In summer 2012, Feline Fuelled Games began the development of a [[Graphic adventure game|point-and-click adventure]] based on Oliver Knörzer’s [[webcomic]] ''[[Sandra and Woo]]'' called ''Sandra and Woo in the Cursed Adventure''. It features all the main characters from the comic. It's the team’s first original game and uses the [[Adventure Game Engine]] by [[Visionaire Studio]]. On 30 April 2015, the first screenshots of the game were uploaded to the webcomic's website.<ref>{{cite web |last=Knörzer |first=Oliver |date=2015-04-30 |title=First screenshots from the Sandra and Woo adventure game |url=https://www.sandraandwoo.com/2015/04/30/first-screenshots-from-the-sandra-and-woo-adventure-game/ |access-date=2015-04-30 |work=Sandra and Woo}}</ref> The game was eventually released on [[Steam (service)|Steam]] on 5 May 2017 to mixed reviews from [[Video Game Criticism|video game critics]]. In his review for ''[[Adventure Gamers]]'' (3.5/5 stars), Peter Mattsson was fond of the likeable characters and the interesting story, but criticized the design of some of the puzzles and [[Minigame|minigames]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=16 June 2017 |title=Sandra and Woo in the Cursed Adventure Review |url=https://adventuregamers.com/articles/view/32915 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170924175033/https://adventuregamers.com/articles/view/32915 |archive-date=September 24, 2017 |access-date=2018-07-14 |website=Adventure Gamers |language=en-US}}</ref> Susanne Lang-Vorhofer from the German website ''Adventure Corner'' also liked the characters and the story, but had a very negative opinion about the German [[voice-over]], giving the game a score of 68% in the end.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sandra and Woo in The Cursed Adventure - Adventure Corner |url=https://www.adventurecorner.de/reviews/677/sandra-and-woo-in-the-cursed-adventure |access-date=2018-07-14 |website=www.adventurecorner.de |language=en}}</ref>
