60 of 183 · most liked firstA neat little puzzle game where you search for cats in 3D dioramas. I think the main target audience is kids, it's very easy and straightforward (there is even a "kids mode" or something but I didn't try that out, can't tell you what it does) but it's still fun for adults who like to play really cute and relaxing games. The colorful scenery creates a kinda cheerful atmosphere, perfect to unwind. If you get stuck you can use hints which show you very clearly what you need to do (in a little…

unlabelledView post →I played the game for Play or Pay 3rd Cycle of 2026 and it was picked for me by LazyBot. Cats in Time was such a nice little palate cleanser. Instead of the usual hidden cat formula, each level is a small scene puzzle box where you need to find 10 cats and 3 postcard pieces. Collecting all the postcard bits eventually unlocks a hidden scene, which gave me a nice extra goal to work toward. The whole game is super cute and completely stress-free. Most of the puzzles were fairly easy for me,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a cute game, though it's a bit simple for the avid puzzler. Most puzzles were simple, I should say, but there were a handful where I needed to think- which was nice! I will say though, most were far too easy in the regular mode. I can't even imagine the kids mode.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🐅 Excellent game mechanics! 🐈 Cutest cats ever! 🙀 Many of them! 🐆 Allows you to use your intelligence! 😼 But not too much! 😸 But you would still feel clever! 😽 Ideal for a tired 30+ y/o engineer! 😻 Loved it! 🐱 God bless emojis!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cats in Time – A Purrfect Puzzle Adventure Overall Rating: 8.5/10 Cats in Time is a charming, family-friendly puzzle game developed by Pine Studio that takes players on a delightful journey through time to rescue—you guessed it—adorable lost cats. It’s an experience that blends relaxing, brain-teasing challenges with beautifully crafted diorama-style levels, all wrapped in a cozy, whimsical aesthetic. Whether you're a seasoned puzzle fan or a casual gamer looking for something light and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Little game about looking for hidden cats. For some reason, all the cats are orange, in this game. There are a lot of "find the cats" games on Steam, but this one is actually very high in quality, when compared to most of the others. You go around 3D environments and solve some simple puzzles in order to find all of the cats (which are orange, in case I forgot to mention). The 3D environments are also based on different times (it's in the title) and places, so it has a pretty good variety of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For all its lightness, the idea of rescuing cats through time carries a wholesome charm that’s hard to begrudge. Pack it alongside a mug of cocoa and a rainy afternoon, and you’ll likely emerge relaxed, if not exactly challenged. A heart-warming concept wrapped in delightful dioramas, held back by puzzles that seldom make you pause to think. Rating: 6.5 / 10 I spin a miniature pyramid, spot a stripy tail poking from behind a sandstone block, and tap to free yet another whiskered…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bulmaca oyunu oynamak isteyen istek atsın! It's one of the shortest and easiest puzzle game that i ever played. The goal is to find 10 cats in all levels with 3 additional collectibles. Some of the cats hidden behind simple puzzles some just hidden. That's all about this game. There are no hard puzzles, no good story but it's kinda fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Casual, family friendly, relaxing... These are all tags used on the store, and they sum up this game. Cute puzzle game, really aimed at older kids and teens, while it has a proper kid mode as well to make it fun to just find the cats. A few of the puzzles were tricky, and a couple in particular needed you to find the solution to the puzzle within the level, but were obscure enough to leave me scratching my head. Crisp graphics, nice gameplay, simple audio. Would highly recommend for kids, or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly just a very chill simple puzzler. As others have said, this is definitely meant to be consumed in small chunks. Did this over 5 - 6 sessions and I'd say that's ideal. Didn't outstay its welcome, brought a smile to my face :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cats in Time is a charming "hidden cats" puzzler that excels as a shared experience. While it serves as a wonderful bonding tool for a parent and child, the core loop eventually struggles to maintain momentum, leading to a bit of fatigue by the time the final clock is wound. It has exceptional tactile puzzles. The interaction with the dioramas is satisfyingly "clicky." Perfect for Steam Deck - the tactile puzzles feel right at home on the Deck’s screen. It is also an incredible entry-point…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a cute game mixing hidden objects with light escape room puzzle mechanics. Some of them can be fairly unintuitive, obtuse, or finicky. Yellow usually indicates an interactable puzzle, but is also used for decor, and many postcards are hidden under objects that aren't consistently interactable, turning them into a click-fest instead of exploration. The camera can also be a problem, especially in the ways it restricts the zoom and zoom angles. The scenes are charming and the music…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good chilled out game, puzzles aren't particularly hard (besides the seasons levels) it's more of a doohickey gizmo fiddling simulator
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cozy hidden object mystery box puzzle game. Nothing fancy, nothing new
