What you do in a play session
Imagine you're at a massive fair, surrounded by hundreds of people who, just like you, are absolutely obsessed with cats. The atmosphere is festive, filled with purring and cuteness. But suddenly, chaos strikes: amidst the excitement of the event, the biggest mess possible occurs, and all the kitties get lost from their owners! Now, the fair has turned into a giant feline puzzle, and that's where you step in as a 'purr-tective'.
In Investigato, your goal is simple yet challenging: use logic and observation to sort through the confusion and figure out which cat belongs to which person. It's not about luck, but about connecting clues correctly and eliminating impossible possibilities. It's the kind of game that exercises your brain while you enjoy an adorable theme, making it perfect for those who want a quick mental challenge without having to read a hundred-page rulebook.
The game serves as an excellent entry point for deduction mechanics, making it ideal for introducing this concept to children or adults looking for a light pastime.

If you enjoy logic games, love solving mysteries, and, of course, are a cat lover, Investigato delivers exactly that mix of logical reasoning with a generous dose of animal charisma. Get your magnifying glass ready, observe each kitty's characteristics carefully, and help these desperate owners reunite with their furry best friends!
