music5 positive mentions
gameplay3 negative mentions
  • Adorable and charming art style with cute cats and a heartwarming comic story.
  • Relaxing gameplay with easy-to-learn mechanics, customizable colors, multiple music tracks, and a cozy atmosphere.
  • Features thoughtful details like cat naming and descriptions, an alphabetical cat list, achievements, photo mode, and replayability with puzzle and speedrun modes.
  • Very short and simple gameplay with only a few maps and limited content, leading to quick completion times.
  • Jigsaw puzzle mechanics are often frustrating, with pieces difficult to place and buggy controls.
  • Informational pop-ups can be annoying, and the game feels less challenging compared to other titles in the series, making it less appealing to dedicated hidden object fans.

  • music

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • gameplay

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The gameplay features easy-to-learn mechanics with enjoyable side quests that add variety, but is criticized for limited content, an overemphasis on the real-cat inspiration feature, and a poorly implemented jigsaw puzzle mechanic.

    • “Easy to learn mechanics.”
    • “Beyond searching for cats, the game includes enjoyable side quests that add variety and keep the gameplay fresh.”
    • “Ok that's 2 euros ... but still 30 minutes of gameplay with just 5 pictures, that's just way too few.”
    • “The jigsaw puzzle mechanic was abysmal both on desktop and Steam Deck.”
    • “The real-cat inspiration feature, once a sweet side detail, now takes center stage and overshadows the actual gameplay in content proportions.”

  • story

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story is a short, simple, and charming tale centered on a man and his elusive black cat, complemented by enjoyable side quests that add variety and keep the gameplay fresh.

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including puzzle pieces rotating uncontrollably and difficulty locking them in place, leading to frustration. Additionally, menus are often buggy, sometimes failing to function properly or unexpectedly redirecting to the main menu.

    • “Puzzle pieces would rotate rather than allow you to pick them up when clicked on (no matter where you clicked on the piece). They struggled to lock in place and would rotate numerous times when trying to adjust their positioning, which was extremely frustrating.”
    • “Menu navigation was buggy and at times would just not work altogether; clicking on a puzzle would just take you back to the main menu.”

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
