Our take on Inspector Waffles
The focus on a contained detective narrative gives up the variety of action-driven play. Progress depends on examining evidence and questioning characters, so the experience is built around following a mystery rather than switching between broad gameplay systems.
What is Inspector Waffles?
Inspector Waffles is a detective adventure set in Cat Town, where a prominent industrialist’s murder creates new fears among the citizens.
Players guide the feline inspector through the city, search for concealed evidence, question suspicious characters, and piece together the case.

Its presentation combines a cast of anthropomorphic animals with pixel-art environments, dry humor, and cat- and dog-related wordplay. A jazzy soundtrack accompanies the investigation.
