An easy-going puzzle game perfect for unwinding.

The game introduces you with a simple story that's entirely for flavour. The main gameplay is swap tile puzzles for each sign of the zodiac. There are two difficulty levels, where the difference is the size/number of tiles.

The puzzles are all well designed. There's lots of reoccurring motifs and patterns that assist you – even the weathering on the paper can guide you to the right place! The artwork itself is pretty to look at as well, with a variety of different cats on each one. After completing a puzzle, you get some information about cats of that zodiac, which I found sweet. There's also a light and dark mode for the puzzles, which I felt was a nice touch.

There's also a 'fortune telling' mechanic, where you can select a zodiac. I selected mine and it told me what type of cat I should adopt. The main purpose of the game is this: encouraging people to adopt cats, which I find sweet.

I did find there was very little depth to the game outside of that. It would've been nice if the hard puzzles had a bit more variation. And, as much as I enjoyed the music, I would've liked different songs for each puzzle as it grew repetitive over time.

I found it was best played using the touch screen of my steam deck, where I could simply tap tiles to swap them. I had no issues with the controls or navigating the menu.

A sweet game, good for relaxing with no stress, pressure or time limits.
