“With the simple mechanics of searching and finding 106 cats in Paris, this game impressed me for the great moments it gave me of relaxation and enchantment, both for the beautiful image, that you can see at the end, as well as the beautiful background music that plays during the gameplay, giving the player a beautiful immersion in the city of light.”
“One last kvetch, which certainly hasn't been patched out, is that the music is repetitive to the extreme. Thankfully, it can be turned down or even off completely, but it's still rather annoying.”

“I don't like that the music changes when you're at different parts of the screen.”
