“캣 인 더 박스는 조사와 대화, 그리고 생존으로 대표되는 공포 쯔꾸르 게임의 전형적이면서도 모범적인 모습을 아주 잘 보여주고 있다. (...) 게임을 구성하는 모든 요소들이 균형있게 잘 갖춰져있고, 특유의 완급 조절을 통한 긴장감의 유지도 좋아 약간의 두근거림과 함께 자연스레 게임에 몰입하게 된다.”

“スーパーファミコン時代のレトロゲームを彷彿とさせる、2D見下ろし型視点のグラフィックが特徴的で、さらに画面全体にかかるブラウン管テレビのようなエフェクトが独特の不気味な雰囲気を作り上げています。（…）どこか物悲しげで静かに恐怖をあおる雰囲気たっぷりのBGMや、ドアを開ける音や床に響く足音などリアリティのある効果音の数々と、ハイクオリティなサウンドでホラーの世界への没入度を高めてくれます。”
アキバ総研

“With a typical slasher film start, with a plot twist that has around some elements of foreshadowing, at times even incredible, together with a well thought out and balanced gameplay, also never left to approximation because “eh, it’s Horror RPG anyway” and an almost western aesthetic, for us Cat In The Box will remain for a long time an important point of reference and comparison.”
