Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “An Arcade Full of Cats”. Journey through gaming history’s time and space, while searching for adorable feline companions in ‘An Arcade Full of Cats,’ the ultimate pet’em up hidden object game.
Devcats’ An Arcade Full of Cats is a free-to-play love letter to both the golden age of arcades and the internet’s eternal obsession with felines, sending protagonists Leo and Fofiño on a time-traveling adventure from 1980 to the year 2000 through five lovingly hand-drawn scenarios where classic arcades have been reimagined as cat-infested wonderlands bursting with hidden whiskers, tails, and paws. The self-proclaimed “ultimate pet’em up” earns that title with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating across nearly 8,000 reviews – a staggering achievement for any game, let alone a free one – by nailing the two things it sets out to do: making every scene a joy to explore and making every hidden cat a satisfying little dopamine hit when discovered. Each scenario is a charming, catified rendition of a different era in gaming history, packed with nostalgic references that will make anyone who ever pumped quarters into a cabinet smile while they scan every pixel for cleverly concealed kitties. With 50 achievements, a TimeWarp Trouble DLC expansion for those who want even more, and the kind of wholesome, family-friendly charm that transcends language and age, this is the rare free game that gives more than most paid ones ever bother to – and it does it all with cats.
