About
In the pitch-black waters beyond a long-abandoned fishing town, the enigmatic captain of the world's strangest submarine has been murdered. Some say he was an immortal time-traveller. Others say he was a vampire, cursed to stay hidden beneath the waves forever...
Found alone in a locked room, with only an ancient stone cauldron to suggest how he might have died, it's up to Detective Grimoire and Sally to piece together what really happened. Was it a curse, released from the cauldron? One of the submarine's eccentric crew? Or does the bizarre truth run even deeper...
• Every clue is a fully realised 3D object waiting to be examined for hidden secrets
• Grimoire and Sally are back, and joined by a fully voiced cast of mysterious suspects
• A hauntingly beautiful original soundtrack performed by the Budapest Art Orchestra
• Explore every hand-painted inch of The Mortuga Submarine, where not all is as it seems...

Another great point n click locked room murder mystery! Thoughtful dialog on every item you could want to click, kinda makes up for the fact you will probably have to click on everything and everyone and get everyone's opinion of everything and everyone. The game is very engrossing though, I was very excited to play it all the way through as soon as it came out.
I just finished the game with a friend and it was AMAZING!!! Tangle Tower was already a great game and this was more than I dreamed of and more.
I played this game as soon as I physically could and I have to say... Absolutely worth it! This is the perfect follow-up to "Tangle Tower". The story manages to be self-contained while also referring back to the previous games, making it a satisfying experience whether or not you've played "Secret of the Swamp" and "Tangle Tower"
What a marvelous story, grabbed the heart out of my chest. This was worth the long wait. Gameplay is fun, the jokes are witty and i found myself cackling at some of the gags. Such an experience.

[h2]Fantastic Murder Mystery[/h2] SFB Games already crafted phenomenal detective games with Detective Grimiore and Tingle Tower. The main characters were lovable, as they are now. Decteive Grimour and Sally spears are the main detectives in the game. As the player adventures with them and discovers mysteries with twists and turns, the storry becomes more and more intriging. The protagonists are lovable, sympathetic and witty. This helped me ease from the eerie atmosphere of the deep sea, that this game is set in. A lot of things you discover throughout are uncanny, yet interesting. What should you expect from this game? The characters are more expressive than ever. All characters are distinct, relevant and have their own flair. You progress through rooms and unravel the interwoven stories until it becomes a whole. Nothing becomes overbearing. All clues are neatly organized. This facilitates deduction you have to make throughout the game and keep track of the entirety of the story. What is new? The developers implemented 3D-Elements. The flaschbacks are now in adorable 3D-animations. More importantly, you can inspect everything in 3D. You rotate objects and find clues, which deepens the immersive experience. Puzzle are fun, yet simple. Gameplay-wise this is more laid-back. It is an enjoyable detective thriller that progresses into gratifying conclusions. The voice actors did a phenomenal job, they give the game life. I love to see the characters banther, while still meaning business. Thus, I can whole-heartedly recommend this game to everyone, since this is a well-made interactable storybook with puzzle elements.

I LOVE DETECTIVE GRIMOIRE
1 hour in and they've retained much of the charm and managed to endear me to the new characters that made me adore Tangle Tower. Loving the setting and eager to see where it goes!
Spent the whole day yesterday playing this, it was worth the wait! :D The visuals and the animations are amazing, and the soundtrack was perfect for the vibe of this game, and UI for talking with the suspects was greatly improved from last game, and I loved the puzzles too, nicely challenging with a fair hint system to go along with it and still leaving me feeling satisfied when I solved them. The story especially was great with many twists, and it all came together with everything making sense at the end! 10/10, would recommend for everyone, especially those who crave Professor Layton style puzzles.
Man I really hope we continue to get games in this series... however long they may take to develop. The puzzles are never TOO complicated yet the mystery is still wholly intriguing. There was a point where literally every character was suspect to me. The music and character design, all just absolutely beautiful. Very long game, but does not seem to hang around too long or linger. Just can't really express how much appreciation I have for this game and all of its creators. Genuinely the embodiment of what gaming is truly meant to be.
