Evaluation
Detective Gallo is a self-contained point-and-click adventure game that launched on May 30, 2018. The only post-launch developer communication was a single patch on July 11, 2018 that added French localization, an autosave feature, and bug fixes — no future content was mentioned or promised. The game's four DLC items (an original soundtrack, a rules guide, an artbook, and a story companion) all released in May 2022 and are entirely released. These are supplementary bonus materials rather than story expansions. There is no unreleased DLC, no developer roadmap, no announced future content, and no post-launch update pattern suggesting ongoing development. The store description presents the game as a complete, finished experience. The most recent dateable content release is May 16, 2022 (the artbook and story DLC), which marks the point at which the full package — base game plus all bonus materials — became available.

About this game
In the darkness enveloping a city like any other, five exotic plants are the victims of a shocking event. There's no doubt, it’s a multiple plant murder.
The city is not particularly shocked by the tragic incident, but a multi-billionaire is willing to pay an outrageous amount of money to solve the mystery.
And who, if not Detective Gallo, can accept the challenge (and the generous advance of his client)?
For the most cynical and sarcastic detective there is, a case that starts as a trivial domestic accident will turn out to be the most intricate investigation his cactus (!) has ever seen...
Detective Gallo is a point&click comic-noir adventure that is entirely hand-illustrated and hand-animated, and whose protagonist is a feathered and grumpy private eye struggling with a very tricky case, bizarre characters, and puzzles that will put his insight and patience to the test.
A non-violent adventure, inspired to the classical cartoons and the best point&click adventure games of the past! Play as Gallo, a... rooster noir detective, and investigate on a multiple plant murder! Meet lots of incredible characters, all hand-animated, frame-by-frame. Dozens and dozens of logical puzzles and quests! Listen to over 50 minutes of original pure jazz-noir soundtrack! Fully dubbed in English and Italian, with multilanguage support!
