In Hidden Paws, you search winter landscapes for cats that have been left outside and bring them home. The game presents its settings as compact 3D scenes, including snowy islands and festive locations.
Explore each scene by panning, rotating, and zooming the camera, then inspect its details for cats and balls of yarn. Some hiding places are inside objects such as cars and boxes, or beneath piles of wood; nearby cats meow to help you track them down.
Levels ask you to find a set number of cats and yarn, with hiding spots becoming harder to spot as you progress. You can interact with many objects in the environment, and the game includes hints for some searches.
Reviews often praise the cute cats, wintry scenery, and calm, low-pressure search, with some enjoying the environmental interactions and the challenge of finding well-hidden targets. Several also like the music and meows as part of the atmosphere. Camera and navigation controls are a frequent frustration, and some players report motion sickness.
It's winter and cats are still outside. Cold and alone. Find them and bring them home.
Features 12+ charming winter landscapes with over 120 little cats to find.

Open cars and boxes, rummage through piles of wood, search the forests. Cats are well hidden but they meow when you get near so listen closely and you might just be able to find them all.
