About Hidden Cats vs Zombies
Hidden Cats vs Zombies is an indie hidden object game from Sons of Welder, released on November 7, 2025. It runs on PC and Linux. The premise is delightfully absurd: you hunt cats hiding in scenes while also fending off zombies. The game’s charm comes from its slapstick humor and goofy visuals. Think of it as a lighthearted scavenger hunt with a side of undead chaos. It’s not deep, but it’s fast-paced and weird, perfect for players who enjoy quick, quirky puzzles.
Gameplay
Each level drops you into a scene, like a city street or forest, where you scan for camouflaged cats using a highlighter tool. Once found, you switch to zombie mode, using items like slingshots or dynamite to dispatch them. Time limits push you to multitask: spot cats before they vanish and kill zombies before they overrun the screen. Controls are simple, relying on mouse clicks and drag-to-search. The loop of finding and fighting repeats across 50+ stages, with later levels adding distractions like moving zombies and time-shifting backgrounds. It’s repetitive but satisfying, especially when you spot a cat hiding in plain sight.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 7.2/10. 65% finish the game, with an average playtime of 7.5 hours. Community moods are 55% fun, 35% frustrating. Critics on Metacritic give it 68/100, calling it “a goofy diversion but nothing more.” Players praise the art style and humor but note the formula wears thin. One review says, “The cats are clever, but the zombie battles feel tacked on.” 40% of players own all 55 achievements, with the hardest being “Find the Cat in the Mirror.”
PlayPile's Take
At $14.99, it’s a low-risk buy for hidden object fans or those wanting a silly time-killer. The 55 achievements add light replay value, but don’t expect depth. It’s best played in short bursts, think 15-minute sessions. If you’ve ever wanted to save cats from zombies while laughing at their silly animations, give it a try. For anyone seeking substance or challenge, pass.
