Detective Colby Best Explores Deep Space in Second Best Chapter 5

by Lily Nov 08,2025

  • Colbie Best returns to mobile gaming in the fifth chapter of Second Best
  • Far from home, you'll face some seriously challenging action sequences
  • Experience classic point-and-click adventure gameplay with its signature quirky logic

Long-running point-and-click series are surprisingly scarce on mobile platforms. Consider popular PC franchises like Monkey Island or Telltale's extensive console catalog - mobile has few equivalents. That's what makes MysteryCaper's Colbie Best franchise so valuable, especially with this new release of Second Best's fifth chapter.

The appeal of Colbie Best's adventures is immediately apparent. The games feature classic adventure mechanics that guide players through interactive comic-style stories filled with whimsical humor. Think more along the lines of Day of the Tentacle rather than serious noir titles like Still Life.

This style does require players to embrace unconventional puzzles and outrageous scenarios. However, if you're accustomed to the sometimes illogical leaps that characterize point-and-click adventures, you'll feel right at home helping Colbie Best navigate these challenges.

Bringing out your best

Interestingly, MysteryCaper also recently launched Bested: A Colbie Best Mystery on iOS. If you enjoy Second Best and want more content, there's already another title waiting for you. The episodic release format means additional Second Best chapters are still in development.

So what's the premise of this fifth chapter? Without revealing too much, you'll find yourself in a precarious situation among the stars. Your survival depends on outsmarting a puzzling ally, navigating ship crew dynamics, and overcoming cunning antagonists.
