Hello hoomans! ːfofinob2ː
Four years ago, we released our first hidden object game, A Building Full of Cats. Since then, we have launched 8 games in the series, with more currently in development.
After exploring many different themes, it has become clear to us that the future of the series lies in larger games with a stronger focus on new mechanics and storytelling. This naturally limits how many titles we can release because creating these worlds takes a long time. ːwadacatː
Many times we come up with ideas for smaller games, but we also know that releasing very small titles would go against the natural growth of the series. At the same time, we constantly receive requests for more frequent releases.
Flats Full of Cats is a building that is not bound by time or space. It allow us to explore fun and creative ideas that would not have enough content to become a full standalone game.
Each floor contains three apartments, and each apartment has three rooms or a similar layout. Every floor is a self-contained episode that includes three play modes: Normal, Expert, and Time Attack.
Normal Mode features three hundred cats with detailed designs that match the theme of each floor.
Expert Mode features three hundred minimalist cats designed for players with sharp eyes and plenty of experience.
Time Attack Mode is a replay-oriented mode that generates a mix of 100 Story and Expert cats and records how long you take in each apartment. No achievements! It is designed for players who enjoy personal challenges. There are no online rankings filled with cheaters. It is simply you and the game.
The game is sold by floors. The first floor is FREE, and every additional floor cost 1.99 dollars. Each floor contains one full episode, three apartments, ten rooms, six hundred cats, a themed quest, and sixty items to find. Each floor is completely independent, allowing players to purchase only the themes they find most interesting. Because this game will receive frequent DLC releases, achievements will be available only in the free base version. This helps keep progression consistent for everyone while allowing each additional floor to be enjoyed as standalone content.
This model allows us to create more content between the release of larger titles in the series while keeping our entire art team active and supported. It is an indie-friendly way of sustaining the people who bring these worlds to life, including the ones who need to feed their own cats! ːfofino2ː
And yes, we do plan to add more scenarios to the FREE version of the game in future updates. But for that to happen, the DLCs need to sell well enough to support the game's continued development. ːfofinoː
Thank you for your incredible support! Together, let’s build a future filled with cats!
