[H1]Cats in the Forbidden City[/h1][hr][/hr] 10 to 30 minutes to complete, Cats in the Forbidden City is a short hidden object game in which you explore the 1761 silk painting “Ten Thousand Nations Coming to Pay Tribute” (Winter version, there are two!) where an unknown artist painted the scene of foreign delegations from all over the world visiting the Qianlong Emperor in the Forbidden City. There are 200 cats to find, as they have been digitally drawn in this historical piece – so not only do you get to learn and get close up with a piece of history, you can find cats in it too. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3671853096 By clicking on the title, you can view the digitally scanned painting (299 × 207cm) without the cats. While this particular game is fairly short due to the paintings size, Catnip Studio has done this before with other silk paintings, some even being 40ft, or 12 meters long, so if you enjoy this one or are feeling particularly interested in history, there are a few other games to go through such as “Cats of the Qing Dynasty” “Cats of the Tang Dynasty” and one of my favorites; “Cats of the Yuan Dynasty” which was made sometime around 1271 – …

Probably the weakest of this series of games but still fun. The others tend to have way larger maps and thus the cats are hidden in a lot more different places. This one though is a bit more cramped. Still very nice. Beautiful to see the historic art up-close and in such great quality and cute cats. But meh hidden placements. For 99 cents though I mean if you are into this type of game, get it.

Yes its a very short play thru but the art is very well done. Nice music with nature sounds layered in so its a very relaxing game. I would try and catch it on sale though since it is so short.
