What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Where Ghost Cats (Lenovo Legion Go)

April 5th, 2025

I had to work late last night, which is my favorite thing to do ahead of a long weekend, so I buried myself in casual games after a late dinner. I had it in my head that I could clear 100 games in 100 days, which is certainly true if I mostly play hidden cat freebie games on Steam. It would be satisfying, if not a bit silly.

That being said, last night I did play an extremely charming hidden cat game, Where Ghost Cats. The title is a little funky because it's a mostly unlocalized Chinese game, but that doesn't bother me at all. Finding cats is universal. This one had really cute art and a couple of side tasks, so though it was still super short, I enjoyed it. This one wasn't a freebie, but I got it in a bundle with quite a few other hidden animal games from the same developer. I'm looking forward to playing the others!

On a less cute note, I also tried Pretty Girls 2048 Strike, which I picked up in a different bundle after becoming fascinated by the idea of accompanying extremely casual, old fashioned games with PG-13 anime pinup girls. I don't really like the art here, and want to know why my military girls are fighting vaguely fantasy themed girls in such a calm and orderly way. 2048 makes for a really solid battle system, though, and I'm enjoying the balance between merging existing blocks and trying to get in position to deal damage. This is totally ridiculous, but I'm having a good time with it.
