Detective Patch is a 2D side-scrolling detective RPG all about solving a wacky mystery and fighting all sorts of bizarre weirdos.
On a cold and subdued night, a stranger in the dark steals the mayor’s precious ruby, a mystical gem that holds immense power, and could (possibly) lead to the destruction of the world! Will Detective Patch (with the help of some odd allies) be able to find whodunit and recover the ruby before it’s too late?
Take a stroll through Hazelnut Plaza, a place filled with all sorts of cool stuff to see and do! You can try to stay focused and solve the case as fast as you can, or relax and take the adventure at your own pace. The plaza can change slightly throughout the day depending on your actions, so stay alert!
Fight with traditional turn-based combat, or use the unique interrogation system to deal with enemies without causing any harm. Doing so will provide you with more clues and extra goodies.
Use your wits and trusty clue book to solve any puzzle that stands in your way! But what does it all mean? I don't know, buy the game to find out or something. (I'm no psychic...)
