Our take on The Mystery of Caketropolis
Rather than placing a human detective at the center of a mystery, the game makes a young dragon the investigator. It also replaces ordinary object examination with playful actions such as licking, smelling, and booping, set within a city shared by humans and dragons.
What is The Mystery of Caketropolis?
The Mystery of Caketropolis is a story-driven adventure mystery set in Stalagshire, a city shared by humans and dragons.
Rimentus, a young dragon born there, investigates the destruction of Caketropolis, the city’s first interspecies cafe. The arson interrupts the Festival of Peace, exposes tensions between humans and dragons, and threatens the dragons with exile. Players examine the city and interact with objects through actions such as licking, smelling, and booping while making choices that affect the world. The game presents its story through custom assets and over 40 hand-drawn cutscenes, accompanied by an original soundtrack. The investigation centers on identifying the person responsible before time runs out.
