In the idyllic seashore town of Nook Harbour, Detective Toe Beans solves mysteries and helps the townspeople out whenever he can. Today is the town's 148th annual pie baking contest. The competition is always fierce but Granny Smith usually comes out on top. She has won the competition for 30 years running. This year however, just before the competition, Granny Smith is found dead, baked inside a pie! Inspector LeRibbit, a slick, big city inspector just so happens to be in town right when the crime of the century occurs. Detective Toe Beans and Inspector LeRibbit reluctantly work together to unravel the dark and demonic mystery lying underneath the cozy town of Nook Harbour.

immaculately stylish! agree with the other commenter: the music is excellent and fits the game well; the game feels very polished overall, good stuff! 

(silly little observation as i was playing, but were the two detectives based on the idioms 'has the cat got your tongue?' and 'a frog in your throat'? ...probably not but it's a fun connection i'll leave you with haha)

edit: also loved the ghost ducks intro sequence and how the credits were done :)
