Game Introduction
Hidden Cats: Object Search Puzzle is a hidden object puzzle game that turns searching into a playful treasure hunt. Players join Matt, a character from the Epic Battle Fantasy series, in a lighthearted adventure to locate numerous adorable cats along with various other objects, creatures, and small details hidden throughout each scene. The game features hand-drawn visuals that give every area a charming and distinctive style. Behind its relaxed gameplay, it tells a humorous story about friendship, maintaining the playful tone fans of Matt Roszak's games will recognize. This online version uses Flash technology and runs through Ruffle, while the full game is available on Steam.
How to Play
In Hidden Cats: Object Search Puzzle, players click on objects and cats hidden within each scene to collect them. Each location can be explored freely: you can open parts of the environment by clicking, zoom in for a closer look, and move sideways across increasingly large maps filled with things to find. The game includes a detailed hint system for when you get stuck—you can ask for a general direction, check whether a special action is needed to reveal the target, or spend more hint points to uncover it directly. The search becomes more engaging as each area grows in size and complexity, rewarding careful observation and exploration.
Game Features
Hand-drawn visuals give each scene a unique and appealing look. The detailed hint system helps players of all skill levels navigate challenging searches. Free exploration allows you to open doors, zoom in, and scroll across large maps. A humorous story about friendship adds charm to the experience. Adorable cats and many other objects keep the search interesting throughout. The full version includes 3 difficulty modes and more than 20 hours of gameplay. Sound effects triggered when clicking on objects or animals make the game feel lively and responsive.
Tips for Success
Take your time exploring each scene thoroughly—hidden objects may be partially obscured or placed in unexpected spots. Use the hint system wisely: start with a general direction hint to save points, then check if a special action is needed before spending more. Practice scanning systematically, such as from left to right or top to bottom, to avoid missing items. Pay attention to sound cues, as they can signal interactive elements. Revisit areas if you get stuck, as a fresh perspective often reveals what you missed.
