DinoCop is a funny 3D adventure game with puzzle elements and a quirky graphics style. You play as a Dinosaur Police Officer who's helping keep peace in a world in which Humans and Dinosaurs co-exist. DinoCop lets you investigate in real-time, and you'll lose if you take too long to solve the mystery. I played the Demo of this game during Steam Next Fest!
The Demo covers the investigation of Dinosaurs bringing human-meat to a Hotel. Since dealing with human-meat is illegal, it's up to DinoCop to solve if someone actually brought it, and find out who it is.
As a player you interact with characters and the environment, and use your eyes and nose to figure out leads. The smelling mechanic in particular is really fun, and makes the game unique. It reminds me of an old PS1 game, which had a smelling mechanics too.
I loved the comedic vibes of the dialogue. It gives every character a unique characterization, even though most of them don't have names. There's the librarian, the politician, the greedy meat seller, and surprisingly a Chicken who's good at virtue signalling. I commend the writer of this game.
The art-style, while not perfect it suits the game really well... I have a soft spot for low-poly 3D games, and there isn't too much detail which makes the quickiness charming! The animation for DinoCop thinking reminds me of the Philosoraptor meme, and I LOVE THAT!! (It had to be intentional right?)
I loved playing the game on my Steam Deck!
Speaking about the Steam Deck, I don't know if it's my device, but the game displayed only on a square viewport of the screen. The game's store page show screenshots covering the whole screen, so I wonder if it's just me.
Anyway, thanks for reading/watching!
