M.S. Salmon

About

M.S. Salmon drops you into a 1960s world populated by anthropomorphic animals. You play as Ben Hearnden, a penguin detective investigating a murder aboard the luxury ship M.S. Salmon. The story unfolds through an interactive 2D animation style that blends with various gameplay segments. You will solve crimes using point-and-click mechanics while also tackling rail shooter levels and even managing food service tasks on the vessel. The project stands out for its handcrafted animation and how it weaves mystery with action. Players have noted the game runs well on PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch without missing a beat. The way the narrative reveals Ben's personal history alongside the main case keeps things engaging throughout. It feels like a distinct take on the genre rather than just another detective puzzle. This approach creates a solid experience that holds up for single players looking for something different in the adventure space.
