''Frog Detective'' is a comedic 3D AdventureGame trilogy developed by Grace Bruxner and Thomas Bowker, in which you play as the titular mystery-solving frog. The first two games in the series are currently available for PC, with a third planned release in 2022.
In ''The Haunted Island, a Frog Detective Game'', a sloth is seemingly haunted by a ghostly presence, and it's the Detective's job to track it down. In ''Frog Detective 2: The Case of the Invisible Wizard'', a town is preparing to welcome a new wizardly neighbor into their community, but when the decorations are mysteriously vandalized, it's up to the Detective to find out who did it, and why. Finally, in ''Frog Detective 3: Corruption at Cowboy County'', the Detective and Lobster Cop head to the Wild West to try and find a missing sheriff, only to accidentally reveal an actual crime in the process.
