The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.99, set in December 2025. It has been discounted 43 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today's $1.49 at 50 percent off still sits 51 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Take the discount away and it is a 81. With it, 95.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is cheaper than 61 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. Among the games that feel like it, A Shelter Full of Cats ($3.49, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats A Castle Full of Cats ($2.39, scores 94).

Of the 346 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 99 percent of the 3,299 reviews written there were positive, against 99 percent overall, and those are 81 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 0.7 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

It is a cute hidden-object game where you explore a building and find cats hidden throughout its different rooms and apartments. The main gameplay involves working through five floors, along with some secret areas, and finding more than 300 cats, including secret and hidden cats. Each floor has uniquely themed apartment-style environments, and the goal is simply to look around carefully and click on the cats you...

One of the coziest games ever. The premise is very basic, find the hidden kitties in a set of nice painted rooms, all part of a building with 6 floors plus some additional extra small rooms. If you are struggling there's a free rechargable hint that will pinpoint exactly where one of the cats is. There's no penalties for spamming clicks everywhere. The developer even included a very nice remake and you can play the...

Yes, there are some cats here. A real treat for an observant child or to relax with a cup of tea on a rainy afternoon. Highly imaginative and a tiny bit devious, the developers have a hidden agenda and a love for the antics of our furry feline friends. Double bonus for those that have already purchased the game with a rejigged remix to satisfy even the most relentless. Good luck
