Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery PC (Final)

Interrogate a “colorful” cast of suspects until they cough up hairballs… and the truth. Will you wrap up the case in time for an afternoon nap, and make injustice knead its last biscuit? When the phone rings in the Feline Forensics department, that can only mean one thing… It’s time to get your toe beans dirty. In this soft-boiled detective puzzler, assume the role of a crime-crushing noir tabby who’s all out of catnip, and utilize your wisest whisker to uncover the truth of this meowseum mystery at Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery. Famously known as the museum’s most valuable exhibit, the gemstone’s true worth is beyond kitten comprehension…. and now it’s missing! Rely on deductive reasoning skills to prove that there’s no such thing as a perfect crime.

Mismatched alibis and mistrusting motivations provide little explanation as to how this intricate heist devolved into a grizzly murder. No one is above a carnivorous suspicion, so converse with and cross-examine them all. A failed investigation could mean that terrible criminals walk free, and a once-thriving museum will finally bite the dust. The uniquely hand-drawn style of its many displays would be forced to auction. This is both a feature and a warning… actually, no pun is off-limits. Its honestly an excessive use of groan-worthy humor. Chuckle (or cringe) while enjoying the smooth jazz soundtrack composed of saxophones, plunger trumpets, and speakeasy pianos.

Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery is a cute game with a fun little mystery, if a bit fiddly. Sometimes it’s very tricky to properly examine pieces of evidence, even when you know what part is important, because you can’t quite get the “eye” symbol needed to officially record it to pop up. For a couple of pieces, you might even find yourself resorting to watching someone’s playthrough on YouTube to figure out exactly which angle to turn the evidence to so that the eye would appear, before realizing the game has a built-in system to handle that.

You may also struggle with some of the fill-in-the-blanks, especially when you have what seem like perfectly valid alternate solutions that aren’t recognized by Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery. However, the game does include a simple hint/auto-fill system that is easy to turn on and off (and doesn’t impact achievements), so you don’t have to get stuck when your brain doesn’t work quite the same way as the developer’s. The developer has also stated that they’re continuing to add alternate solutions, so who knows—maybe at some point the game will actually recognize yours! All in all, a decent way to spend a few hours.
