A game about our four-legged furry friends
“Scott Whiskers in: the Search for Mr. Fumbleclaw” is a game about cats and lots of other furry friends.
Furry friends like Buddy, the faithful German shepherd with a rather unhealthy fixation on fine-grained cat litter.
Or furry friends like Steve, the rat. Steve is not to be trifled with – after all, he provides security at the sales stall of the dodgy yet likable crook Bob.
Or furry friends like the hamster Mr. Snuggels, who, if things go badly, could face a fate as a movie monster on the big screen.
Or furry friends like the nameless, extremely dangerous – and certainly deadly – Chihuahua that guards the Longbottom family estate. It is up to you to survive this encounter safely.
And last but not least, we have Mr. Fumbleclaw himself, the award-winning, perennial champion of the legendary feline beauty contest “Ricky’s Finest”, who has inexplicably vanished from the face of the earth. Your mission? Find the cat – save the day!
A game about people
“Scott Whiskers in: the Search for Mr. Fumbleclaw” is a game about people.
People like Mary, the lonely soul, Scott’s boss, and the caring director of the city’s animal shelter. Help Mary find love – and the bad boy of her dreams!
People like little Susie, Lord Longbottom’s daughter. Susie may be a little crazy, but she is hell-bent on making the perfect monster movie. And she is now looking for a way to turn her hamster Mr. Snuggles into a vicious movie monster! Will you help Susie fulfill her dream – or will you stand by poor Mr. Snuggles? It’s up to you!
People like chain-smoking pet groomer Ricky, host of the legendary feline beauty contest “Ricky’s Finest”. And the keeper of a hairy and immensely profitable secret.
Or people like Alfredo, inventor of a sensational vegan cheese pizza topped with ceiling mushrooms. Never heard of ceiling mushrooms? Alfredo will explain it to you!
Or people like the almost forgotten old-school movie star Vlad Popescu. Help the once so celebrated Dracula actor overcome his depression and make his return to the big screen.
You see – there is a lot to do!

Wow, i was really struggling if i should give thumbs up or down...the the story is simple, but cute (and i found it a bit boring to be honest). Most of the puzzles are OK. The dubbing is OK as well...lots of references to other games, monkey island, star trek etc, i think it was the case where less would have been more.
I had two major problems that prevented me from fully enjoying the game:
1) endless dialogues. Like literally endless. Yes, you can click them through the accelerate, but they are still terribly long and don't add that much to the story to make them worth listening to. Especially considering how many of them are repetitive.
2) the graphics. The graphics style is OKish, but what annoyed me is the cheap solution for every slightly more complicated animation - the screen goes black and we just see the subtitles and hear the dialogue/sounds. This trick was used very well in many of the games in the 90s, but it was used smartly. Here it is trying to hide the limitation of the game engine - the game feels that it was done with minimal coding and with just some tool that allows you to click together some basic game with basic animations. It felt REALLY cheap.
I finished the game more like because i already invested a few hours into it rather then because i enjoyed it.
Overall - I still recommend the game, because the main character is likeable and the story of rescuing a cat is worth the efforts, but the game could easily be so much better...

(I played the game through another (DRM-free) platform but wanted to leave a review here as well).
A few technical hiccups on steam deck aside, this is a great game and I'm really looking forward to the the predecessor.
Big thanks to the team for not letting point and click games die :)

I grew up in the era of floppy disks, and remember using them to install various LucasArts and Sierra games. This game's creator seems to have done so as well. Gets a bit "bash the fourth wall down" at times, but I find that to be a bonus? Overall I had fun, even though I did need some help figuring out certain puzzles. Apparently there's a sequel planned as well.

A fun time-water. Puzzles are fairly simple, which is a refreshing change. English translation was often inaccurate and, therefore distracting (but that's and issue find with most translated games).
A nice, innocent game, with some room for improvement. Overall, recommended.
