Cat Detective Albert Wilde (2025)
beyondthosehills
Cat Detective Albert Wilde is a comedy game, a genre-bending noirish sci-fi mystery set in a fictional version of New York in the 1930's featuring atmospheric black & white vintage visuals, and loveable anthropomorphic characters. Players must muddle their way through a murder mystery that's messier than a fresh hairball, with a captivating voice-over and at least one joke about cat nipples (they have six!).
About the story

Cat Detective Albert Wilde is a nice game for one day, but it is shrouded in cheaper visual, and the game deserves few upgrades.

I found that Cat Detective Albert Wilde is more of a playable film noir novel than a brain puzzler of a game. While the environment, story, characters and Albert’s inner monologue create a dark but humorous film noir experience. The music and lack of challenge I felt let it down. It was fun at first however I did find my attention slipping at times. As all I needed to do was simply click on the next place to go to on the map and talk to the next character. While the visuals are amazing, the game felt quite railroaded and simple. Perhaps I was expecting something more and am not used to flipping through a novel. Cat Detective Albert Wilde gets the Thumb Culture Silver Award.
