| A Building Full of Cats Remake | 2026-02-21 | Hello hoomans! We have some exciting news!! We are working on a remake of A Building Full of Cats. This was our very first hidden object game. It was made in low resolution and without some basic features like zoom. It was simple, chaotic, and made with a lot of love. Now we are rebuilding everything in high resolution. Every apartment is being carefully redrawn. Some areas are being reimagined. And yes, we are adding 20 extra cats per apartment. Because there are never enough cats! Do not worry. The original game is very special to us and it is not going anywhere. When you launch the game, you will be able to choose between the original vers |

Back in June 2022, we did not had the resources to make an original soundtrack, so we used stock music, carefully looking for the best feat on each floor. After the game's success, we hired a musician to make a new soundtrack. We've asked for a new ost with the same vibe on each floor, so don't expect any drastic changes. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2245640/A_Building_Full_of_Cats_Soundtrack/ This update will be free. And don't worry, you'll still be able to choose the current soundtrack in the options. |

We've released 4 games, a minigame, a comic book and a lot of aditional content for those games. Not to mention the other 4 games we are working on right now! That's a lot of work, so we need more paws to help us. https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/41043020/847000f11d17a78da8cc909892cb5a3e30e7e4cd.png This is Leo, Devcats' new intern.

| New Floor: Cat's Bunker | 2022-11-22 | Hi, humans! The new floor is here! We know that you can't add a floor to a building, so obviously that is not the case here. But the elevator mechanic had finally repaired the elevator panel! So now you have access to an area that was there all along, you just weren't able to reach to it: The Bunker, a place where the cats will be forever safe, no matter what. This is an extra floor and it's not connected to Fofiño's progress. The original game remains the same. This floor also has more cats (60+12) and 2 new achievements were added, so if you had the game on your "Perfect Games" list you'll need to finish this floor or the game will not appe |

Plus: this next update will be completely free! ːwinkycatː https://i.imgur.com/DyrCtNP.png Since we are currently working non-stop on A Castle Full of Cats to finish it in time for Halloween, we don't have a release date for this update yet.

Today is the most special day of all the year: International Cat Day! "It was created in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, to raise awareness for cats and learn about ways to help and protect them" -- and that's what we've been doing (and will continue to do) in all of our current and future games: showing you humans that cats are just as cute and loving as dogs and we cats need care, love and protection just like them. ːfofino2ː Now to the mews!

We wouldn't have come this far without you. ːfofino2ː By the way, we've made many people upset with the Steam's Worst Achievement (we were trying to raise awareness on how important it is to adopt a cat, but apparently we failed ːfofinoː).

It’s been 4 months since we launched our very first game as Devcats and we are very grateful for the players’ reaction. We’ve traced plans for Devcats in 2022 and we’d like to share them with you! ;) There’s one factor that’s really important to a game on Steam: wishlists. That’s why we’ve been revealing so many games in advance. We need to have as many wishlists as we possibly can by the day of each game launch, otherwise said game will be completely lost amidst all the other current releases. So, we polit |
