01 / THE GUIDE
Levels and Environments
The game offers three separate levels, all set within a forest motif. Within each level the scenery shifts among woods, cabins, snowy areas, lakes and mountain tops, providing visual variety while keeping the overall theme consistent.
Each level requires the player to find 100 cats, and the changing backdrops encourage the player to scan different types of foliage and structures for hidden felines.
- Take a moment to glance at the whole scene before zooming in; broad awareness can reveal obvious hiding spots.
- Notice which type of environment you are in (e.g., snowy vs. wooded) to adjust where cats might blend in.

Cat Count and Variety
Players are tasked with discovering 300 different cats across the three levels, meaning each level contributes a unique set of 100 felines. The description emphasizes a large variety of cat appearances.
When a cat is clicked it changes colour, confirming the find and adding to the overall tally of discovered cats.
- Watch the colour change as a visual cue that a cat has been counted.
- Remember distinct cat poses you have already seen to avoid duplicate searches.

Assistance Features
If a player experiences difficulty, the game provides optional hints that can be summoned to point toward hidden cats. Hints are not mandatory and can be used at the player's discretion.
A zoom function is also available, allowing the player to enlarge portions of the scene for closer inspection, which is useful in densely detailed areas.
- Try searching briefly on your own before activating a hint to keep the challenge alive.
- Combine zoom with a hint for the most precise focus on a suspect area.

Visual Style and Imagination
The art style is intentionally “badly drawn,” giving the forest a quirky, low‑detail look that relies on the player’s imagination to locate cats hidden in unusual situations.
Because the visuals are simple, cats can blend into unexpected spots, encouraging players to think creatively about where a feline might be concealed.
- Embrace the loose art style; it can make spotting cats feel like a playful puzzle.
- Let your imagination guide you to look in places that seem too ordinary for a cat.
