The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.79. That was June 2026. 47 discounts in the 5 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 5 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is cheaper than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Sudocats ($1.99, scores 97) and A Shelter Full of Cats ($3.49, scores 97).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $4.45. It costs $1.99.

Steam's global achievement data puts 60 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. None of the 318 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 98 percent of the 355 reviews written there were positive, against 99 percent overall, and those are 28 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 1.1 hours; clearing it takes 3, which is 2.5 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 1.1 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

Good puzzles with some really nice art to chill and relax. You learn zodiac and some valuable life thoughts along the way. It doesn't present a lot of challenge but it's cozy and relaxing which is the point of games like this.
Dikkie LawlessRecommendedafter 7.6hAug 2026Read on Steam
The game has a total of 14 puzzles, but if you choose to do both normal and hard mode it comes out at 28 total. That is not bad at all for the price. Lovely artwork, simple but effective, and with a nice message about adopting and not shopping at the end. The "Prediction" section tells you what cat you should get and a story about a cat like that. It did feel a bit lacklustre that they couldn't come up with more cat...
PheromirRecommendedafter 7.2hAug 2026Read on Steam
Cute cats, relaxing puzzles, and a cozy vibe. Simple but surprisingly satisfying!
