Mystery Detective 2

The Beeworks-developed Mystery Detective stands out from the crowd thanks to its dark, Nightmare Before Christmas-style visual theme and its array of quirky characters that bring a wealth of humour to the adventure. There is a pleasing mix of 2D and simplistic 3D throughout and moody visuals that give the game a great sense of atmosphere. Going hand-in-hand with the graphical approach is the soundtrack, which brings back all the tracks from the first game and mixes in several new ones that are both mystifying and strangely upbeat, depending on the particular scenario. The game flits about from dark themes to light-hearted quirkiness quite regularly and it is definitely pleasing that the accompanying music is suitably fitting.

 

The basis of the gameplay revolves guiding Mackenzie, and her tiny mushroom pet 'Funghi', around numerous locations touching things, with the adventure being fully stylus-driven (although traditional d-pad input is an option for those that really feel like taking a step backwards) and the interface extremely simple to navigate. So straight away you can simply dive right in without any hassle at all, making the game accessible to everyone. Unlike many PC point-and-click games, MD2
