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 on proximity rather than the NPC's line of sight, which can lead to frustrating detection scenarios.
“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 get out of cover, even if the NPC is facing away, you will be detected.”
“The game contains 2 different kinds of gameplay across 5 levels: 3 of them are point-and-click puzzle strategy similar to NFH, and 2 of them are side-scrolling runners.”
“The stealth mechanic is too 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 get out of cover, even if the NPC is facing the other side of the room, you will still be detected.”

The story revolves around a cat being chased by dogs, requiring players to navigate obstacles and escape using keyboard controls. While the narrative is simple and straightforward, players find it easy to grasp and engage with the gameplay quickly.
“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, as it's a small game.”
“The story follows a cat being chased by dogs, but it feels disjointed and lacks depth.”
“The narrative is minimal and doesn't provide enough context or engagement.”
“The overall story is simplistic and fails to captivate the player.”
