Eugene Polar is but a rascal, a cunning crook finding himself in and out of the bars of Candy Yard. Tired of the life of crime, he seeks to atone for his sins by becoming a defender of justice.
But sinister shadows lurk at the corner of the eye. Is any cookie in this world safe?
Polar Detective is a mystery-adventure, inspired by (and a tribute to) the life of the father of Criminology, Eugène François Vidocq.
The story follows the young protagonist Eugene Polar, and his appetite for thrill (and food) -- always on the run, from the world and himself -- turning over a new leaf. It was time he stopped and returned what belonged to the people. In a land where each one eats alone, he hopes to bring prosperity back to the people of Arctica, and to atone for his past thefts of cookies and honey.
But in every path lie hurdles to conquer, as other rival criminals declare their claims on the scarce food. What awaits our villains-turned-heroes is much more than chase scenes and battles of wits, because they might just be dancing at the center of a web woven by a greater force.
