but it honestly makes no sense - probably due to poor translation, but at least it's a little extra something for the game.”
- “On a different note, the story is quite heavy, dreary, and verbose... and it's using a terrible (but original) font in white letters over mostly pale blue backgrounds.”
- “I got a very basic understanding of what the story was about, but it was only the case after reading the same thing paraphrased around 8 times total.”

The game's art style is praised for its beauty, particularly in the design of the cats, but it suffers from issues such as tiny graphics in the main city scene and an unappealing font. While the overall experience is enjoyable, players with sensitive eyes or hands may find the small graphic elements challenging.
- “The game is really, really good and I would recommend it to others, but be warned about the small graphic issues if you have sensitive eyes or hands as you will be clicking things a lot.”
- “It feels impossibly long, and the font isn't pleasing from a graphic design standpoint.”
- “The game is really good, and I would recommend it to others, but be warned about the small graphic issues if you have sensitive eyes or hands, as you will be clicking things a lot.”

Gameplay is a mixed experience, featuring an innovative magnifying glass mechanic that enhances the search process and adds excitement. However, some players find the game frustrating due to challenging mechanics and the need for hints to progress, particularly in the base city area, where precise clicking is often required.
- “Game has an innovative magnifying glass mechanic which adds a fresh layer of excitement to the search process, focusing your attention on small areas and making cat-spotting a breeze.”
- “Exploring the buildings in the city adds depth to the gameplay, though some hidden cats require precise clicking skills.”
- “Frustrating game mechanics.”
- “I don't really know, maybe if the zoom mechanic would get fixed to something different from that magnifying glass, the game would be more enjoyable because the base city part is really just unsolvable without the hints.”
- “Some hidden cats require precise clicking skills.”

While experienced players may finish the game quickly, the potential for future expansions and building additions suggests that replayability could improve over time, offering players new content to explore.
- “For experienced hidden object enthusiasts, completing the game may take just an hour or two, but the potential for future building additions could elevate its replay value significantly.”