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s a relaxing point-and-click hidden object game. You have to find cats hidden in various locations. The locations have different themes (cities, seasons, festivals, etc.). The art style and cats are cute (They “meow” when you click on them!). The puzzles are overall on the easier side. Some may feel illogical. No story. There is very minimal textual interaction with an NPC at the beginning and towards the end of the game. Along with cats, each level has other collectibles (postcards),…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Heii everyone, So I got this game from Fanatical's Mystery game things. It's a nice point and click puzzle game where we travel through time and find cats that have entered different years. We find 10 cats in each section, 6-7 of which are in very simple places and the ones that are left are a pain. We've encountered bugs that have blocked the game 3-4 times so far. So much so that we had to reset the section to solve it. Also, I'm pretty sure I won't play it when I have so many other games.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I LOVE this game and it is strangely addictive. I love playing it when I want to unwind and not get too stressed. I wish there were a 100 more levels! The graphics are very cute, the puzzles are not too hard - just right to keep you engaged - and nothing brings as much joy as a hat wearing cat meowing while spinning into a time-space vortex.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unlike most puzzle games, where there are only specific types of puzzles, this one is quite refreshing and was a nice play 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is it weird I was looking through my Steam wishlist and was wondering if @pawsrpg.bsky.social ever played "Cats in Time" even though it's a puzzle game and not an RPG?
unlabelledView post →Very nice "Hidden Object"-game, with some use of your brains. Easyish Achievements, 100% / 5+h.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cats in Time, developed and published by Pine Studio, is a delightful and visually engaging puzzle adventure that combines whimsical charm with accessible gameplay. At its heart lies a simple yet imaginative premise: a quirky professor’s time machine malfunctions, scattering his beloved cats across various points in history. As the player, your mission is to travel through time and retrieve every missing feline hidden in intricately designed dioramas. The concept alone sets the tone for what…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall, really easy to play fun game. Cute graphics and cats. couple levels have buggy mechanics to a particular puzzle in the game. You can correctly solve the puzzle but the game doesn't recognize it as complete. Upon restarting the level 4 or 5 times the puzzle eventually was solvable.. I found the game fun but the broken mechanic that leads to a puzzle not being completed is really frustrating. (Particularly the puzzle in Tea House where you rearrange the door tiles to form a picture of a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite fun puzzle and cat finding game. Even my potato computer ran this game so You should have no troubles with it. The stages are fun and some cats take more skill to find, but in the end the game is totally worth it, even at full price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this game, even if some of the logic wasn't 100% clear (to me). Where's the sequel!?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah I'm not feeling this. The puzzles aren't really puzzles so much as dragging your mouse across a straight line. I HESITATE to even call them activities. When I open the taskbar on my desktop and click on my browser, did I just complete an activity? Can you call this an accomplishment? Maybe if I was three years old. Maybe if I was a quadriplegic or a double amputee. The only puzzle is how the heck this game has an "overwhelmingly positive" score on steam. I can't wait for these reviewers to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! The puzzle is quick to solve and easy to find. There's even a secret level—if you can discover it! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3423034407
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun, it doesn't have a timer so you can sit back and just explore the cute maps and puzzles without stress. It's really fun to chill with if you like puzzle games. Some of the puzzles are obvious and others are to make you scratch your head a bit. I love it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really nice relaxing game Until objects disappear or even some puzzles get stuck. kids also discovered that on the watch hint the hints don't show the puzzle or object. but the game is good fix these issues and its well worth getting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →you can tell this game is a work of fiction because there were 330 orange cats just sitting and doing nothing instead of wrecking havoc
