Finally picked this up yesterday with a handful of other indie games that have been sitting in my wishlist.
It's a pretty straightforward point-and-click, in the form of escape rooms/areas. You're plopped into a beautifully illustrated little area (front yard of a house, a cruise ship, a warm living room at Christmastime, etc.) and then you need to find clues, unlock boxes, enter codes, etc. To exit each area, you must find the four pieces of a little cat puzzle. Then the door lights up, you click it to go back to the main house, you click the next room, and off you go again. I wouldn't say it was terribly easy, as some of the clues were a bit tricky, but it wasn't frustrating or impossible by any means.
I do wish it had been a bit longer. There were only six areas, and the game took me ~1.5 hours (I was also in the middle of doing other things and fending off the 9 demanding cats I share my home with and their need for pets and snuggs). However, when I finished the last room and saw the credits, it opened up a bonus item in each room or something, so I can still go back to that.
Recommended for anyone who likes this sort of game and just wants a quick palate cleanser between longer ones. I only spent like $2.50 on it so I think it was worth at least what I paid.
