About 100 New Year Cats
100 New Year Cats is a hidden‑object adventure where players search for a hundred hand‑drawn cats across New Year‑themed scenes. The single‑player focus lets you explore at your own pace while cute art and an upbeat soundtrack set a festive mood.
Each discovery triggers a cheerful meow and updates a combo counter, adding a light sense of achievement. Colored or black‑and‑white visual modes, brightness control, and zoom let you adapt the view to personal preference and lighting conditions.
01 / THE GUIDE
Finding the Hidden Cats
The core task is to locate 100 cats hidden in each level’s artwork. Completion is measured by reaching the cat count, with meow sounds and a combo counter accompanying your finds.
The game presents a single main level and an extra level, each with its own set of hidden felines. The “no text” design means visual clues are the only guidance, making the hunt purely observational.
- Scan the whole scene briefly before zooming in on details.
- Watch the combo counter to gauge how efficiently you locate cats.

Colored and Black & White Modes
Players can switch between a vibrant colored presentation and a classic black‑and‑white style. Both retain the high‑quality resolution artwork, ensuring clarity regardless of palette choice.
Brightness settings let you brighten or dim the scene without altering detail. Combined with zoom, these tools help reveal cats that might otherwise blend into the background.
- Try black‑and‑white mode if colored details feel distracting.
- Adjust brightness to reduce eye strain during long sessions.
03 / THE GUIDE
Levels and Cat Count
The game includes one primary level and one extra level, each populated with 100 hidden cats. Completing a level means finding every feline in that specific scene.
Both levels share the same visual and audio features, so the experience feels consistent while presenting new challenges through distinct cat placements.
- Finish the main level before tackling the extra level for a sense of progression.
- Use the hint system if you become stuck on a particular cat.
04 / THE GUIDE
Soundtrack and Meow Effects
An upbeat soundtrack plays throughout, enhancing the festive New Year atmosphere. Each cat discovery triggers a real meow sound, providing immediate audio feedback that reinforces the reward loop.
The audio design is simple yet clear, ensuring sound cues are audible without overwhelming the player, allowing focus on visual searching.
- Enable headphones to fully appreciate the meow cues.
- Adjust system volume if the soundtrack feels too dominant.
05 / THE GUIDE
Zoom, Hints, and Progress Saves
Zoom lets you enlarge portions of the artwork, making tiny details easier to inspect. Hints are available to guide you toward undiscovered cats when needed.
Progress can be saved, allowing you to return later without losing discovered cats or level completion status. The “no text” approach means hints are visual rather than written.
- Use zoom sparingly to keep overall scene context visible.
- Reserve hints for particularly tricky sections to maintain challenge.
