From Brazilian boutique developurr Pinel Games and hidden cat publisher extraordinaire Silesia Games comes the latest installment of the interminable cosy game feline onslaught.
Much like Cats and Seek: Dino Park, this is a hidden cat game that has you pondering where kittens are hidden. Unlike that, the cats don’t have individual names and a slightly different method of progression.
Rather than a few discreet levels, all of Hidden Kittens: Kingdom of Cats is based around one outdoor hub in which you’ll unlock sub-areas as you find more kittens. Additionally, each section has a number of hidden cats besides those already hidden in plain sight. For example, inside a tent or a barrel.
Most of the cats are fairly straightforward to find though we did find ourselves squinting like Ken Jeong on occasion, but’s that down to our staring at a laptop all day, so more staring at small cats isn’t necessarily ideal.
You don’t get little audio cues when there’s cats yet to find with less than ten remaining sadly, though you do have the option to have hard to find cats pointed out to you with a tap of 
. If you tap a small animal that happens to not be a cat, you get a ribbit or a woof for example. It’s all very cute.
We were done inside an hour at least, so Hidden Kittens: Kingdom of Cats is definitely one for the trophy whores out for an easy completion as well as those wanting a game to relax with of an evening. Just the one evening though as we doubt it’ll last you much longer than that.
In conclusion, the game is short and sweet and as a result, so is our review. You can’t really go too far wrong with a hidden cat game, certainly when it costs less than a Sainsbury’s Meal Deal* (*other supermarket lunch offers are available) or a Big Mac. Less of a bitter aftertaste than the latter anyway.
+ Progression via the outdoor hub is fun
+ Frog go croak, dog go woof
- Cats don’t have names like in Dino Park
- No audio cues when you’re down to just a few cats
