About the Game

It’s October in Mew York City, and the Halloween craze has taken over as cats adorn themselves in brilliant costumes and attend nightly parties. While citizens celebrate their beloved holiday, the Mew York Police Department struggles with the resurgence of a daunting figure from the past. Six years ago, the MYPD struggled with a string of serial murders that ultimately went unsolved to this day.

Now, a murder following a similar M.O. prompts the MYPD to call in world-class feline Detective Milo to catch the culprit and put an end to these killings. Set in the 20th century, you will play the charming British investigator to solve cases alongside Saige, MYPD’s best detective.

Each suspect is as unique as one's own paw! Comb through case files, analyze autopsy reports, compare suspects' features to witness testimonies, and conduct interrogations to detain the guilty suspects. Each verdict you make determines the safety of MYC’s feline citizens and the fate of their precious holiday. Can you reach all three endings?

Along with investigating these murders, partake in visual novel-style conversations with Detective Saige and MYPD’s Captain Ozzy, learning more about your past, and the dark mysteries behind the rampant crime wave that continues to disturb MYC’s holiday spirit.
