About this game
A Building Full of Cats is a PlayStation 4 adventure game centered on location exploration, character and object interaction, and objective or clue progression. Locations, objectives, and clues gradually open the main chapters, with progress divided into stages, tasks, matches, or growth milestones that make immediate goals understandable. Its value depends on whether these rules continue to create judgment and room for mastery rather than on length, sales, or series recognition. Short campaigns are judged by repeat-challenge value, while longer ones are judged by variety, pacing, and recovery after failure. Theme, character expression, and environmental clues need to support exploration together, while HD output, HDR or PS4 Pro modes, HDD streaming, surround audio, and television-distance interfaces need to preserve action, state, and text readability together. The genre-specific limitation is that guidance, objective triggers, camera behavior, or dense text can create search and comprehension costs. Platform conditions also include HDD installs and loading, patch version, storage space, DualShock 4 battery life, PS Camera or PS VR requirements, visual modes, frame rate, and network services affect the current release. This description covers only this platform release and does not import features or conveniences from remasters, emulators, or other console editions.
Collected in series
Full of Cats turns buildings, castles and other themed settings into searches for concealed cats. Devcats fills each scene with places to inspect, while some entries link the search to keys, alternate routes or a journey through different locations.

An adorable but brief hidden-cat diversion
This building rewards a slower gaze. A cat might peek beside a vase or exist as a tiny pair of ears inside a picture frame, and the intricate monochrome drawings make those discoveries charming. Opening drawers and following a special cat between hiding places add exploration to an otherwise simple search. It is an appealing short break, not a complex puzzle adventure. Some concealed triggers feel arbitrary, and fixed locations leave little surprise after completion. On PS4, zooming helps with small details and freely changing floors lets you leave a stubborn room for later. The single hint allowed on each floor is less generous when only a few cats remain. Treat it as a small collection of interactive illustrations rather than a source of evolving challenges.
Strengths
- Intricate, playful feline line art
- Environmental hiding spots vary the search
- Zoom and free floor selection
Weaknesses
- Some concealed triggers feel arbitrary
- Fixed locations limit replayability
- Only one hint per floor
Who it is for: Cat lovers seeking a short, relaxing hidden-object session.
