While I liked Hidden Cats in Christmas a bit better, this one is fun as it has a randomizing mode. Makes for much better replayability. It appears that it is only one puzzle at first, but you will unlock several other small ones and one large one at the end. These hidden cat games always get me. I like cats. I like Hidden Object Games. Easy buy. Especially to play around the holidays!

[h1][b]Hidden Cats in Santa's Realm[/b][/h1] [h3][b]Time Played:[/b][/h3] 2.5 Hours [h3][b]Last Played:[/b][/h3] 4th of December, 2025 [hr][/hr] Seeing as how some Christmas gaming was needed, Fanatical's gods send of a bundle gave me just what I wanted in the form of this, and on getting it, I almost-immediately dived in to see how it differed from the other 2+ “Find the Felines” series. [h3][b]Yay:[/b][/h3] + Immediately festive on booting it up. + I loved the art + Not only does colour exist, it comes in after finding all cats in an area (at least on the main level), acting as a guide to what you need to look at. + I loved finding everything, only to have it filled in. + Multiple difficulties add replay-ability. + ...and add another thing to find, while unlocking bonus levels. + Music was immediately wondrous, magical, and befitting of the season to me. + Achievements came fast, and were satisfying to me. + Some motion is present, where the others only had static images. + This is used to good effect in the bonus levels, as the only animated areas are the ones you need to click to have a cat appear. + I very much enjoyed said bonus levels, too. + Noticeably better presentation than the other games I've played like this, while also being way longer. + While this took me until the final level to realise, if you zoom in on an area where you've yet to find a cat, it will meow to signal you're in the right place. [h3][b]Meh:[/b][/h3] ~ Bonus levels only splash with colour on finding all cats. ~ Final level had elements always obscured by the HUD, so having the option to hide this would have helped. [h3][b]Nay:[/b][/h3] - While the rest of the game, its light-hearted tone, and elves of all colours being present (at least in the bonus levels) makes me think those involved with its creation were unaware of its racist-to-(Always separate government from people, people)-ethnic-Jews origins, Krampus appears as an entire race in this. [hr][/hr] [h3][b]Verdict:[/b][/h3] Notably better, and higher-quality to me than both the “100 Cats”, and “Hidden Cats” series, doing things I've not seen from either of those, while keeping the charm, and enjoyability of those, while also taking them to multiple levels, having you find more than just the titular animal, and remaining engaging throughout. [h3][b]Placed in:[/b][/h3] 2: Amicably-Approved

Super cute relaxing game! Not hot on the final collectathon level haha

I loved all the levels so much :)
