01 / THE GUIDE
Finding the Cats
The core activity is locating hidden cats across fifteen city levels, each populated with a portion of the 1,400 total cats. Players also search for nearly 1,750 other hidden objects while exploring Tokyo landmarks.
Success depends on careful visual scanning; the game supplies a radar to highlight nearby cats, helping players prioritize areas before the cats turn into monsters.
- Use the radar early in each level to narrow down cat locations.
- Compare the layout of each landmark with the in‑game map to anticipate hidden spots.

Radar Assistance
A built‑in radar indicates the presence of cats within the current view, acting as a guide during the search. It updates as you move, allowing you to focus on zones with higher cat density.
The radar does not replace visual searching; it merely points out where cats are nearby, encouraging a mix of scanning and tool use.
- Check the radar after moving to a new area to quickly spot nearby cats.
- Combine radar cues with the game's sound effects for better awareness.
