Note written 2026-09-02; the live figures above take precedence over any numbers in it.

A cozy animal-themed murder mystery puzzle game with heavy wordplay and narrative deduction, launching in early 2026.

Feline Forensics occupies a narrow but real niche: character-driven mystery puzzlers with strong art direction and humor, comparable to Obra Dinn and Golden Idol. The title is generating solid residual monthly income from a small but highly engaged player base (94% positive, 36% still active), with zero promotional discount spend in 12 months. For an indie-focused publisher or revival label, this represents a quiet earner with room to grow through modest localization, community engagement and platform expansion, though the ultra-niche appeal and single-studio portfolio limit upside. Most realistic play: publishing.

• Risk: Puzzle mystery genre is saturated and heavily reliant on word-of-mouth; peak concurrent players in range of single digits suggests fragility in organic reach.
• Risk: Recent launch (1.4 months since build) means stability and long-term retention unknown; early adopters may have front-loaded enthusiasm.
• Risk: Solo developer studio with one title limits bandwidth for updates, DLC or cross-platform ports without external publishing support.
