Evaluation
Hidden Paws launched on March 22, 2018 as a finished casual hidden-object game featuring 12+ winter landscapes and over 120 cats to find. The developer — a sibling duo — subsequently released two free Christmas updates: the first on December 21, 2018 added 4 festive levels, and the second on December 24, 2025 added 2 more magical Christmas levels, bringing the total to 6 festive levels on top of the base game's 16. The December 2025 post frames these additions as a heartfelt thank-you to the community, noting "so that makes 6 Festive levels in total, in addition to the usual 16 levels of the base game" — language that reads as a complete, enumerated summary of the game's content rather than a preview of things to come. The store description reflects this complete content set, referencing both Christmas updates. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content, and no roadmap pointing to additional updates. The developer's other posts from 2018 were primarily about a separate sequel game (Hidden Paws Mystery) and a follow-up title (Summer Paws), not about ongoing content for this game. With no outstanding commitments and no signals pointing to further additions, the game's content is complete as of December 24, 2025.
Evidence
Developer added 2 more free Christmas levels, noting the total is now 6 festive levels plus the base game's 16 levels — framed as a thank-you gift to the community with no mention of further content planned.
First free Christmas update added 4 new Christmas-themed islands.

About this game
It's winter and cats are still outside. Cold and alone. Find them and bring them home.
Features 12+ charming winter landscapes with over 120 little cats to find.
Free Christmas Update adds 4 festive isles. Is there a cat in a gift box? And then another Christmas Update adds 2 more magical places.
Open cars and boxes, rummage through piles of wood, search the forests. Cats are well hidden but they meow when you get near so listen closely and you might just be able to find them all.
