Detective Grimoire

Fun, but not nearly as good as the following games turned out to be. Still, this game has the foundations of what makes Tangle Tower and The Mermaid Mask so good, such as the odd yet entertaining characters and emotive art/animation. It was likely out of the scope of this earlier game, but it’s disappointing that characters don’t have very much to say about most of the evidence or other characters. Also, the simplicity of the puzzles here make them barely qualify as such. While I wouldn’t recommend it as a starting point, it was still an enjoyable little mystery that offered an interesting perspective on the later games.

:D

Fun point and click detective game. Good voice acting, good music, nice artstyle, good gameplay.

Muito divertido vei.

I had fun with this. Great voice acting just lots of clicking around.

Fun little detective game that I enjoyed, reminded me almost of a quaint mix of Scooby Doo and Gravity Falls esque cryptid mystery. The art is quite nice, I enjoyed the designs of the characters and the voice acting overall was well done. There's just enough mystery and intrigue between the suspects to keep you engaged in wanting to find the next piece of evidence. Not the longest title, I recommend using a guide if you're stuck since finding certain pieces of evidence can be a bit tricky. The interactive puzzles sometimes left something to be desired, some of them seeming far too easy and others being slightly mechanically confusing. For the selling price of $7 there's a reasonable 3-6 hours of fun to be had depending on how good you are at deduction and puzzles, and on sale for $1.39 I absolutely recommend it if you want a charming short mystery game that sets up the groundwork of a larger story.

Fun little game! I love how there's a little foreshadowing for Tangle Tower :D
