- Cat Detective Albert Wilde is OUT NOW! - 24 January 2025
Cat Detective Albert Wilde is OUT NOW! 😊 Our eccentric Cat Detective, Albert Wilde, is finally here! This 6–7 hour playtime game is a fusion of comedy, film noir, detective mystery, science fiction, and narrative. From a technical perspective, you could describe it as something between a walking simulator and an interactive novel, with a strong emphasis on comedy. Our Journey with this Production: Over two years ago, we first presented a demo of the game, titled Albert Wilde: Quantum P.I.. We received an incredible amount of love and support from industry events, conferences, and competitions, where it was selected and showcased multiple times. Most importantly, we had the chance to watch people play the game live, enjoy it, and share wonderful feedback with us. These moments encouraged us to continue working on the game, expanding it a bit beyond what we originally envisioned. 😊 Rece…
- Release Date on 24th January 2025 - 14 January 2025
Cat Detective Albert Wilde's release date on Steam is January 24, 2025. We are excited to announce the release date for our eccentric mystery adventure Cat Detective Albert Wilde, alongside a release date announcement trailer. Cat Detective Albert Wilde is a comedy noir, sci - fi mystery game that blends elements of a walking simulator and interactive novel, with a strong focus on humor. About the game A freakish corpse… a pissed-off bookie… a wormhole to another reality… it’s just another day in the office for Albert Wilde, feline private eye. Cat Detective Albert Wilde is a short (6-7 hour runtime) genre-bending adventure set in 1930’s New York, featuring atmospheric visuals, neat minigames, and at least one joke about cat nipples (they have six!). Players must talk, walk and puzzle their way through a murder mystery that’s messier than a fresh hairball, in this hilarious zoological t…

- Rebranding | We are changing the title of the game - 14 August 2024
Hello everyone, We want to let you know that we are changing the name of our game from Albert Wilde: Quantum P.I. to Cat Detective Albert Wilde. We've discovered that many people searching for our game often used the words "cat" or "detective" instead of "Albert Wilde" or "Quantum P.I." After a lot of consideration, research, and testing at events, we decided to make the change and add "Cat Detective" to the title. While Albert Wilde: Quantum P.I. captures the vibe of the game, we realized it might be challenging for everyone to remember. By incorporating "Cat Detective," we make it easier for players to find our game using their own words, while still highlighting our protagonist's name, Albert Wilde. * All new assets, poster & trailer are coming soon... ; )
- Updated Demo - 28 June 2024
Hello everyone, We are very close to announcing the release date of the game. Stay tuned! We are still working on the final version. The game turned out to be bigger than we initially expected. In the meantime, we have updated the demo! What's New in the Demo: Increased graphic quality overall while keeping the old-school, low-quality vibes. Introduced save points. The demo has only three save points as it's a small part of the game. Bug fixes and improvements. Smaller Demo but Better! As we move towards the final phase of development and the release of the game, we decided to make the public demo smaller. After extensive testing and live presentations, we observed that players are happy with a smaller demo. So, we took the liberty to reduce the public demo slightly (not a lot) to have more exclusive content for special demonstrations. But no worries, the full game will be live very soo…

- Game Update - Putting the 'Quantum' in Quantum P.I. - 12 May 2022
Hey there, It's that time again when we drop by to let you know how things are going behind the scenes for Albert Wilde: Quantum P.I. ! Putting the 'Quantum' in Quantum P.I. We've been working on some of the more science-fiction elements of Albert Wilde recently, getting stuck in with all things multiversal and timey-wimey. Looking into concepts behind alternate reality theories and special and general relativity has been really interesting, but they're certainly not the easiest things to wrap your head around. Consistency and challenge are two important aspects that have to be considered when playing around with these aspects of the sci-fi genre, so lots of research and testing has been involved. Unsurprisingly, this hasn't been the fastest process for us but we're excited about how it's all coming together and can't wait for you to see how it all ties in with Albert Wilde: Quantum P.I…
