Frog Detective 3: Corruption at Cowboy County is a casual adventure game that is framed as a detective story. It is the sequel to Frog Detective and Frog Detective 2 and provides a comedic and family-friendly take on the detective genre. Developed by Worm Club, it is a single-player experience, but parents can easily play it with younger children.

The game's visuals and humor have drawn some comparisons with Donut County. The game itself sees the Frog Detective visit the seemingly lawless Cowboy County, which takes inspiration from the American frontier or Old West. However, not everything is as it first appears.

Missing cowboy hats

The story itself follows the cliffhanger ending of Frog Detective 2, where the detective just received a mystery call from his supervisor. This call ends up sending the detective to Cowboy County, which is populated by surprisingly friendly outlaws. Ultimately, the story leads to the central mystery: the case of the missing hats.

Gameplay primarily consists of conversing with the residents of Cowboy County and solving very basic puzzles. However, the charm of the game comes from its writing and comedic elements. Cowboy County itself is a Wild West location, filled with people who use scooters instead of horses for transport.

A fitting conclusion

So, is Frog Detective 3 the last game in the series? It certainly appears to be the case. The game provides a fitting conclusion to the story and wraps up all elements of the Frog Detective series nicely.

It serves as a direct sequel to the previous entries in the series, and the core gameplay loop remains the same. Like its predecessors, the total game time is also very short, with players able to complete the game in around two hours. This makes it slightly longer than Frog Detective 2.

Fun for all ages

The simple puzzles and quirky characters in Frog Detective 3 will have an obvious appeal to younger gamers, but the humor will ensure a fun and engaging adventure for players from all age groups.
