Reviews
A nice, short, and cute detective game for a cheap price! I really do mean short as this game is essentially completed in under an hour. I had this under my radar for a while when I saw this in upcoming and decided to finally buy it and support small game devs like this. I am glad I did! It's nothing revolutionary or groundbreaking, but it's a nice, funny, and engaging way to spend an hour of your time. For a price that is essentially as cheap as a bottle of soda, I certainly felt like I got my money's worth in my hour-long playthrough. Kind of sad this game flew completely under the radar judging by the really low number of Steam reviews. It certainly deserves a lot more attention for what it delivers! Side note: It's kind of crazy just how many "animal detective" games there are out there. Every time I think I have seen them all with every type of animal protagonist, a new one pops up. Not that I am complaining but it is interesting just how many there are.
Awesome game- definitely a great way to spend some time. Buy it! Play it! Wait for episode 2?!?!!

A nice short little game. The art style is very unique and the ending wasn't immediately obvious, making for an enjoyable ride.
a lovely game and a lovely way to spend 45 minutes. the art is charming and what initially drew me in. the music helps set the detective mood. the gameplay feels secondary to the writing, music, and art. it's very simple but i don't think it needs to be anything more than that. i liked having a journal that let me ask people about whatever subject i want while at the same time guiding me toward the conclusion in a timely manner. this is an easy recommend from me. thank you for making this game Team Grouper :)
*Insert fish pun here*
I love all the fish puns and the story was very good, I hope there are more episodes.
Short and sweet, really cute. Worth the price, I LOVE the pixel art and the sound design. They mystery is easy to solve but its enjoyable just for the vibe.
Short and silly, a fun diversion
Cute short whimsical game, makes you feel like you're on itch. Don't expect a lot of detective work tho.
