Travellin Cats in Japan

Travellin Cats in Japan (formerly Cats Hidden in Japan) is a compact, self-contained hidden object game that launched on February 23, 2025. The store description describes a single-level experience with 100 cats to find, plus a handful of modes (Color Mode, Night Mode, a timer leaderboard, adjustable colors, etc.). It launched as a finished product. The developer, Patrick of Travellin Cats, operates as a prolific solo creator who releases separate standalone games rather than updating individual entries with new levels or expansions. His December 2024 year-in-review confirmed that planned 2025 content referred to entirely new standalone titles, not updates to this game. In February 2026, the developer posted about a forced rebrand from "Cats Hidden in Japan" to "Travellin Cats in Japan" due to a trademark dispute, explicitly noting that "everything else stays the same" — confirming no content changes accompanied the rename. On August 24, 2026, a small quality-of-life patch was released adding adjustable cursor sizes and fixing a handful of minor bugs. The patch notes mention these bugs "crept up during the development of the newly released Travellin Cats in USA," indicating the fixes were incidental maintenance rather than part of any planned content cycle for this title. This is consistent with the developer's pattern of occasional cross-series maintenance updates. The game launched complete and has no post-launch content additions beyond minor maintenance patches. The developer's broader series remains active with new standalone releases, but this title is a finished, self-contained experience.
