Evaluation

Cat Detective Albert Wilde launched on January 24, 2025 as a complete 6–7 hour noir detective adventure. The developer, beyondthosehills, is a small indie team from Greece who spent over two years bringing the game from demo to full release. After launch, they shipped several patches addressing combat difficulty, Steam Deck compatibility, and bug fixes — indicating active post-launch support. The most notable recent development is a November 7, 2025 post in which the developer created an official Steam developer page and explicitly teased: "News about Cat Detective Albert Wilde and our new upcoming games are coming soon." This is a direct signal from the developer that something more is planned for the game, though no specific DLC or update has been named yet. The store description and the game itself present it as a self-contained story experience, but the developer's own words indicate they have not closed the door on further content. There are no unreleased DLC listings on the store, and the game has no live-service or seasonal content structure. The developer's teaser is the primary reason to expect further announcements.

About this game

Cat Detective Albert Wilde is a 1930s noir-inspired detective game with humanoid animal characters.

How does Albert Wilde solve the strangest quantum mystery in a murder case?

Find out in this 6-7 hours silly and hilarious classic detective adventure tribute to the golden age of noir movies

Use your years of experience of interrogating and drinking at bars to chat with locals to solve a mystery. Rely on your cat-charisma to find the truth.

Meet a cast of 27 interesting characters like a pole-dancing flamingo, a piggy lawyer, a pissed-off moose bookie, an out-of-tune sheep singer, a FAMOUS SCIENTIST and the dangerous crocodile gang.

Albert Wilde is down on his luck. He’s broke, he’s friendless, he can’t get a girl, and his landlord won’t let him pee on the office wall anymore.

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.
