About this game
Dive into the shadows as Detective Modo, a cunning shapeshifting lizard slinking through a vibrant town to unravel a gripping mystery! Emerging from your sewer lair, you discover a passed-out child in the depths. Determined to reunite them with their parents, you venture into the bustling streets above, where every face hides a secret and every quest unveils a piece of the puzzle.
Transform into any NPC you encounter, unlocking unique dialogue and fresh perspectives that reshape the town’s tangled web of stories. Solve each townsfolk’s quest in any order you choose, wielding cleverly earned items and mind-bending secret abilities to crack puzzles and expose truths. With every shift, you’re one step closer to solving the enigma of the missing child—but beware, the town’s secrets run deeper than the sewers you call home.
Will you unravel the mystery as the ultimate shapeshifting sleuth? Detective Modo awaits your cunning!
