Cat Me If You Can is an upcoming time-travel puzzle game where players photograph hidden furballs to restore color to a monochrome world. Set for a summer 2026 release on PC, Switch, and Xbox Series X|S, the handcrafted adventure combines exploration with environmental deduction.
The upcoming puzzle adventure Cat Me If You Can asks players to restore color to a frozen Earth by doing what the internet does best: taking pictures of cats. Revealed via a new gameplay trailer featured on IGN South Africa, the title drops players into a striking, handcrafted black-and-white world where a mysterious cataclysm left behind only furballs and frozen environments. Photographing these hidden cats brings vibrant color rushing back into the scenes as you progress through the adventure.
Gameplay revolves around time travel, environmental puzzles, and acute observation. Players will hop across different historical eras and locations, decoding clues to track down elusive targets like the regal King Purr-a-lot. It leans into a relaxed, detail-oriented gameplay loop that should appeal to fans of hidden object games and atmospheric puzzle titles alike, providing a distinct aesthetic choice that stands out from the usual colorful clutter of modern releases.
Developer plans currently point to a summer 2026 launch window, with confirmed releases spanning PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X|S. It shapes up to be a cozy, low-stress title well-suited for handheld play on the Switch or a relaxing evening session on the couch.
