A Castle Full of Cats is a catvania hidden object game where you need to find all the cursed cats in the castle. Save each and every cat and unleash the power of love! ♡
As Lily, players take on the role of the protagonist who must navigate the cursed castle and rescue over 600 transformed cats in order to save her soulmate Fofiño and break the spell. The game features a metroidvania-inspired structure with 20+ unique rooms for players to thoroughly explore.
Players unlock new areas of the castle by finding keys or completing certain objectives. This encourages revisiting earlier rooms to search for more cats or discover new paths, much like the classic metroidvania genre. For example, finding a specific number of cats in previous locations may grant access to otherwise inaccessible rooms.
The core gameplay loop revolves around finding and clicking on the hidden cats within each room. Some felines are in plain sight, while others cleverly conceal themselves inside objects and environments. Players must carefully examine the surroundings and interact with interactable elements to reveal the hidden cats. A counter in the UI displays the remaining cats to be found in each area.
Clicking on various objects in the rooms can sometimes uncover hidden cats or unlock new areas by providing keys or unlocking doors. This layer of interactivity adds an extra challenge, as players must thoroughly investigate their surroundings to uncover all the secrets.
The game's zoom function allows players to closely inspect the detailed environments, making it easier to spot the well-hidden cats. Additionally, the ability to pan and scroll around the rooms is crucial for thoroughly searching each space.
For players who get stuck, the game provides a hint system that can be upgraded to highlight the general area or provide more specific guidance on the location of hidden cats, assisting players in their feline-finding endeavors.
Towards the end of the game, players must confront Fofiño, the master of the castle, in a boss battle. This sequence requires quickly finding and clicking on a set number of cats within a time limit, adding an element of challenge to the otherwise relaxed gameplay.
