A Building Full of CatsvsLife is Strange
Neither is simply harder - they are hard in different places. A Building Full of Cats demands more variance; Life is Strange demands more optimization.
A Building Full of Cats
Variance · Systems & Chaos
A hidden-object hunt that tests visual search until every cat location is known.
Life is Strange
Optimization · Systems & Chaos
A teenage drama built around rewinding decisions to map which choices actually alter the scripted outcome.
A Building Full of Cats leans Variance (Systems & Chaos); Life is Strange leans Optimization (Systems & Chaos).

Execution1 vs 1
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Life is Strange
Rewind obscures which choices are truly consequential

A Building Full of Cats
Systematic screen-scanning is the only strategy layer
Life is Strange
Understanding consequence chains enables deliberate dialogue path planning
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
