About this game

The action takes place in a surreal world, formally representing our planet closer to the end of the Cretaceous period (according to the user manual - 75 million years BC), but at the same time populated not only, so to speak, “ordinary”, but also anthropomorphic dinosaurs - entirely bipedal, intelligent and even civilized: wearing clothes, having houses and working for the good of society. The main character is Sherloch Ness, a funny private detective in a plaid coat and hat, who has a rather impressive abdomen, but is also able to jump well. His task is to consistently help his four clients in resolving their problems; Thus, the first case is devoted to exposing a bank robber at the request of the director of the aforementioned institution, and subsequently, for example, you will have to return the pet to the inconsolable venerable lady. The general surroundings initially seem cheerful and colorful, not only externally, but also “essentially” - in other words, it seems that we are faced with a kind children's platformer with a side view. But actually it is not so at all, Dinosaur Detective Agency is extremely complex and "obeys" not even every fan of the "hardcore", not to mention the average player.
