Find Us Cats

[H1]Refund speedrun 101[/H1] I played for less than 15 minutes before deciding this was a refund for me. Even at around 3$ CAD on sale, I expected more than something that barely lasts a coffee break, especially when the quality falls behind so many other HOGs. There are a few nice ideas, though. The hint system uses a little cat to show pictures of the remaining cats' surroundings, the point-and-click controls are instinctive, the zoom is good, the visuals are cute, and the options menu is surprisingly complete with multiple sound sliders, resolution and monitor selection, brightness, fullscreen, and even a "run in the background" option. There's also a leaderboard, though honestly I wish I could disable it. The biggest problem is simply the lack of content. There are only 2 levels, the Planetarium and San Francisco, with around 50 cats total. I spent barely 5 minutes actively playing, and most of the recorded playtime came from leaving the game running in the background. That's simply not enough to justify the asking price. The presentation doesn't help either. The images are so low resolution that everything looks grainy, even fully zoomed out. In the Planetarium stage, the stars are visible below the floor level, making the rotating projection feel pointless. The hints are also tiny, to the point where they were difficult to make out even on my large monitor. Then there are the achievements, which feel completely disconnected from the hidden cat gameplay. Some ask you to watch the credits or click the menu cats, which happen to link directly to the developer's Discord. Locking an achievement behind an external link feels like poor practice. Others require randomly clicking objects around the menus and levels, turning the hunt into an awkward click fest with little logic behind it. One achievement even unlocked at a completely unrelated moment instead of matching its description. Between the short playtime, lackluster presentation, and odd achievement design, this simply isn't worth your time, your money, or your completionist ambitions when there are so many stronger hidden cat games available. Pass (sadly).
