There are cozy games, there are hidden object games, and then there are games that combine both with an army of mischievous cats. Secret Paws – Cozy Apartments has arrived on Xbox, PC and Switch, inviting players to search every corner of a collection of charming isometric homes in pursuit of dozens of cleverly concealed felines.
Already earning a 3.5/5 review score from us, this latest release from Eastasiasoft and Sagitta Studios offers a relaxing puzzle experience built around observation, patience, and an appreciation for cats squeezing themselves into places they probably shouldn’t fit.

Every Apartment Hides A Secret
The premise is delightfully simple. Players explore a series of colourful apartment spaces, rotating rooms to uncover hidden cats tucked away amongst furniture, decorations, and household clutter.
Each apartment presents a fresh challenge, with increasing complexity as new rooms unlock. Bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms and bathrooms are all packed with feline residents waiting to be discovered.
The ability to rotate each isometric environment helps reveal obscured areas and hidden corners, ensuring that success relies on careful observation rather than random clicking.
We’ve already spent some time with Secret Paws – Cozy Apartments and came away pleasantly surprised by what it offered, awarding the game a 3.5/5 review score.
While the cat-finding formula provides plenty of entertainment on its own, we felt there was room for the concept to evolve even further. As we noted in our review: “Once the rooms start telling their own stories, Unpacking-style, then I think Secret Paws – Cozy Apartments could be something very good indeed.“
That combination of cosy visuals, environmental details and simple puzzle-solving helps give the game a little more personality than many budget hidden object releases.
