Cat’s Request

What a pretty game! Among the three games released so far by BOV, this one is my favorite.
Set in a futuristic cyberworld inhabited by anthropomorphic characters and androids, we play as Ash, a technician working with AI and robots, accompanied by his virtual assistant sidekick, Root, who can hack into and explore other people’s consciousness.
When AI without humanoid bodies are scheduled for disposal, Ash begins searching for a body for Root. But when he discovers the manager of the robot shop unconscious, he uncovers a conspiracy that seems to affect the entire city...
Gameplay is very similar to the devs previous games and is a mix of exploration, puzzle-solving, and character interaction. We also have the possibility to switch between Ash and Root in order to progress the story.
Exploring the game charming cyberworld and solving its puzzles was quite fun. I definitely recommend!

This is a pretty cool game. The previous one was clearly inspired by Goetia (one of my all time favorite games), this one seems to be somewhat inspired by Lacuna (another great one), although I could be wrong (but it definitely has some similar vibes). In any case, as puzzle games go, this one is very much on the easy side. Achievements are also pretty easy. No voice acting, but the art is amazing, it really stands out. The story is imaginative, and very creative. Also, it doesn't overstay its welcome: for what it is, I think the playtime was just right. I can totally recommend this game, I think both this one and its predecessor are great little p&c games (I didn't like the first one from this team as much, but they are clearly getting better and better, so I will be eagerly waiting for their next installment).

Short (2,5h) cyberpunk adventure game about an alien cat trying to buy a body for his AI assistant and getting involved in a mystery.
Has manual saves, achievements are unlocked in bulk only upon existing the game.

Good short fun
Summary ; TLDR
Best out of the three. Solid improvement from game mechanics to visual and audio design. Although a bit shorter (rough >2.5hr) playthrough I thought it helped the story not be too complex and dragged out. A stellar piece and a high recommendation.
Game play
Honestly a lot better than it's predecessor 'Detective from the Crypt'. The controls feel tight as well as the game mechanics. The game has fluid dialogue and progression and every movement, item and conversation has meaning.
I liked the mechanic of going into people's subconcious and how it tied in later on. The only thing that could have been more clear was the "hacking" ability. I didn't realise you could do it till the end of the game and pressing it doesn't feel satisfying. Having a little mini game e.g. interaction quick time event or just a sequence of buttons to press could have made it all the more fulfilling.
The UI for the inventory is still disgusting but it seems to be their MO. I just wish it wasn't a large system console looking thing. As well as, when you can finally move around easier, it would be nice to have actual names rather than ambiguous pictures or more clear pictures.
Graphics
I really love the design this time around. It's so different. The character and world design had me interested and looking around constantly. I really wish there was more discover. It really sets it apart from the last two games.
Story
Story was more clear and better translated. It had a nice flow where I could keep up with what was happening and it helped me progress. I still feel, the end decision is ambigous as well as too easy?
Music & Sound
Some really awesome sound design in this game. Nothing felt too much and helped amplify the sci-fi atmosphere. Really had me wishing there was more.
Thoughts
Has to be my favourite out of the other two games BOV have developed. I really felt solid progress in terms of quality of life as well as overall design. Although I wish there was more to explore, I do love how this one was short. They didn't drag the story on and felt like a really fun 2hr playthrough where i was engrossed in the world and what was happening.
The achievements this time around were also better. There's not an overwhelming amount but they're still a bit superfluous.

It's a nice detective game. I like how the plot unravels as you progress. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who likes cats and detective themed games.

A cute and fun little game.
