Cats run the crime scene in this comedy-noir adventure, played in a style the developers call point-and-lick. You are Cuddles Nutterbutter, a cat private investigator working in Meow Meow Furrington, a city of cats with a serious crime problem. With your assistant, you take a last-minute case from the Chief of Police: a murder that could upset the balance between two rival crime families, the Catulets and the Montameeuws.
You explore varied locations, meet eccentric characters and solve puzzles, with plenty of cat puns along the way. It is a single-player game suited to adventure fans who enjoy light-hearted, pun-heavy humor and a noir setting played for laughs.
