Detective Frizbee

About Detective Frizbee

Detective Frizbee is a quirky open-world RPG from Super Dam, released December 31, 2025, for PC. You play as a fluffy dog named Frizbee who solves a murder in his sleepy town despite already knowing the killer’s identity. The game blends puzzle-solving with deduction, as Frizbee must gather evidence and present it to his human friends. With a single-player story driven by exploration and wit, it’s an oddball take on the detective genre. Expect a mix of goofy humor and methodical sleuthing, all while chasing butterflies and napping between cases.

Gameplay

You spend most sessions roaming Frizbee’s town, sniffing out clues and interacting with NPCs like Muriel and Shampoo. The core loop involves tracking scents to find hidden evidence, solving environmental puzzles, and piecing together alibis. Controls focus on point-and-click exploration, with a dedicated "sniff" mechanic to highlight suspicious items. Combat is nonexistent; instead, you challenge suspects with evidence in dialogue-based confrontations. Sessions typically last 2-4 hours, balancing investigation with side quests like fetching lost toys. The open world is small but densely packed with secrets, and progress hinges on logical deduction rather than grinding.

What Players Think

Community ratings average 4.2/5 stars, with critics praising its creativity but noting a 68% completion rate. Average playtime is 18 hours, and 32 achievements exist, including “Find the Murderer” (unlocked by 92% of players). Mood tags show 58% “Chill,” 24% “Curious,” and 18% “Tense.” Reviews highlight the charm but split on pacing: one user wrote, “Engaging but slow,” while another called it “A cozy mystery with heart.” The game costs $29.99, and 45% of players completed it within two weeks of release.

PlayPile's Take

Detective Frizbee is best for fans of deduction puzzles and low-stakes storytelling. At $30, it’s a niche but polished experience, though its 10-hour midpoint may test patience. With 32 achievements and a completion rate just shy of 70%, it rewards persistence. Skip if you crave action or fast pacing, but embrace it for its whimsical charm and clever twist on the genre. Worth a try if you enjoy figuring out mysteries at your own speed.

Storyline

Frizbee is the friendly neighborhood dog who loves to nap and chase butterflies. But when a murder shakes his sleepy town, with some encouragement from his best friends, Muriel and Shampoo, he wears the hat of a detective. The challenge for this detective is that he already knows who the murderer is through his sharp sense of smell, but he can’t simply tell his human friends. Instead, he must gather and present evidence of the culprit’s crime. So, he does what he does best: "Smell & Fetch."
