Our take on Help the Cats
Rather than centering on combat or extended exploration, this game structures its progress around small assistance tasks for cats. Hidden-item clicks and clue interpretation replace the broader action systems often associated with adventure games.
What is Help the Cats?
Help hand-drawn cats by locating hidden objects and interpreting their clues.
Each completed assistance task opens the next stage. Interaction includes lifting a tablecloth, searching through a mouse hole, and opening a door. The game also includes a tomb that can produce a surprise if opened incorrectly. Progress is based on clicking the hidden item connected to each cat’s mission.
