This game is such a chill little puzzle game, and I’ve been having a great time with it! It’s a Shikaku-style logic puzzle where you divide the grid based on the numbers, and each solved section gradually reveals part of a famous painting—except all the people have been swapped out for cats. And honestly? That alone makes it amazing.

The puzzles hit that sweet spot of being easy enough to zone out with but still engaging enough to keep me interested. It’s kind of like a mix between paint-by-numbers and Sudoku, but with way more feline flair. Plus, the classical music in the background makes everything feel extra cozy. If you like simple but satisfying puzzle games and have a soft spot for cats (or art!), this one’s definitely worth a look.

Desktop Cat Cafe is a super cute and cozy little idle game where you run a cat-staffed café right at the bottom of your screen while you do other things. The art is adorable, the vibes are chill, and watching tiny cat baristas serve up drinks to customer kitties is honestly just delightful.

That said, the game definitely has its quirks. It launched with a bunch of bugs (most of which have been fixed quickly), but I did have a heart-stopping moment when a patch wiped my entire progress after 100 hours—thankfully, that got rolled back. It’s also oddly CPU-heavy for an idle game, and everything moves really slowly. Customers take their sweet time, food and drinks take ages, and there aren’t any upgrades to speed things up (yet). Also, placing chairs one by one is a bit of a pain—I’d love a “fill all” option! And yeah, sometimes the customer cats just… sit inside each other.

Despite all that, I still think it’s a really adorable little game with a lot of potential. If you love idle sims and cats, it’s worth checking out—just be ready for a slow, relaxed pace (and maybe some stacked-up kitties).

Infinity Cats Project is a cute little idle typing game where you mash keys to earn coins, buy upgrades, and hire three adorable kittens to type for you. It’s got a super sleek UI, and the whole aesthetic is really charming—definitely easy on the eyes and very chill to play.

That said, it didn’t quite grab me the way I hoped. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s missing that extra something to make it really stand out. Still, the cats are super cute (seriously, they’re the highlight), and it’s an easy 100% achievement-wise. I used an auto key presser to speed things up, so I’m not sure how long it’d take going fully manual or relying on the cats alone.

The shop has a bunch of different things to purchase, such as books (that give words to get coin boosts), the cats and upgrades for them, and items you can purchase to automate cat care or give boosts for the working conditions for the cats. The book side of the shop only shows six random books at a time, so you’ll have to upgrade older ones to free up space, which adds a little grind, but it’s manageable. Overall, it’s a pleasant, low-effort idle game with some charm—especially if you like cats—but it probably won’t blow your mind.

I played this game for Pay or Play 1st Cycle of 2025 and it was picked for me by Droha.

Firewatch is one of those games that sticks with you long after the credits roll. It’s a beautifully crafted, story-driven experience that drops you into the Wyoming wilderness as Henry, a man coming to work as a fire lookout, trying to escape his messy life. Your only real connection is with Delilah, your supervisor, who you talk to over a handheld radio—and from there, things slowly unravel into a gripping mystery.

I won’t say too much about the story (since that’s what really makes the game shine), but exploring the gorgeously rendered forest, making choices that shape Henry’s relationship with Delilah, and uncovering secrets along the way was an unforgettable experience. It’s not a super long game—I finished 100% in just under 7 hours, with some idle time—but it’s absolutely worth playing.

That said, it’s not without its flaws. There are a few more bugs than I expected, and I did notice some traversal stutters here and there. Also, the later part of the story felt a little rushed—I would’ve loved to experience more days firsthand instead of skipping ahead so much. But even with those minor issues, Firewatch is an emotional, atmospheric, and visually stunning adventure that I’d highly recommend.

Hidden Winter Things is a cute little hidden object game that’s perfect for when you just want to chill and soak in some winter vibes. The hand-drawn art is super charming, and the lo-fi soundtrack makes it extra relaxing. Plus, I love that the objects light up in color when you find them—it’s a small thing, but really satisfying.

The game has two looping maps, so you can scroll endlessly while hunting for snowmen, elves, candy canes, and other festive stuff. The hint system is great too—no penalties for using it, so you can just play at your own pace. Oh, and the WASD panning? Such a nice touch.

It’s definitely a short game, but it’s a fun, cozy way to unwind for a bit. Also, I couldn’t help but laugh at the tiny elf peeing in the snow. If you like hidden object games, this one’s a cute little winter treat! 🎄❄️

I really wanted to love this game—the 3D diorama rooms are adorable, and the idea of searching for cats in those 3D spaces sounded like a fun time. But honestly, it fell flat for me.

First off, you’d think with a 3D art style, you’d be able to rotate the diorama to look around. Nope. You’re stuck with a fixed perspective, which feels like a huge missed opportunity. On top of that, every single cat is the exact same model, and they really stand out, making the game way too easy. I finished the whole thing in about 15 minutes, which left me feeling pretty underwhelmed.

Thankfully, I got it as a gift, so I didn’t have to spend my own money on it. The art is lovely, but overall, it’s just too short and too simple—I really wish there was more to it.
