How it feels

A gentle, meditative exploration of hand-drawn Shanghai scenes, rewarding patience with a slowly coloring world and the quiet joy of spotting hidden cats.

What players say

Players say the game is a very short cat-finding experience that takes about three minutes to complete, with cats out in the open rather than hidden. The art is pleasant, but bugs with settings not saving unless you relaunch the game are noted.
