Free game for cat lovers takes over Steam trends

100 New Year Cats is a charming puzzle game brimming with festive New Year spirit. The goal is simple: Find 100 hidden cats tucked away in various scenes. From sparkling snowy landscapes to a cozy living room, each level beautifully captures the magic of the season.

Players seem to love it. On Steam, where 100 New Year Cats is free to play, it has earned 96 percent positive ratings from around 150 reviews. For those looking for more, the Deluxe Edition is available at a 28 percent discount, priced at $8.61 instead of $12. It includes the main game, exclusive bonus levels, a collection of digital wallpapers showcasing the game’s most beautiful scenes and access to the 100 New Year Cats soundtrack.

The sequel, 100 Korea Cats, is set to launch on December 15. While the gameplay stays the same, the settings have shifted. Instead of wintery scenes, players will explore South Korea, from traditional Hanok villages and serene temple grounds to the vibrant, neon-lit streets of Seoul. Excitement for the new cat adventure is high, as 100 Korea Cats currently holds the top spot in Steam's "Popular Upcoming" category.
