The game offers a moderate level of replayability, primarily due to the inclusion of a timed mode that introduces some randomization, making it enjoyable for multiple playthroughs. However, players note that the limited number of scenes and the potential for memorization of certain elements may restrict long-term replay value. Overall, while it has features that encourage replaying, the experience may become repetitive over time.
“Infinitely replayable.”
“Fairly good replay value as you're not likely to remember most of the cat locations for a few playthroughs, at least.”
“Cons: limited replay value, only one scene to search.”
“Some replay value because at least the timed mode seems to have the same amount of randomizing.”
“Finally, there's even a timed mode that's unlocked once you've beaten the game, ensuring some modicum of replayability.”
