Ever played a detective game where the lead investigator is a cat? Mikeneko Holmes no Kishidou is exactly that—a quirky little Game Boy title where you solve mysteries as a feline sleuth. The pixel art is charming, and the cases start simple (missing fish, suspicious yarn thefts) before ramping up. Controls are basic point-and-click, but there’s something oddly satisfying about pawing through clues with a cat’s perspective.
Fair warning: it’s Japan-only, so unless you’re fluent, you’ll be relying on trial-and-error or guides. Still, the animations alone—Holmes stretching mid-investigation or batting at evidence—make it worth a look for retro weirdness fans. You can find it floating around on emulators if you’re curious.
