The value story

69 discounts in the 6 years on record, a median of 45 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $2.69 at 46 percent off still sits 172 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 63 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, A Shelter Full of Cats ($4.99, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats A Building Full of Cats ($2.99, scores 81).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $3.80.

Cute little game about finding sleeping cats and seashells on different 3D dioramas. Peaceful. I enjoyed it.
RogueRecommendedafter 6.1hApr 2026Read on Steam
The game is very simple but really cute and relaxing. I liked spending time slowly exploring the little summer islands. Your job is to find seashells and wake up sleeping cats, which feels like a fun "cat rescue mission" 🐱🏝️ There are about 18 islands to explore. You look through places like windows, doors, suitcases, barrels, and cars to find hidden cats. Sometimes you also solve small puzzles, like pressing...
