It seems our favourite hard-boiled (and slightly overheated) detective just can’t catch a break. Saucy sleuth VanillaBeast has only just recovered from his last heated encounter, but another case is already knocking at his door—and this one is looking particularly… stiff.

VanillaBeast: Mystery Kink has officially launched for the PC today, and it’s bringing a healthy dose of 90s-inspired comedy-horror parody to your Steam Deck and desktop.

What’s Afoot in Venerousville?

Something is definitely “up” in the city of Venerousville. Masked horrors and hook-handed men are wandering the streets at night, but that’s not even the weirdest part. Ancient, phallic-shaped mysteries—the legendary Phallus Stones—once buried deep, are beginning to rise to the surface.

It’s a bit much for one man to handle single-handedly. Thankfully, Vanilla isn’t going at it alone. He’s joined by a crew of whip-smart (and very familiar) partners:

• Blake Blossom
• Jewel De’Nyle
• Kiki D’Aire
• Nickey Huntsman

Each of these ladies is a fully playable character, bringing their own “assets” to the investigation as you work together to tease out the city’s hidden truths.

Gameplay: Hidden Objects and High Energy

If you’re a fan of classic Leisure Suit Larry or the cheeky vibes of Perky Little Things, you’ll feel right at home here. Developed by Vanilla Gaming Company, the game is a full-throated homage to retro puzzle-solving.

Key Features:

• Hand-Drawn Parody Levels: Explore over 10 beautifully illustrated locations, including the legally distinct “Camp Crystal Fake.”
• Mobile Crafting: No more backtracking to a far-off workbench. Your crafting table is located right in the back of your ride, the “Van”illa, which follows you to every location.
• Mini-Games Galore: From archery and dunk booths at the Renaissance Festival to high-stakes dancing in hotel lobbies, there’s plenty of variety to keep things fresh.
• Steam Deck Compatible: Perfect for “incognito” gaming sessions on the go.

A “Cheeky” Approach to Comedy

In an era where some developers play it safe, Vanilla Gaming Company remains unapologetically bold. Mystery Kink is designed to be accessible for everyone (of a mature age), focusing on laughs and clever puzzles rather than “skill issues” or frustrating difficulty spikes.

“We know having to back track to a crafting table located far away can be a drag, so we’ve added the crafting table right in the back of your sweet ride… Your crafting table is always just a few steps away!” — Vanilla Gaming Company

The game features full voice-over work from its star-studded cast and a classic soundtrack designed to immerse you deep—deep—into the gameplay.

VanillaBeast: Mystery Kink is available now on PC. If you’re looking for a mystery that doesn’t take itself too seriously but definitely goes hard on the humour, it’s time to head to Venerousville.
