About the Game

When the phone rings in the Feline Forensics department, that can only mean one thing... it's time to get your toe beans dirty. In this soft-boiled detective puzzler, assume the role of a crime-crushing noir tabby who's all out of catnip, and utilize your wisest whisker to uncover the truth of this meowseum mystery.

Famously known as the museum's most valuable exhibit, the gemstone's true worth is beyond kitten comprehension.... and now its missing! Rely on deductive reasoning skills to prove that there's no such thing as a purrfect crime.

Mismatched alibis and mistrusting motivations provide little explanation as to how this intricate heist devolved into a grizzly murder. No one is above a carnivorous suspicion, so converse with, and cross-examine them all.

A failed investigation could mean that terrible criminals walk free, and a once-thriving museum will finally bite the dust. The uniquely hand-drawn style of its many displays would be forced to auction.

This is both a feature, and a warning... actually, no pun is off-limits. Its honestly an excessive use of groan-worthy humor. Chuckle (or cringe) while enjoying the smooth jazz soundtrack composed of saxophones, plunger trumpets, and speakeasy pianos.

Gameplay Features:

  • Assemble a conspiracy board to track all your leads (without red string, it would be too distracting)

  • Examine an array of crucial evidence (and swat off the table, probably)

  • Keep a binder to track every witness testimony (and make those suspects squeal)

  • Fill-in-the-blanks of your investigator's journal to crack the case (and dispense feline justice!)

  • Adjust text speed, turn on puzzle assistance, or use dyslexic-friendly fonts as needed

  • Silly interpretations of famous artwork (parody law please protect us)

  • And, of course, play as a cat detective (wearing a full suit and tie)
