Frog Detective 1: The Haunted Island Reviews

A cute and fun little game. Frog Detective isn't anything challenging, more like a visual novel but it you want a relaxing game with no heavy story lines that can be finished in roughly an hour then I'd recommend this game!

A charming adventure games. While not complex in the slightest, with the games being more like traditional point-and-click games rather than genuine detective games, the cute visuals and funny writing make the experience an enjoyable one. I would highly recommend getting the entire series as well, they are all delightful.

Cheese Rating: 78/100 Only a sick, cold hearted creature who has lost all of their joy and whimsy could negatively review this game. Not all games need to be 150+ hour dark-fantasy RPGs. This game is a fresh breath of island air that breaks your expectations and is apologetically silly. \(*0*)/♥

You talk to a bunch of endearing/humorous characters to solve a short mystery in a straightforward manner. A nice little game.

Fun, short and silly. The main draw is the humour in the dialogue rather than the gameplay so I can see why it may not be to some people’s taste, but I found it endearing, even finishing the next two games in the same day :)

i love this lil guy, super cute and fun game definitely very high up on my list of comfort games

`This game has an unmatched type of dry humor and It's just great. Pretty short but will get a good laugh out of you when you're down or bored or just in to play something different. For sure recommend it!

Not a game for me. It feels more like a visual story than anything else. There is no actual game play, puzzle or plot. For me it felt like playing a game intended for young children.

Not for me, the humor didnt land...and there is like 0 gameplay way WAYY bigger and better games are there at this price point

[H1]It's funny until you realize the joke is the whole game.[/H1] This one came recommended after I finished Duck Detective, and at a glance, it does look like a perfect fit: cute detective? Check. Weird little case? Check. Light-hearted visuals and animal banter? Check. But sadly, it didn’t deliver the mystery or charm I’d hoped for. Let’s be clear: Frog Detective is more of a quirky visual novel than a mystery or puzzle game. The entire experience is incredibly minimalistic, and gameplay-wise, there’s not much beyond walking, clicking, and listening to sarcastic (and sometimes funny) dialogue. It's short: under 40 minutes for a full run and incredibly easy. If the humor doesn’t land for you, there’s almost nothing left to enjoy. A couple jokes did earn a smile, but most of the time I found myself echoing one of the game’s own achievement descriptions: “When will this game end?” I wanted to like it. Really. It’s got that “wholesome indie humor” vibe going on, and there’s definitely an audience for it. But as someone coming fresh off the Duck Detective high, this one just felt flat. No real puzzles, no intrigue, and far too little content for the price. It’s a good joke, but only once. Skip it unless you’re deeply into minimalist, tongue-in-cheek storytelling.
