Really fun game with just the right blend of freedom and story. The characters and dialogue has a very specific sense of humor that works really well. I think my only issue is that the physics/movement challenges do get a little bit grating after a while. For example: falling off a path when sliding and not being able to really jump back up from where your stuck, or pretty much anything that involved picking an object up with your flippers. I love exploring penguin society and the developers put so much effort into storytelling and world building.
This is a good game its fun when i help the penguins and the show to stop baby penguin abuse

For a short detective penguin game, this game was actually decent. Cases maybe simple and easy to solve the story is really fun and not too deep which is good.....it was fun to see some characters from the penguin heist story like Mr Penguin, Lard Chowder, Jerry, Rex Fontaine, Fernando Miguel feature in the game as well. Love the new features like the mind space which is a cool thing to be added in the game to see the cases and ability to choose where to be harsh or not to the witnesses which was something cool to see. Wish there were more cases to be solved which could have made the game at least 10-20 hours at least but it was worth the money i spent. I would give this game 8/10 and pls add achievements as well
I got this game as a bundle on discount with the penguin heist and I've always loved penguins so this was quite fun to play and the stories were interesting. However, there were several issues I had when playing this game. 1. Lack of informational instrcutions. E.g, the workout task in case 3 where I keyboard smashed until I found the right key to do the rep. Even the haunted noot's side quest riddle was hard to figure out since there were no hints. 2. You can randomly start different cases without realising it. There should be a notification that you are about to switch cases or disable players from accessing new cases when solving one already. I accidentally started the side quest: haunted noots when trying to find the house on the left of town hall in case 3. 3. No map. I got to know the layout of the place since I went looking around in the penguin heist but certain locations were hard to find since the instructions gave very vague descriptions of where we should be. Either a map should be created or there should be a trail to follow. 4. Other people have mentioned this already but yes, the controls. The auto climb ladder constantly made me fall off the tower during the "get the electrician's lucky hat" task. I had to look for walkthroughs to help me navigate the game since it became frustrating very quickly. It distracted me from the actual storyline of each case since the confusion of what to do next or where to go took up most of my time. Overall, it's a pretty fun game if you have the patience but I think I lost mine too many times...
This is a great game. I love the humor, and the story and characters are great. The gameplay is pretty simple but is interspersed with little challenges.
I'm really surprised at this game's depth! Yes, it's mostly silly nonsense with basically Goat Simulator mechanics-- At first. The game is pretty linear, but all of the side quests are really fun and creative and the main story just became more and more interesting as it went on. I was thoroughly intrigued by all the little details you picked up that slowly filled in the pieces of the puzzle. There are multiple points in the story that I didn't quite expect-- even through the lens of a cute little penguin game. SPOILER WARNING: [spoiler]The main story reminded me a lot of Sons Of The Forest; With a mysterious ritual taking place where rich people are lured to their deaths for some blood sacrifice, an artifact from some ancient advanced civilization that was "here long before us", Some "hidden truth/power lost to time, and someone trying to use the device to open a portal to another dimension or something-- at the cost of their sanity/humanity ('Guinity). Again, very surprised at this game's depth. [/spoiler] Story is decently long for what it is, especially if you take your time to explore and talk to all the 'guins. I loved beating someone senseless when they were rude with zero consequences. I loved making pizzas and [spoiler]going to the cucumber dimension.[/spoiler] all the workings of just being a good detective. Good map, adorable and stupid, Noot Noot! Absolute must play if looking to play something short and sweet in 1-2 sessions. Definitely buying Penguin Heist later. I did run into some minor issues, like blood was not visible and toggling didn't seem to have an effect. There's some dialogue early in the game that says something was written on the wall in blood, and the wall was just blank for me. Also piano keys didn't load for me wherever there was a piano. But that's about it, other than some very brief visual bugs or collision issues.
I was really hoping this would be good from how fun the greatest penguin heist is, but while waiting i accidently interacted with something i interacted with a few minutes before and i got stuck in a loop :(

Um jogo extremamente divertido e a trama é muito mais empolgante do que eu imaginava. Aborda questões filosóficas muito profundas. 10/10
