If you're craving more cat-finding fun, there's also a DLC with 4 extra levels and 420 more cats waiting for you. Hopefully, it satisfies your cat-collecting cravings! ^^

• Weve added a brand-new feature called Rubber Stamp Collection, inspired by Eki stamps often found at Japanese train stations and tourist spots a fun way to collect memories through stamps!

But if you notice a major issue, feel free to DM me![/quote] -------------------

Cats and Seek: Tokyo marks the end of our Japan trilogy.

Were incredibly grateful we were able to complete it. This whole series is a love letter to our first-ever trip to Japan in 2019. Its been 6 years, but it still feels like yesterday: enjoying takoyaki in Osaka, exploring Kyotos temples, and gazing at the bright LED lights of Tokyo. Fun fact: the cities we visited are in the exact same order as the game releases: Osaka, Kyoto, then Tokyo! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2672090/Cats_and_Seek_Osaka/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2845320/Cats_and_Seek_Kyoto/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925320/Cats_and_Seek_Tokyo/ We hope these games sparks some nostalgia if youve been to Japan before, and if you havent, we truly hope youll get the chance to go someday. And to everyone in Japan, thank you so much for your warmth and kindness during our time there. We really hope we can visit you again soon! -------------------

So, whats next for the Cats and Seek series?

Were not stopping! Estu already has a new idea for the next game, and well be sharing more soon. If you have a theme youd love to see in a future Cats and Seek game, feel free to drop your idea in the comments :D you might just inspire us! If you run into any bugs or issues, please report them in the forum here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2925320/discussions/0/597399045152003671/ Well do our best to fix them as soon as possible! Thats all from us for now. Thank you again for all the support, we hope you have a relaxing and cozy time with Cats and Seek: Tokyo. Happy cat-hunting! With love , UB & Estu ------------------- P.S. Dont forget to wishlist our upcoming games too, it really helps a lot!

Hi friends! Do you remember the little prototype we shared a while ago? :D Good news! Thanks to the feedback you gave us through the survey, weve decided to turn that prototype into a full game! It's now called Pictective, and the store page is live : https://store.steampowered.com/app/3690390/Pictective/ Were super grateful to everyone who tried the prototype and sent in feedback. We've managed to implement some of your suggestions (yay!), although sadly, not everything made it in due to some limitations on our end.




The game is still in the early stages of development, but if you add it to your wishlist now, wed be super grateful! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3690390/Pictective/ Thats all for now! And dont forget, Cats and Seek: Tokyo is launching this Sunday! Thanks to your support, its currently sitting in the Popular Upcoming queue, thank you so much for making this happen!

Hi everyone! Aprils here already, so its time for a little update from us about whats been happening over last month!

All levels of Cats and Seek: Tokyo are ready!

Kamakura is the final level youll be able to explore through the DLC. So in total, there will be 5 levels (1 free, 4 in the DLC):

• Asakusa (Free)
• Akihabara
• Ueno Park
• Shibuya
• Kamakura

You can check out a sneak peek of the levels on our Patreon post!

Stamp Collection!

This is a brand-new feature we added, inspired by the Eki Stamps we discovered while wandering around Tokyo last year. In Japan, a lot of train stations and tourist spots have special stamps you can use as souvenirs. We loved the idea so much that we added our own hidden stamps in Cats and Seek: Tokyo! You can find them, collect them, and use them to create your very own in-game artwork.

Community Translation

Yes! By the end of last month, we ran our very first community translation for Cats and Seek: Tokyo, and the response was amazing. We're super grateful for your support! Thanks to everyones help, the game is now translated into 15 languages so far!

• Brazilian Portuguese
• Croatian
• Dutch
• Finnish
• French
• German
• Italian
• Polish
• Romanian
• Russian
• Simplified Chinese
• Spanish - Spain
• Spanish - LATAM
• Turkish
• Ukrainian

Some other languages are still in progress too. If youd like to help translate a language thats not done yet, or not started at all, feel free to hop into our community forum here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2925320/discussions/0/597396108583437769/

And finally

Its April, which means its launch month for Cats and Seek: Tokyo! Were a bit nervous, haha. Theres still a lot to double-check and polish. Once everything is ready, well announce the official release date. Stay tuned! If you havent wishlisted the game yet, please do! And dont forget to check out our other title, Cats Around Us: Black Cat. Its waiting for your wishlist too! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925320/Cats_and_Seek_Tokyo/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3545910/Cats_and_Seek_Tokyo__Extra_Content/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3426090/Cats_Around_Us_Black_Cat/ Warm regards, UB & Estu

Hello everyone! Time flies and here we are in March 2025! Here's a little update on what's been happening since January.

