Hot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore A Fedora
A short noir puzzler where your gun fires quest items, not bullets. Charming premise, wobbly mystery, over before its ideas fully land.
GamerScout Verdict
Worth a rainy afternoon if a quest-item revolver sounds fun, but don't come for the detective work.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Hot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore A Fedora
The revolver is the whole pitch: instead of bullets it fires swappable quest items, and every lock in this 2.5D noir city is really a question about which round to chamber. That single mechanic reframes detective work as environmental puzzle-solving. You stop asking who did it and start asking which cartridge opens the next room, which is delightful for about two hours and thin by the third. The stylized paper-cutout art and Cats-with-fedoras worldbuilding carry a lot of weight here, and the writing has a wry, self-aware wink that earns real smiles. What it isn't is a satisfying mystery. Cases resolve because you unlocked a door, not because you connected anything, and the RPG label on the store page is generous at best: no builds, no meaningful branching, nothing to re-read for hidden meaning. Controls can fight you during platforming, and the short runtime means the ammo-as-toolkit idea never gets its late-game escalation. Play it for the premise and the presentation, not the payoff.
