Overview

Prepare for another dose of gritty, yet hilariously unconventional detective work in Defective Detectives 3. This installment sees the legendary, albeit perpetually unsuccessful, duo return for their third outing. With a twenty-year track record of zero solved cases but an endless supply of dignity, they're back and seemingly have nowhere left to fall – though they'll undoubtedly find a way. The game plunges players back into the chaotic world of Detective Johnson, a genius philosopher of the garbage with a nose for... well, his own socks. His office is a cardboard box, his breakfast is a cardboard box, and his most reliable employee is a trained rat courier named Skinny Joe. Things kick off when an accident involving intern Billy and Skinny Joe sets the stage for a new, city-threatening catastrophe involving counterfeit money, as hinted by a letter from the mayor.
