This was such a cute little game. So well drawn and beautiful when lit up. I really enjoyed the music, too. It was short but very sweet, well worth the "price." Very entertaining. Highly recommend.

I will be buying the other Hidden Capybaras games for sure.

I'm really sorry I can't give this game a positive review. It just isn't for me, though I'm sure it fits the bill for some people.

The graphics and music are beautiful and relaxing and the story is cute and cozy.

But when "all is meowed and done," all the levels are square or rectangular boxes of various sizes and compartments with different background themes and colors that you fit cats in different poses into. I've enjoyed similar games but they have had different kinds of puzzles that retain your interest and keep you challenged.

For me, it got really old in a hurry--more frustrating than challenging. I've been trying to push my way through it but I'm not sure I'm going to make it.

I wish the developers well but I cannot give the game a positive review.

These "Find All" games just keep getting better and better. By far my favorite HO series. I love the variety of objects to find and the way the game keeps coloring in as you go. This one has added a few more mechanics to make it even more interesting. There is also replay value, a couple years after the first ones, I went back and played them again.

Keep them coming! 10/10

I've decided to give this game a positive review, with caveats.

Very cute game with great graphics. Some of the levels I absolutely loved doing, others were annoying and a couple, it took me a while to understand how to do. I think which types of puzzles you enjoy will just come down to personal preference.

I enjoy doing the "Daily Tidy" as a quick mind puzzle every day. I plan to buy the Cupboard & Drawers DLC but plan to skip the Seeing Stars, based on their reviews.

It is short and most of them are very easy so I would wait for a sale.

Edit 10/20/24: I just finished the Cupboards & Drawers DLC and I was very pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed all of the "puzzles" and some of them were surprisingly challenging. It is short so wait for a sale (or you can get a discount based on owning the base game) but I would definitely recommend this DLC.

THIS GAME IS SO ADDICTIVE!

WARNING! You won't want to walk away.

If you like these types of games, you will love it. Highly recommend for a challenging but chill game.

This was a fun game. Along the lines of "The Room" games. Open a series of several boxes using a good variety of puzzles to get to the final object/mechanic. A good and straight forward story line along with it.

A bit on the easy side (it gets slightly more challenging about mid game), but it was fun anyway--I hate to have to check a guide when playing a game anyway. A lot of clever mechanics. Beautiful graphics.

I would definitely recommend this game.

I kind of hate to give this game a bad review but I also kind of have to. I absolutely loved the first game but this game is actually, for me, just too big and repetitive.

There are many different worlds to explore which normally would be great; however, the (what seems like hundreds) of puzzles, collectibles and notes should be compartmentalized to each world. Instead, you carry all of them together as you move on again and again. There's also many labyrinths in the game and unless you keep copious notes on each area, you soon get quite tired of trying to keep track of all of them and the numerous puzzles and items in each one.

Collectibles! I usually love to collect things in a game but they should be kept separate from the items that pertain to the puzzles. They are thrown in together with all the rest of your inventory items.

Some of the areas (the garden!) that have numerous buildings and other outdoor areas--so many that it's mind boggling. You don't know where to go or what to do next particularly when the puzzles themselves are more often than not, unintuitive. For instance, there is an area that has some blinking lights on a stairway. There are switches that operate those lights but that is not immediately recognized because there are many blinking lights in the same scene so you can't really tell what the switches are operating. Then the lights have to be in a certain order. I never figured out how you are supposed to know what order they should be in, I just kept pressing the switches until I accidentally got it right. The only way I even knew to check the lights in the first place was by looking at one of the in-game hints. I don't mind checking a hint guide occasionally but I don't want to walk myself through a game using one.

I hate to quit on this game but it's just too exhausting to solve hundreds of unrelated puzzles with no sense of satisfaction that you've moved forward in the game. For me, it's like there's just no light at the end of the tunnel so, sadly, I think I have to move on to another game.......

Started out pretty good. Very challenging mini games and there's no hints or clues on what you have to click on. Still, I did OK through the first 2 levels. Then I found out why it's "free." You have to pay for hints.

I'm ok with paying for a game. In fact, I usually don't download "free" games b/c I figure they might not be worth playing. However, I do not want to get into a game and then find out I have to start paying something. Maybe I missed it but I would like to know up front.

This is a cute logic game. It is a bit on the easy side (it gets a bit harder about midway) but it keeps your mind working and a zen way to spend a few minutes. One other reviewer put it best when he said he sat down to play for a few minutes, looked up and hours had gone by!

I only have one "wish list" about the game. I'd like to see it give an "accuracy" score to each level.

EDIT: They've added "Daily Challenge Mode"! Love this, I'm not really into the challenge part but it's become a welcome daily routine for my brain!

I highly recommend this game!

This is a really fun Escape game. The graphics are great and the mechanics work well. The puzzles are just the right blend of challenging/doable/intuitive and NOT frustrating.

You play a person delivering a package to a mansion and must make your way through each room by solving a variety of puzzles.

Only con was being unable to save except between "levels" (rooms). I had to start over a couple of times b/c life gets in the way of game playing from time to time!

Wish it had been longer (my playtime was b/c of having to start over on a couple levels and I played it through twice).

Devs, all I can say is great game and I hope you will do more!

I highly recommend this game!
