Daemon Detective Gaiden II

About

Daemon Detective Gaiden II is a chaotic platformer where you leap, slash, and scavenge through surreal levels teeming with enemies and secrets. Each world challenges you to reach the exit while hunting for hidden paintings scattered in hard-to-reach spots. Collect coins to buy boosts like extra lives or damage multipliers, and choose from characters with abilities that shift how you approach combat and traversal. Boss fights at the end of every level tie into a goofy mystery about cursed art and a missing museum curator. The game’s charm comes from its offbeat visuals and tight co-op gameplay. Yal’s signature art style turns every level into a colorful, paint-splattered nightmare. Players can team up locally to share the chaos, making it easier to miss hidden secrets without overlapping paths. With a 80% user score on Steam, fans praise the fast-paced action and the satisfaction of finding all 100+ paintings. It’s a short but punchy run best played with friends.

Storyline

When the latest exhibit of the New Magma City Art Museum has its grand opening, it doesn't take long until people are going missing. And new, undocumented paintings start showing up in the collection... so well made, it feels like you could get lost in those worlds forever. When the ordinary New Magma City penguin police force can't make nor heads nor tails out of this supernatural case, the ragtag band of teenage private investigators over at Daemon Detectives, Inc. gets called in to save the day once again!
