After completing Jedi: Survivor, I felt like I needed a cozy game to play next. I searched through my library on Steam and saw I had purchased Zodiacats a few months ago. I didn’t know much about the game except that it has cats, it’s a puzzle game, and that’s about it. Zodiacats is the perfect cozy, puzzle, cat game that I needed.

Zodiacats is a puzzle game in which the goal is to solve puzzles to reveal pictures of the astrological signs. Each sign has its own image, and each image features a cat on it. The puzzles are a sliding square type puzzle to reveal the picture once the blocks are in the right spot. Once each zodiac is revealed, two other puzzles become available for players to complete.

I loved Zodiacats, but let’s be real, I’m a bit biased. I love any game that features cats, so this game would have had to have been really bad for me not to like it. It was the perfect game for me to play after a long day at work. I would usually have Critical Role or What We Do in the Shadows on as background noise while I played through this game. The hard mode is actually difficult. There are a few puzzles I have yet to complete because I can’t figure out why the puzzle isn’t unlocking. I did read some of the comments from other gamers, and they mentioned the possibility of a bug. I don’t know if that’s the case for me. Some of the flowers on the puzzles are difficult to differentiate at times, so it could be that I have a few of the blocks in the wrong spot.

Zodiacats is a cute zodiac puzzle game. It’s a cozy game that I think is perfect if you need a break from a game that’s a bit more time-consuming. I didn’t realize, but Zodiacats is designed by the same company that made A Building Full of Cats and Sudocats, which are both games I played on my Switch. I’ll be on the lookout for any future games they make.
