How it feels

A slow, story-rich walking simulator with film-noir aesthetics and dry comedic undertones, letting you explore a sci-fi world as a cat detective.

What players say

Players praise the witty writing and story, but note it plays as a walking simulator visual novel with clunky controls, repetitive music, and a permanent film noir filter that some find distracting. The voice acting sounds AI-generated to some, and grammar errors appear.
