Cat Detective Albert Wilde

Honestly this game isn't that horrible but there are so many other animal detective games that I can't recommend this one over other titles like Chicken Police or Duck Detective. I also did not find the game's overly self-referential and crass sense of humor to be particularly funny, especially since the game mostly relies on its dialogue (and monologue) sequences to cover for the lack of any kind of interesting puzzles or anything else at all.

This game is definitely unique and one you'll either love or hate. The art style felt both cool and jarring at first, and can be a bit irritating for the eyes because of the filters that make it look like old black and white film footage (but you can probably remove the filters from the options, I just wanted to experience it the way it is). It's absolutely filled with dry humor and animal puns / gags, 4th wall breaking comments, and sassy banter and roasting between characters. The quests were fairly simple and straightforward, although trolling the player at times. The plot took some weird twists and turns that left me with no idea where it would eventually go, but I had a lot of fun. Some of the gags get a bit repetitive at times, but it fits the style. Relies very heavily on dialogue, so the exploration and puzzles played a smaller role, but it's a nice, relatively short game for when you aren't feeling the smartest or fastest and just want to enjoy an interactive story. Definitely worth experiencing! xD

i would recommend this game for it's story telling points ONLY, so if you want it, wait for it to be on sale. controls are a bit clunky. I don't love the first person camera angle, and it's really annoying that you can't turn off the filter that makes the ENTIRE game look like a film noir. it's incredibly distracting. so, i mean, yeah, fun story line, but a lot of play issues.

Simple game mostly relies on humor. If you don't like the humor you won't like the game at all but if you do on some level then its an enjoyable short game.

Enjoyed the game a lot! The humor had me laughing a ton. Really glad I stumbled upon this game. Such cat, much meow.

Allen voran: Die Story, das Storytelling sowie die graphische Aufbereitung des Spiels sind solide und machen durchaus Spaß. Das Film-Noir-Detective-Setting ist schön und atmosphärisch umgesetzt, die Texte/Dialoge gut geschrieben. Nun aber zur Kritik: Dem Spiel fehlen Gameplay-Elemente; über weite Teile besteht das Spiel nur aus dem beständigen Weiterklicken durch nicht-synchronisierte Dialoge. Das Spiel verfügt kaum oder nicht über Rätsel und fordert die Spieler:innen auch nicht heraus, da einem quasi ununterbrochen vorgebetet wird, was als nächstes zu tun ist. So wird das Spiel leider mehr zu einem interaktiven Film, mit beschränkten Interaktionsformen. Das finde ich schade, es gäbe sicher potential, allerdings ist es bisher zu linear, abwechslungslos und zu wenig herausfordernd.

Very funny game with a really enjoyable story and really enjoyable characters. The design of all the animal characters and the world around them is gorgeous! It's a bit buggy here and there with the dialogue and you can't choose when to save, however, I found that it hardly took away from the experience. The camera sensitivity, even all the way up, is ridiculously slow, but it's not like you'll be exploring a lot anyway as it's mainly just a visual novel with things you need to click on being highlighted. Absolutely loved this, recommend!

Manual saving might be nice rather then auto-saving at weirdly defined points. The twist on the case was really nice and they did a very nice wrap up to the game. Also the comedy was on point.

Excellent

I recommend this cat game.
