About

Point-and-click adventure where Detective McQueen investigates six supernatural cases in Twin Lakes, a city with an unusually high haunting rate. Each case presents puzzle-based scenarios involving paranormal phenomena—you'll examine crime scenes, collect items, and piece together clues to resolve mysteries that blend comedy with the occult. The game uses pixel art and leans into deadpan humor rather than genuine scares. Puzzles rely on inventory management and environmental logic rather than moon logic, though some solutions require lateral thinking. Cases are self-contained episodes, so you can tackle them in sequence or jump around. If you want detective work with ghosts but don't need grimdark atmosphere, this delivers lighthearted supernatural sleuthing.