Cats and Seek: Tokyo

As of today, 4 levels are ready to play! You can explore Asakusa, Akihabara, Ueno Park, and Shibuya. Estu is currently working on the final level, making a total of 5 levels in Cats and Seek: Tokyo. One level will be available for free with all its achievements, while the other 4 will be part of the DLC for those who want extra content. The DLC is available to wishlist now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3545910/Cats_and_Seek_Tokyo__Extra_Content/

Cats and Seek: Toge Land

Back in January, we collaborated with Toge Productions to release Cats and Seek: Toge Land to celebrate their anniversary. We're so happy to see that the game has received 189 reviews so far! Thank you so much to everyone who played and left a review

Prototype

We also tested an early prototype for another game series we're working on. So far, we've received more than 60 feedback submissions through the survey included in the prototype. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to play and share your thoughts! If you're curious and want to try it out, you can check it out on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/new-prototype-120037282

Patreon

Thank you to the 180+ members who have joined our Patreon! We've been sharing sneak peeks of upcoming levels there, and we're so grateful for your support. We also received a suggestion from one of our players about community localization. Currently, all cat descriptions are only available in English because there are so many of them, and professional translation would be too expensive for us. Meanwhile, AI translations often produce weird or awkward phrases. I'm now looking into ways to set up a community localization system that would be easy for everyone to use. Once I figure it out, I'll share the details on Patreon. And if you're interested in helping, please join us! Our Patreon is free to join.

Events

This March, we're joining two online events: The Days of Ramadan and the Women's Day Sale. Make sure to visit the events and check out many other awesome games! Oh, and Giant Cat is on discount too! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925310/Cats_Around_Us_Giant_Cat/

Your wishlist really helps us a lot. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3426090/Cats_Around_Us_Black_Cat/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925320/Cats_and_Seek_Tokyo/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3545910/Cats_and_Seek_Tokyo__Extra_Content/ That's all for now, thank you so much for being part of this journey with us!

Based on the reviews, it seems some cats were a bit too hard to spot because they were too small Very sorry about that We just rolled out an update, adjusting 11 tiny cats to make them easier to find! Hope this update helps everyone enjoy the game even more! The latest version is 1.0.0.3. If you still find any cats that feel impossible to spot without hints, feel free to drop a comment here!

To celebrate Toge Productions 16th Anniversary, were super excited to announce a special collaboration:

Cats and Seek: Toge Land!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3145350/Cats_and_Seek_Toge_Land In this edition, youll get to explore Toge Land, find hidden cats, and enjoy the company of some familiar characters from Toge Productionss games. Its a special little crossover just for you!
We cant thank Sarah Johana and the entire Toge team enough for giving us the chance to create this special edition. Its been such a fun and unique project, and we really hope this serves as an awesome birthday gift for Toge Production and the fans. When Sajo first reached out to collaborate, I couldnt help but think this might be a sneaky way to jump the queue for the cat name submissions in Cats and Seek series hahaha. But seriously, Sajo has been supporting Cats and Seek from day one, and were beyond grateful for that. This collaboration was such a refreshing change of pace for us. Between working on the Cats and Seek series, drawing Toges iconic characters was a blast. And it wasnt just Sajo... Toge Productions whole team has been incredibly supportive. The music team even contributed their tracks to the game! How cool is that!

Happy 16th Anniversary, Toge Productions! Wishing you all the best as you continue creating amazing games for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you again to everyone whos been a part of this collaboration! Cheers! UB & Estu ---- PS : We hope you all enjoy playing Cats and Seek: Toge Land as much as we enjoyed making it. And if you finish it and still need more cats... no worries, there are hundreds more hidden in other Cats and Seek games waiting for you to find! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925320/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2845320/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2672090/ https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/39173/Noobzillas_Hidden_Cats/
