Game 22 - The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game - Week 13 - March 20


I acquired in the Humble Australia Fire Relief Bundle in support of the great fires of 2019. I'd be lying if I said that was the only reason I got it, as there were several games like Hollow Knight and Hands of Fate 2 that had been on my list for a while. But I typically keep the games I want and give away the rest. I did not expect that a game I'd never seen,
he Haunted Island: A Frog Detective Game would fall into the former category. It wasn't until about a third of the way in that I'd realize this was probably intended for kids. The writing and characters are kooky, though like most cleverly written fiction for children there was enough there to make an adult laugh. Examples you ask? Well how about collecting toothpaste and wool to create dynamite so you can blow a cave open and uncover the mystery of the haunted island, only to find it's the king of islands best friend who's been practicing for the upcoming dance competition (which you're the defacto judge for, of course). It was a cool game, reminding me of the games I use to play in daycare and I'd recommend it to any parent.
