What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

A Castle Full of Cats (Switch)

October 18th, 2023

I sat down to finish A Castle Full of Cats last night, but the last room was only an item room, not a hidden object room, meaning I'd basically already finished. I did fight the final boss again, which ended up being worth it, with some cute extra details for having gotten through everything else. It was a little deflating, though. I'd definitely been ready to find some cats! It was a cute and fun little hidden object game overall, though, so it was fine.

I'm still set on clearing some of the games I have around, so I dug into a couple more short ones last night. One of them was Sonic Generations, which I'd picked up in a sale on the XBox store. It's really cute so far, and I felt like maybe it had some ridiculous speed even for a Sonic game. I only played the first four levels, though, so I don't have much opinion yet.

I played the first stage of Super Kiwi 64, too, and it was as dead on with the N64 vibes as Macbat had been, if not more. This'll be very short, I think, but I'm looking forward to playing more.

Last night, I cleared a couple more rooms of A Castle Full of Cats, in my quest to 100% it. I only have one room left, I think, so I should get it finished tonight, or at least in my next play session.

I was painfully tired for most of yesterday, so I ended up playing A Castle Full of Cats a lot. I beat the final boss before dinner, after maybe two hours of gameplay, but haven't cleared all the rooms yet. I'll go and do that over the next couple of nights.

I played another few levels of Kirby's Dream Land 3, too, clearing the first world.

Before bed, I also did this quick build Pokemon model kit of Eevee, for a boosted sense of accomplishment. It was overly easy, maybe, but so cute! Right now, it's on the bookshelf by my desk, dozing away. For barely any effort, this is one of my favorites I've done lately.

As far as clearing the games I've got goes, last night was counterproductive. I was chatting with one of my friends about game sales, and ended up downloading a couple of three dollar games for Switch, Super Kiwi 64 and A Castle Full of Cats. I actually started playing A Castle Full of Cats before I went to sleep. It's a hidden object game where cats are hidden around some lineart, with a cute Castlevania riff as the setup. What I played last night was pretty easy, but it was level one of a casual game, so that's no dealbreaker.

I also built another Pokemon model last night, with Reshiram being my latest victim. The pearl-ish plastic on this one looks really nice, and only the wings had the strange "why won't these pieces snap together?" feeling I've been having with these Pokemon kits overall. Zekrom is over on my shelf, so I'll get to that fairly soon, too.

Today probably won't be a big games day. I want to tidy up, finish some craft projects I started during the week, and figure out my meal planning for next week. I'm sure I'll play something, though! I feel a bit set on finishing some of the smaller games I have around, so I'll see how that goes.
