Pawdoku Mystery — a cozy cat detective puzzle where every row, column and region hides one bandit

I’ve been working on Pawdoku Mystery, a cozy cat-themed logic puzzle you can play directly inside Reddit.

You’re the cat detective, and sneaky bandits are hiding somewhere on the board. Find exactly one bandit in every row, column, and colored region — but no two bandits can touch, even diagonally.

It starts simple, but the boards gradually get trickier as you progress.

Free to play, no download required.

I’d love to hear what you think — especially whether the rules feel intuitive and how the difficulty curve feels.
