Okay, look, my memory is bad. But I have a really good feel for...how I felt about stuff about what I've experienced in the past. And, thinking about the previous game that the devs made (Tangle Tower), I remember a very strong feeling of "this voice actor is awesome I need more", so I had wishlisted this upcoming game years ago. Stayed there forever, and it finally came out, and I bought it day one, which I kinda NEVER do. Being on sale was a plus, but did not register in my head as a qualification for buying. Anyway, game releases. I played. The voice actor I longed for (Amber Lee Connors voicing Sally) delivered. I never skipped a single line. I dunno...certain female voices in various media are just great to me. Examples: Poppy in Mythic Quest (Charlotte Nicdao, Apple TV), lead singer for the Cardigans (Nina Persson), Bird and the Bee singer (Inara George), to name a paltry few. Pretty sure I can just listen to any of 'em read grocery lists, and I'd be good with that. Same thing with this particular voice actor. ...but is the game good? Yeah, it's good. Again, my memory is completely shot, so I'd probably be able to do a new playthrough with Tangle Tower like I've never played it before (apparently in 2022?) But the game is...look, it's fine. There are a bunch of voice actors in the game, and everyone is absolutely wonderful, and I didn't skip any voice-acted lines at all. So yeah, the game is very clear cut: do your investigation, and solve the puzzles that come along with 'em. There was only one puzzle that stumped me for a day, after which I slapped myself and completed it. Nice story, and I think if I remembered what happened in the previous Tangle Tower game, I would've gotten slightly more out of the ending...but the ending's fine, regardless. Anyway, if you haven't played Tangle Tower, play that. And if you liked that, play this game, because it's more of the same. The humor is the draw for the game, as with the previous game...the back-and-forth between the main detective Grimoire and Sally is great.
9/10 really amazing. I first played Tangle Tower ages ago, originally on mobile and later on a PS5, I bought it on the console after learning this game was being made and wanting to experience it again. I was incredibly excited when it was announced and now that this game is out it does not disappoint, it has all the charm of the original (I guess it's fairer to say sequel) game and is honestly, in my opinion an even better experience in terms of story, character, and even gameplay with great additions like all the clues being 3D (which is both visually very fun and also a cool way to hide hidden information), I'm honestly so happy it's this good :) In any case I'm probably going to purchase/re-purchase both 'Detective Grimoire', and 'Tangle Tower' on steam, so that I can properly play the whole franchise at least up until this point, (I'd be very happy for another game in the series, at least eventually). I'll probably wait to do that though, I've already bought Tangle Tower twice now and as much as I want to support the creators, I really cannot bring myself to pay full price for the same game three times. Anyway it's incredible, if you like this type of game then you should get it, if you don't have enough money just wait until a sale and pick it up then, it's genuinely so good and well worth the price.
This was so fun, with so many fascinating and fantastical elements that made unravelling the mystery all the more exciting and fulfilling. The characters and their relationships are so interesting and make it really easy to connect with the story. A perfect addition to the Detective Grimoire series!
Even better than the prequel, which I didn't think even possible..
ABSOLUTE BANGER. Waiting was 100000% worth it. Thank you to everyone who put in the time and effort to make such a masterpiece. :3
Loved it! I just hope we don't have to wait 7 years for another...
I loved chatting with all the characters, they were all really fun and interesting. The puzzles were creative and never repeat an idea twice. And the animations were very well done!
Huge fan of these games and this one lived up to the hype!
An over all improvement to a very good game. 10/10. A a game with a delightful cast and a mystery worthy of comparison to Agatha Christie, which is some of the highest praise I can give.
I been waiting for a while for this game to come out and i can honestly say that it was worth the wait! Everything from the music to the visuals was top notch, i adored the characters and their interactions and the mystery kept me hooked the whole way. I LOVED it, really i can't recommend it enough, even the puzzles themselves were so unique and fun, really a must play 10/10
