The graphics of the game are characterized by a charming and cute art style, particularly noted in the main menu and loading screens.

“The artwork for the main menu background and success/failure screens is really cute and pretty well done, but everything else lacks polish.”

The gameplay features a mix of point-and-click puzzle strategy and side-scrolling runner mechanics across five levels. However, the stealth system is criticized for its simplicity, relying solely on proximity rather than the NPCs' line of sight, making it easy to be detected even when hidden.
“The game features two different types of gameplay across five levels: three are point-and-click puzzle strategy similar to NFH, and two are side-scrolling runner levels.”
“The stealth mechanic is simplistic; detection is not based on the NPC's point of view but rather on whether you are in the same room and not behind cover. The hiding spots in this game are indoor plants, so if you enter the room or come out of cover, even if the NPC is facing away, you will be detected.”
“The stealth mechanic is too simplistic; the detection is not based on the NPC's point of view, but rather on whether you are in the same room and not behind cover. The hiding spots in this game are indoor plants, so if you enter the room or get out of cover, even if the NPC is facing the other side of the room, you will get detected.”

The story revolves around a cat being chased by dogs, requiring players to navigate obstacles and escape using simple controls. While the narrative is straightforward and minimal, players can quickly grasp the gameplay mechanics and progress through the short experience.
“The story follows a cat being chased by dogs, where you navigate using the arrow keys and spacebar to jump, dodging obstacles until you reach safety.”
“After learning what I needed to do, I was able to progress through the story quite quickly (it's a small game).”
“The story follows a cat being chased by dogs, but it feels very simplistic and lacks depth.”
“The narrative is minimal and doesn't engage the player, making the experience feel shallow.”
“The plot is straightforward and doesn't offer any surprises or emotional investment.”
