Players Like...

❤ Narrative and Storytelling

Players praise the clever, humorous writing that blends comedy and noir elements. The story follows feline private eye Cuddles Nutterbutter as he investigates the murder of a mob boss' son, with the potential for all-out gang war looming. Reviewers highlight the well-developed cast of characters and the high-quality voice acting that brings them to life. The extensive dialogue offers a large number of unique responses and interactions for players to discover as they explore the world of Meow Meow Furrington.

❤ Puzzle Gameplay

The traditional point-and-click adventure puzzles task players with examining their surroundings, collecting and combining inventory items, and using them to progress the story and uncover the mystery. Reviewers generally find the puzzles to be logical and well-designed, though a few note that some solutions are not immediately intuitive, requiring trial-and-error or consultation of guides. The ability to switch between "normal" and "story" difficulty modes caters to players who prefer more challenging puzzles versus those focused on the narrative. One distinctive mechanic is the option to "lick" objects, which can sometimes reveal additional information or elicit humorous reactions - an entertaining twist on the standard point-and-click formula.

❤ Exploration and Progression

The hand-drawn, cat-filled city of Meow Meow Furrington earns praise for its charming art style and attention to detail. Players freely explore the various locations, with some reviewers noting the initial areas can feel a bit sparse before the story opens up. Progression involves a balance of dialogue, puzzle solving, and traversing the map. While some felt the pacing could be slow due to the extensive dialogue, others appreciated the game's willingness to let the story and characters develop. The inclusion of a jump map and quick travel options allow for efficient backtracking when needed, further enhancing the exploration and problem-solving experience.
