Touch Detective 2½ has been rated "E" for Everyone with Comic Mischief by the ESRB.

Accepted into the Great Detective Society, Mackenzie has become a fully-accredited sleuth! Trouble is, people still do not take her seriously. All that changes when a string of strange thefts pulls her into a puzzling plot, and she’ll have to use all of her skills and intuition to discover the motive behind the crimes and solve the mystery!

Key Features:
•A hilariously off-beat story spanning 5 Episodes! Longer, wittier, and more entertaining than the first Touch Detective, the new plot develops over the course of 5 interrelated chapters, each playing off the one before.

•Over twice the locations to visit and all-new characters to compliment the returning cast from the original! Cromwell, Penelope, and even your trusty sidekick Funghi all make a return in Touch Detective 2½, and if you want to get to the bottom of the mystery, you will need their help!

•More unlockables! Solve side quests and complete an all-new Touch List and Investigation Report to gain access to new music and art!