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like games like The Room or solving real life puzzle boxes then this game is a must buy! Relaxing vibes, soothing colors and a wide mix of puzzles that range from easy to somewhat hard. The levels are a nice variety of relaxing locations with very chill atmospheres. Apart from 1 or 2 puzzles which were quite convoluted, the rest of the puzzles are a fun time. There are also some visual gags hidden in some levels which reward you for clicking and exploring each part of the level.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're looking for a difficult puzzle game that will test your perception skills, look no further -- because the biggest enigma has been you all along, looking at the thumbnail and the trailer and believing that "Cats in Time" is a hard-core rogue-lite souls-like experimental puzzler that stands out from the rest due to its captivating story and intriguing original mechanics.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cute puzzle, cute dioramas, and cute cats (with tiny hats)!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is such an adorable puzzle game. The artwork is super cute and I enjoy that much of the items around the puzzles are interactive. The puzzles themselves are creative and the game does a good job of not being repetitive. Highly recommend.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun, low stress, relaxing puzzle game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a cute hidden object game, not too challenging, but fun to play. A great time filler. I am enjoying it so far.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute little game (roughly two to four hours worth of entertainment) with some easy puzzles with almost every possible solution available within the same frame as the puzzle when you're zoomed out. Definitely fun to pass some time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In theory a nice game for beginner escape artists (very easy puzzles in the start at least). But already in room 2 I ran into a bug where the last puzzle is not showing so it is impossible to finish. Have to restart and start over.. Reading over other peoples comments on more bugs and having to restart makes me reluctant to keep playing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Steam Deck controls are iffy and frustrating. Postcards are really hard to see on Steam Deck and resolution on it is weird. Puzzles were way too easy, and there were some bugs (I'm looking at you China (the level)). On PC, the controls are much better and the resolution too, but as mentioned, puzzles are really easy and the game has no replay value. Once you finish the game, you finish the game. The achievements are really easy to get as you just play the game. I've 100% it on my first play…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the most buggy piece of garbage I've played on my computer yet. Half the time i had to restart a level because it BROKE so I ended up spending most of my "playtime" fighting the game instead of actually playing it. Don't waste your five dollars and save your self
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Puzzles + cute cats = What's not to like? Colourful and interesting wide range of scenarios. The animation for the puzzle sequences are well done. The puzzles vary in difficulty. Some are very quick & easy, others need more thinking about. The scenarios can be played and replayed in any order. If you enjoy this genre then I highly recommend this for your games library.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this would be a bit too simple for most puzzle game players unless you're looking for an extremely chill experience, but my niece absolutely loves it. Would definitely recommend to any puzzle loving kids in your life.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While it pales in comparison to heavy hitters in the genre like The Room, it was decent for $4. This one is more for kids. The logic puzzle are very simple.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fuck yes #CatsInTime #SteamDeck
unlabelledView post →Pretty easy puzzle game. Hint feature isn't a true hint feature; it straight up solves the puzzles for you. Otherwise fairly good game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playtime: 6.6 hrs I bought it after I watched someone recommended this game in a video when it was on sale and thought why not since it was cheap and seemed okay. After playing it for a little while I found it a little bit boring because the majority of the puzzles were pretty straight forward. Still, it took me quite some time to full achievement the game because you do need to search for stuffs in each level. Overall, I would say it's an okay game that might be good just for the purpose of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun, puzzle game. Not to difficult and also a nice game for kids.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice puzzles, combination of hidden objects and puzzle boxes. Usually very simple. Everything very logical.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun simple puzzle game to turn your brain off for 4 hours
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very cute and cozy puzzle game, where your task is to find cats. Can recommend to everyone, who likes puzzles!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**GOOD GAME FOR KIDS** Listen guys, the game is alright. It felt entertaining enough even though most of the mechanics are repetitive, and I think it is marked correctly for its target audience being kids. Think of it like a mobile app, and funny enough they actually do have a mobile app for this game and it's free, although I'm guessing you probably have to pay to unlock the rest of the levels. In terms of pricing, it is pretty good, especially when it goes on sale. Pine Studio is really good…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →kind of easy but very cute and fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is really cute but yet fun and sometimes challenging to solve. A nice pastime
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's cute, it's uncomplicated, it's reasonably fun, and part of the profits go to worthwhile charities. Don't expect a perfectly polished masterpiece, but it is a pleasant experience. Short and sweet.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Chill, fun, colorful.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very enjoyable puzzle game with cats in fun hats, packed with fun references if you know where to look. Highly recommend it.
