Cat in Japan - Walkthrough, Tips, Review (2025)

Aww, I really love Bart Bonte's games, their style and music, they always make me giggle... :D
I came across this one some time ago, so when I saw the request for a walkthrough, I just decided to replay it and give it a try, sooo:

Ok, very first time trying to scribble a walkthrough really quickly (Wow, this takes longer than I thought, so big thanks to all those walkthrough writers and reviewers for doing this stuff! :D) .
Please pardon me if anything sounds awkward (I'm not a native English speaker ^^), but feel free to add stuff if I missed something *blush* :)

This is the code for the cupboard under the flowers.

Take out the cheese and another doll's head from the cupboard as well.

Put the gong on the strings hanging from the arc outside.
Use the mallet(?) to hit the gong.
Take the green clover from under the gong.

Move back to the sofa screen.

Put the cheese in front of the mouse hole.

Go back to the wardrobe screen.

Note the patterns on each of the three kimonos.

On the one on the right, there's a sequence of dice

(3, 5, 1, 2, 4, 6).


On the upper drawer on the left of the wardrobe, there are six squares that turn orange when you click them.

Click them according to the dice sequence

(the third from the left, the fifth, the first, the second, the fourth, the sixth).

Take the third doll's head from the open drawer.

Now click the umbrella to see a symbol behind it. Those three kimonos are covering symbols as well, so click them to move them a little in order to see three more symbols

(the whole sequence should finally result in 4 circles with openings on different sides: open on the left, upper left, lower right and right).

Use this code for the upper panel of the left side of the wardrobe

(left, upper left, lower right, right).

Take out a fourth doll's head and
- sushi

On the kimono in the middle, there's a sequence of lefts and rights

( L R LL RR L R ).

Move over to the bath tub screen and click on the white maneki neko cat on the right.

Use the buttons to put in the sequence from the kimono

( L R LL RR L R ).

Its pendant opens and reveals a clover-shaped mould.

Put your green clover into the mould and a panel on the lower part of the socket slides open.

Return to the sofa screen.

-sushi in front of the mousehole

(in exchange for the cheese ^_^ you needed to put the cheese and leave the screen, then return)

Note the round window with the three cat figurines

(blue = upper right corner, orange = on the left/middle row, green = bottom/in the middle).

On the bathtub screen,

use the code for the panel below the white maneki neko
