I really enjoyed Shy Cats Hidden Orchestra. It is a unique addition to all the hidden cat games coming out lately. It is of medium difficulty, so suitable for both young and old. If you like music and listening to different types of styles, this is right up your alley!
You own a cat orchestra playing multiple instruments, but they are very shy musicians and hide in a variety of environments. Once you have found an individual, they start playing their instrument. The more you find, the more the tempo picks up. I really enjoyed muting some musicians to give the more unusual instruments ear space. Most instruments were culturally connected to a particular environment e.g. the Andes environment had a South American tempo; the desert had a Middle Eastern flavour; a castle had a spooky theme etc. I really found many of the tunes to be foot tapping whilst I'm searching for the missing players.
Each level has a box with a key which gives a hint where a secret cat may be hiding. Some of the clues were obscure. A heads up for those who are deaf; one answer requires the cats playing the lowest tones. If you know your instruments, you could fluke it. Also for those who are colourblind, one answer requires choosing cats in a particular colour. There are a couple of good guides online if you need help over those hurdles.
The picture zooms in, but even so, some of the cats were tiny. Some were hiding behind clouds or were transparent. So a warning for older players with not so good eyesight. I had to use my magnifying glass a few times being on a laptop. I also agree with another reviewer that a hint system in the next game would be good.
My laptop also overheated whilst playing this cute game and mine is a gaming rig.
But all in all, a delightful cute game about musician cats which gets your feet tapping and head bopping. The small cons can be easily fixed in the next game. Highly recommend for cat lovers, those looking for a casual game and musicians. 8.5/10
