Murder. Nothin’ nice about it. In this old school detective adventure, step into the boots of whip-smart Inspector Waffles and travel the city to track hidden clues, interrogate shady suspects, and unravel a dangerous mystery. But be warned: curiosity killed the cat...
It’s hard to get the memory of that case out my head... I can’t even think about what my old partner went through without getting a bad taste in my mouth. I guess that’s why I’m sittin' here drinking yet another glass of cold, hard milk.
Inspector Waffles was hoping his worst days were behind him, but the murder of a high-profile industrialist CEO beloved by the citizens of Cat Town raises new questions and fears.
Being the best inspector on the CTPD, Waffles has no choice: he's gotta push past the painful memories, don his well-worn overcoat, and prepare to get his paws dirty.
A detective story reminiscent of the old school classics, Inspector Waffles provides plenty of peculiar mystery, a story full of intrigue, and a slew of characters to interrogate, all wrapped into beautifully simple pixel-art. Will you be able to sniff out every clue and nab the murderer?
A REAL TREAT, SEE?
A brilliant feline detective in a world full of anthropomorphic cats, dogs, and maybe other species. It’s pixel-animal madness, I tell ya.
A beautiful jazzy soundtrack, full of notes and music and harmony pleasing to your ears and brain.
Chock full of dry humor and puns about cats and dogs. Seriously, I couldn’t think of any more puns to include. The pun supply is exhausted.

Surprisingly good and well-polished, with mostly intuitive and rewarding puzzles. And a very chill soundtrack. True score is probably 4/5 but it's worth giving it an extra star for being an outstanding indie game by a not-well-known developer.
A pretty fun, snarly but also a little dark classic Point 'n Click story set in a Cats & Dogs world with a mix of Watercolor-painting intermissions and chunky PixelArt gameplay. There are 2 endings, with the 'good' ending having a few extra 'cool' scenes storywise... that begs for a sequel !!!
The puzzles are pretty simple, the dialogue pretty entertaining, it has well-done stereotyped characters with some that seriously surprise and some that bluntly don't. There's also a lot of (pop) cultural references ranging from classical literature to cartoons and everything in between.
As said before, the world-building and story-arc are done surprisingly well. It starts over the top, but becomes more mature half-way through, before it quickly wraps things up in the end.
If anything the simplicity and limited scope of the game are both it's strong-point as well as it weakness, It's a bit short and the story wrap up could use a bit more meat to the body, but at the same time the game 'respects your time'. I would love a second 'investigation' follow up game that strengthens the world and characters.
The hint system cleverly integrated into the gameworld and story-recap following your actual gameplay decision is a touch, more games should do that; even the original 90s Fallout had that already.
A tiny downside is the lack of voice-acting, so I would rate it about a 4.5.
