easy and short, artstyle is nice and the story is cool i liked it, though the culprit is super obvious midway there's weird inconsistencies though like sound quality throughout the game if playing on linux i recommend forcing proton experimental the native port stinks (maybe because the game was made on adobe air....)
Игра проходится меньше, чем за 2 часа. Головоломки очень легкие, решаются с первого раза, думать почти не нужно. Как вариант, чтобы отдохнуть вечером, вполне нормально, но не более. Со своим сиквелом она, конечно, не сравнится. Tangle Tower сделана на голову выше. Из положительного могу отметить, что озвучка здесь тоже хорошая, слушать приятно. Дизайны персонажей интересные, а английский несложный - всё понятно с первого раза. Что не понравилось, так это цветовая гамма и оформление меню с профилями подозреваемых. Казалось бы, в игре преимущественно используются зеленые, болотные тона, но при этом присутствует много кислотных цветов (особенно в менюшках). Из-за этого глаза быстро устают. После сессии в ~2 часа хотелось просто лечь и уткнуться в подушку. Про меню с профилями подозреваемых: ориентироваться в ней невозможно. Много информации внесено в ограниченное пространство, глаза просто разбегаются. (я, например, только после завершения игры узнала, что там можно было менять степень подозрения к персонажам) В итоге игру бы оценила на 5/10, все же она больше напоминает новеллу, чем головоломку.
Вери гуд. Простой сюжет и загадка. Самая приземлённая часть коллекции, ну и собственно с чего то нужно было начинать. Рекомендую для начала великолепного приключения.
Very fun, love the voices and the humor. I have in fact gifted this game to several friends. lol
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.
Had fun with it. I'll be playing more from this developer.
better than the flash but glad I played that too for the references
I love the Detective Grimoire series! As a first installment, this one was short and sweet. Only takes about two hours to complete it and get all the achievements, which are also really easy to get. The characters and world are charming, and I quite like the music!
Detective Grimoire is a neat & short Point and Click game Pros: - Unique and lovely characters. - Endearing story. - Beautiful sceneries. - A nice and fitting soundtrack to complement all above. Cons: - A bit short (2~3 hours even if it's not shocking for this price point, especially when in sales). - Feels sometimes a bit rough around the edges. If you like the genre, just go for it, enjoy and I highly recommend to check the others point and click games of the serie: https://store.steampowered.com/app/359510/Tangle_Tower/?curator_clanid=33020920 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1696770/The_Mermaid_Mask/?curator_clanid=33020920
A fun three hour point and click adventure.
