Cat Detective: Albert Wilde

A freakish corpse… a pissed-off bookie… a wormhole to another reality… it's just another day in the office for Albert Wilde, feline private eye. Cat Detective Albert Wilde is a short (6-7 hour runtime) genre-bending adventure set in 1930's New York, featuring atmospheric visuals, neat minigames, and at least one joke about cat nipples (they have six!). Players must talk, walk, and puzzle their way through a murder mystery that's messier than a fresh hairball in this hilarious zoological tribute to the golden age of noir.

Use your years of experience interrogating and drinking at bars to chat with locals and solve a mystery. Rely on your cat-charisma to find the truth. Meet a cast of 27 interesting characters like a pole-dancing flamingo, a piggy lawyer, a pissed-off moose bookie, an out-of-tune sheep singer, a famous scientist, and the dangerous crocodile gang. Albert Wilde is down on his luck. He's broke, he's friendless, he can't get a girl, and his landlord won't let him pee on the office wall anymore.

  • Vintage visuals inspired by 1930's cinema: 4:3 aspect ratio, black and white colors, and a world of light and shadow
  • A genre-bending noirish sci-fi mystery written with the support of renowned narrative design company Talespinners.
  • Navigate surreal, hilarious conversations and explore New York in the dead of night.
  • Loveable anthropomorphic characters of all stripes, brought to life with collage animation and non-human "voice" acting.
  • A short, accessible adventure, 6 – 7 hours in length.
