Frog Detective 2 is a pretty mediocre visual novel/walking sim about a frog that is also a detective.
It's not really much of a game at all to be honest, there are 2 decisions within it's entire runtime, one of which is where to place stickers on your detective notebook, and it lacks any sort of traditional gameplay. I'm not boring enough to think these sorts of experiences are without merit but I do think that they have to support themselves with some exceptional writing. On that front, frog detective is occasionally charming but generally a little too quirky for my taste.
The visuals are nice and the music's fitting even if the setting lacks a lot of variety.
Overall, I'm really interested in linear narrative game experiences and I wish that this was more fulfilling but right now frog detective could use a little more actual detective work in it's series.
