Whisker Wanderlust: The Mosaic of Souls

giving this a mixed review: it takes longer to complete than most other hidden object games which made it feel less satisfying, but doesn't that also mean it was actually a better hidden object game?

pretty scenes. and ok storyline. the people complaining about finding tins in the hide and seek mode what did you expect? the tins are pretty easy to find if you zoom in

游戏时间3.3小时，全成就98/98。又是一款画风可爱的找猫猫小游戏，祝我对抗焦虑和失眠。无倒数计时、无错误惩罚，将画面放至最大，目标项更易看到，整体还是蛮休闲的。

Simple fun, nothing too difficult. Really sneaky hiding spots. Some annoying bits are that you have to click on flashing NPCs every time you start a scene just so you know what you're looking for. You get a bit of "story", if you want to call it that, but it's ultimately just silly busywork that's not necessary. More annoying is that several objects are often hidden under the UI and the designers give zero Fs about it. Most other hidden object games specifically try not to put things behind the UI, but this one? Nope. I've accidentally hit the hint button just trying to click on something it was covering. That said, it's not deal-breaky whatsoever. You know exactly what you're getting with this game so if it speaks to you, get it. The art is delightful.

The gameplay is lackluster, but the art is very charming. A good game if you want something to fiddle with while doing something else.

It's a fairly bare bones hidden object (ghost cat etc etc) puzzle where you must scroll across visually crowded maps loaded with references to pop culture, art history, and just plain fantasy, looking for spectral felines as well as whatever additional object types (three new ones per map) are indicated by flashing characters in the maps. As is typical for these sorts of games, the graphics are basic but serve their purpose well, the music is pretty darned competent (but repeated [i]ad nauseum[/i] during a level), and the gameplay is very enjoyable. For one glaring downside, I should mention that the bonus game mode consists of trying old levels but with cans of cat food by the literal dozens scattered throughout the maps. Now, this sounds like a perfectly acceptable game mode (there are achievements for it and everything, so all you 100% cheevo hounds will be compelled to do it!) if it weren't for the absolutely ridiculous habit of sometimes hiding black textured cans of cat food/tuna/whatever inside black areas of the map. I mean, good luck!! There is a magnifying glass function which points you right to them, but sometimes there are three or four of the buggers per map, and the hint/magnifying glass function takes foooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to recharge. I'm going to recommend this game, but be aware that the aforementioned "can" levels can be seriously, unfairly, really taking the piss tough.
