About the Game

Magret and FaceDeBouc - "The buddy-buddy case"

Discover the pilot episode of a potential point-and-click adventure game series that will keep you entertained for hours on end!

Step into the shoes of an extraordinary detective duo and journey through a captivating and humorous cartoon universe. Inspector Magret, a distinguished and upright green-necked duck, is forced to team up with Inspector FaceDeBouc, a goat with a radically different temperament. Captain of Police, Mr. Hishiro, compels them to cooperate on the investigation of the murder of Mr. Couane, a local merchant who was found in the early morning, sliced into sausages and various pieces of charcuterie in his café...

A game in the pure tradition of point-and-click adventures, with a nostalgic 90s old-school atmosphere in a timeless cartoon world. Solve puzzles, find clues, interrogate suspects, carry out arrests, and conduct interrogations at the police station. Explore all the crime-related locations in a sprawling city and enjoy the dark, caustic, and zany humor that has made Adipson Studio's games a success.

This pilot episode offers the genesis of possible future investigations and introduces you to all the key characters in the saga, including a scene where the two inspectors meet, the introduction of recurring characters such as Captain Hishiro, Landroch the geek panda, and Mr. Corbillot, the forensic vulture.

One last thing...

Warning...you don't have to be sensitive to play this game, as the characters in this point-and-click game break the 4th wall and sometimes address you, aware that they're in a video game that you control...and that's one of the strengths and original features of this game!
