What players say

Players describe it as a charming point-and-click detective story with cat and dog humor. Reviews praise the fair puzzles and writing, though some find the cat/dog jokes overused and pixel hunting frustrating. The game runs about 5-6 hours, and a few note slow screen transitions between areas.
