“Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery” is a compilation of three adventure games for the Nintendo Switch, where players assume the role of a detective frog tasked with solving whimsical mysteries. The collection includes “The Haunted Island,” “The Case of the Invisible Wizard,” and “Corruption at Cowboy County.” Each case presents a unique narrative, with the first involving a haunted sloth, the second a ruined celebratory parade, and the third a sheriff-less town with a sinister scheme. The game is designed for a single player and offers a family-friendly experience with a touch of humor. It supports various play modes, including TV, tabletop, and handheld, and is available in multiple languages.
A physical edition for the Nintendo Switch is now available for pre-order at $49.99 CAD, which includes a digital download code for the complete soundtrack, reversible cover art, and business cards from Frog Detective and Lobster Cop. The physical release is scheduled for August 9, 2024.
