About the Game

100 Hidden ASCII Cats is a chill hidden-object game with a twist: every world is built out of pure text.

Drift through sprawling landscapes hand-crafted from letters, numbers and symbols, sweep your magnifying glass across the characters, and uncover 100 cats purring quietly in the noise. No timers, no pressure, just you, the glyphs, and the kittens.
