Players appreciate the relaxing atmosphere and charming cat-themed hidden object gameplay set against beautiful Chinese landscape artwork, making it a pleasant casual experience to unwind with. However, opinions are mixed on execution, with some finding the cat integration awkward or the puzzle design uninspired, while others question the overall quality and feel the game prioritizes relaxation over actual engaging gameplay.

Drawn by Zhào Bójū (赵伯驹), the painting named Xiānshān lóugé tú (仙山楼阁图), which translates to Towers and Pavilions in Mountains of the Immortals, was an actual scroll in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. This game just adds 100 cats on top of that painting and turns it into a hidden cats game. Most cats are noticeable. Despite trying to mimic the painting colors, the cats are drawn in a different style, …6 found this helpful
"Do not listen to the sound of the wind and rain piercing through the bamboo forest, why not sing and walk slowly?... Looking back at the place where the wind and rain were, returning, there is neither wind nor rain, nor clear weather." - Su Shi.2 found this helpful
A very pretty and well-made game. The music is traditionally Chinese but quite relaxing. Cats aside, the background itself is a very well-drawn painting.
in the end i found all the cats but really looking back was it the cats who found me,
Lovely short experience. It's not mechanically complicated or interesting: It's simple and therapeutic. The music was pretty good, too. I will be buying the rest of the series.
A relaxing hidden object game with fitting music. The cats in color were a welcome change.
