Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 15, 2026)

A cheap co-op dream horror game with a clever surveillance system, Lucid Cats is fun for 71 reviewers but thin on content; it scores 74.5.

👍 Strengths

Multiplayer appears in 40% of analyzed reviews and ranks 114th of 642. 71 reviews describe fun play, high replay value and great atmosphere. 38 like a surveillance system that teammates use to communicate, and 27 love the aesthetic and concept. Others say the environments capture the feel of a dream, and a few call it well worth its six dollar price. Story & World ranks 672nd of 1096.

👎 Where it falls short

Content Volume appears in 55% of analyzed reviews and ranks 1297th of 1351. 38 reviews say there is little content yet and repeated quota runs grow mind numbing. 32 describe small, repetitive maps with basic enemies, items and upgrades. 20 report bugs such as falling through the floor. Others call the map unreliable and the exit hard to find, and some say entities camp players with unfair luck. Gameplay ranks 1277th of 1396, and Tech & Support ranks 588th of 1399.
