Indie studio beyondthosehills (Reky) have announced the release date for their wonderfully eccentric mystery adventure Cat Detective Albert Wilde, alongside a release date announcement trailer.

About the game
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.
Features:
- Vintage visuals inspired by 1930’s cinema: 4:3 aspect ratio, black and white colours, and a world of light and shadow
- A genre-bending noirish sci-fi mystery, written with the support from 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.
