Even at the end, when the mystery is solved, Frog Detective himself remarks, “I’m slightly disappointed.” So was I.įrog Detective 2, does have redeeming qualities. I honestly don’t remember if the final item was actually there all along or if it spawned in after I gave the last character what they needed. The final clue turns out to have been in plain sight all along. There are no clues to find, no real mystery to solve….you’re simply finding items for character A who gives you the item character B wants, who then gives you the item character C wants, who then gives you the item character D wants…and so on. Each character you encounter needs a particular item that another character has. Each time the detective speaks to a character for the first time, their profile is added to the notebook along with a brief description of their personality and what they’re looking for.
When the parade is ruined, the townsfolk need the detective to get to the bottom of who spoiled their fun.Īt the beginning of the game, players are given a notebook that houses a rundown of all the characters the detective interviews. The game brings the Frog Detective to a small town that was planning a parade for its new resident, a mysterious wizard. Beyond the brevity of the experience - which the developers clearly acknowledge on the Steam store page, to their credit - the detective gameplay wasn’t satisfying at all. Frog Detective 2’s titular mystery was a letdown. That is what detectives do and that is what I expected to do as the Frog Detective himself. The major appeal of playing as a detective is solving mysteries.
