Frog Detective 1: The Haunted Island

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭑ (4.5/5)
Frog Detective 1: The Haunted Island

This game is pure joy from start to finish. You play as a detective (who happens to be a frog) solving the very serious mystery of a haunted island. The humor is wonderfully absurd, the characters are delightfully quirky, and the simple art style fits the charming atmosphere perfectly.

It’s really short—but every minute is packed with personality and fun. Perfect for a chill evening or a little break between longer games. 🐸🔍

A really cute experience! I reccomend playing it with friends taking turn doing the voices, it really completes the whole vibe

a fun family game for all ages!

GOTY!!!!!!!!!!!!

It took me about 45 minutes to beat the game, fun little time killer with a great art style.. wish it was longer!

Such a fun game! Its so cute and I loved every minute! Its got a great soundtrack and runs super smooth too! Keep up the awesome work!

I could barely keep up with all the characters they introduce

Greatest game of all time

playing this high was crazy experience

i DID NOT receive this as a gift. this game is so fun. the music is great, the visuals are great, FROG DETECTIVE is great. i love being able to change their STORIES and play DETECTIVE. i recommend highly if you enjoy MYSTERY games, along with the NOT DLC BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY.

Extremely small and basic kid-friendly game with lots of unvoiced awkward-pause humor. Plenty of words to click through, but not many on-screen at any one time. Perfectly accomplishes everything it goes for, which earns my respect. Glad I got around to experiencing it, but it didn't inspire me to buy the sequels.

What a short, sweet, fun experience. From the writing to the graphics to the soundtrack, everything about this game is the epitome of charming. The jokes are reminisce of Leslie Nielson's work, combining on-the-nose humor with wit.

The gameplay is simple, involving talking to characters and clicking around. And you know what? In a time when some games require in-depth tutorials to grasp the basics, it's refreshing to have such a straightforward, entertaining time.

This game is absolutely worth the price, regardless of whether it's discounted.

cute short game with entertaining dialogue.

Do yourself a favour and play this game, it's worth full price even if it is short because you'd be supporting the devs and I think their time is worth 6$
Just delightful writing I was almost in tears laughing.

10/10. internet good books bad

Very cute, very fun. A good little game, perfect for a lazy afternoon.

silly and cute

best detective work i've ever seen. sherlock could never.

Frog Detective 1: The Haunted Island

The game instantly charmed me with its wacky artsyle, a pleasant although a bit monotone soundtrack, absurd dialogues and overall goofy atmosphere. There is not much of an actual gameplay itself, since all the items needed are kinda on display and the game is quite short – took me 45 minutes to 100% it.
But as I said the main selling point of the game is its silly tone and dialogues, which managed to put a smile on my face several times.

Yet, there was one instance that surprised me somewhat – one of the characters referred to the other one as “they”. However, except for that moment, all else was quite enjoyable.
Considering everything this game has, including its price, it is a solid 7,25/10.

frog with ghosts.

This is just a silly game with music that doesn’t need to bop so hard! It’s honestly great to relax to if you just don’t have a lot of time to play games and need something quick, plus when it’s on sale it’s a steal!

The writing is so funny, awesome little game

A very cute and simple game. Bout 40 minutes to play though but it was a great pick up. Cant wait to join Frog Detective on more adventures

If you don't love Frog Detective I don't even wanna talk to you

Short, cute and funny
definitely worth it

Frog Detective is a nice, quirky, funny game to play on a whim in under an hour.

Easily the weakest frog detective game, but frog detective simply cannot be bad

The second best detective I know easily handled the case of the Haunted Island. 10/10 would recommend his services again.

Silly silly game

I just finished the game and it's really short. It only took about 30+ minutes but the dialogue was super funny and I loved each character even if I talked with them for 20 seconds. It's a relaxed, funny game to chill to when you're bored and wanting to play smth goofy. I gotta finish the series now

Frog Detective is a cute and VERY light "detective" game. There really isn't much of a mystery to investigate but the game encourages you to talk to all of the people on the island and meet their requests. It plays in a short amount of time and seems to be aimed at a younger audience (7+) but adults can most likely play through it in ~35 minutes.

It is a casual play and great to pull out if you want something easy and light. It is a cute game but temper your expectations of this being challenging or an active investigation type game.

Grove Street, home.

cute and charming little game that feels like a kids book! you'll get a fun little hour out of it, though I would recommend buying on sale

I love this game so much! Very cute and very fun! I LOVE THE ANIMATIONS OF THE FROG!!!
MO is my favorite character <3

A masterpiece.

look out for bugs who are people. people bugs. bugs that are kinda people-y. also provides a very intuitive guide for crafting an explosive utilizing dental hygiene products.

incredible, showstopping, and life-changing game. frog detective i love u.

Super short but adorable game!

I loved the music it was so charming which definitely adds to this game.

However gameplay and mysteries are very straightforward. But i still enjoyed it nonetheless!

I wanna see what’s in his hole

* the hole

Sometimes games are hard to review in the sense that it just might not click for you, or worse yet, it clicks too well with you. I think when you look at Frog Detective 1 objectively; it's not a good game. It's extremely minimalist, easy to solve it's puzzles, and a very short length that can make someone question the prize tag. However, the devil wishes to be as charming as Frog Detective, and in that regard it's too late. I am completely smitten by this Detective Frog, and his dry wit mixed with his wholesome nature. At no point did I feel bored through my hour long playthrough, and I think that really helps showcase just how funny this game can be.

Like humor is entirely subjective in it's nature, and if this game doesn't click with you then hope is lost in us being friends. Honestly, I don't even want to fathom a person not liking Frog Detective because that means they're on the wrong side, the book side, of what is wrong in our entertainment industry. To put it down further, the puzzles and mystery of this game are mild at best, and at worst spelled out for you. Everything that makes this game work is simply letting it play out more like an episode rather than a game because largely there isn't a lot of challenge to began with. In that regard, I do think Frog Detective could be a great starting point for younger gamers out there, and the fact the game is entirely silly just kinda boosts that theory more.

Overall, this game is just silly, and if you can vibe with that, you'll have a good time.

nice game
