Gathering all cats and postcards enables access to a secret level (assuming that you can crack the code for it). There are 28 levels in total and aside from collecting all 280 cats, there are some additional collectibles to find – “postcard pieces”, which are well hidden and thus much more difficult to spot. And using it does not affect the achievements in any way (on the contrary, there’s one achievement awarded for using a hint). Additionally, there’s a pretty nicely done hint system that shows you exactly how to solve a puzzle, in case you’re lost. It’s the kind of puzzles you’d expect to find in a hidden object / escape room game, but in their easier versions.
They’re very fast to solve, taking mere seconds and only a few iterations. Normally you’ll have to either input a correct sequence (with the code being displayed somewhere visible in another part of the level), or play with some levers / move tiles to specific positions. The difficulty is fairly easy and constant throughout the game, since most of the puzzles are very clear and intuitive. They are usually trapped deep inside the central building of the level, and in order to reach them you’ll have to solve various puzzles and open secret doors or other boxes / containers. I did love Manic Hyena’s Hidden Paws games, and in all honesty I am a big fan of 3D diorama games, so I expected to be quite fond of Pine Studio’s Cats in Time too, but the game simply exceeded my expectations not only because it takes the best from both worlds, but also adds a lot of entertaining puzzling to the obvious exploration aspect.Įach level is a beautifully crafted 3D diorama in which you’ll have to find 10 cuddly cats. Playing Cats in Time was for me an absolute joy.
