Q & A

Is the game a combination of different genres?

Yes, it’s hard to define Cat Detective Albert Wilde by a single genre, as we tend to blend multiple elements in our projects. This game is a fusion of comedy, film noir, detective mystery, science fiction, and narrative. 

Can you describe the genre from a technical perspective?

From a technical perspective, you could describe it as something between a walking simulator and an interactive novel, with a strong emphasis on comedy. 

Is this game a kind of ‘whodunnit’ murder mystery game? 

It’s less of a typical "whodunnit" and more of an origin story—showing how Albert Wilde evolves from a Private Investigator (P.I.) to a Quantum Private Investigator.
