Detective Grimoire

Totally worth $1.39 (or more)! This is a cute little detective game with some great writing and characters. If you're coming here from Tangle Tower be aware that this one was much earlier so it's not as polished - and the puzzles are nearly non-existent. You're just here for the deducing and the writing, not the puzzling. I had a fun three hours, there's really no padding, all content.

Nice detective adventure game with pleasant graphics, music and voice acting. Short one, only 2.5 hours of gameplay. Interesting investigation system with suspects, clues, etc. 9/10.

It's a neat little detective game with lots to explore. Sometimes I had the feeling, that I did not explore enough but a lot of clues for a solution can be found in more than one place and that absolutely helps in completing deductions even if a little part of information is missing.
I loved the general flow of the story of getting to know all the characters and asking them questions, although the "thinking process" part needed a little getting used to at first.
I also like a lot that it gives you a little sound cue if you did the right or wrong thing at crucial questionings, so it's actually nearly impossible to get stuck in a conversation.
Also the voice actors did a really neat job.
Overall really nice concept and execution.

It is a great Short game with a lot of style and animation. It is a bit easy when came to puzzles. If you looking for a short click-and-point adventure to do in an evening this is a good one. I will be checking the next game in the series .

Cool little point and click detective game. Not that long and not really challenging either. It all makes sense quite easily with a little bit of logic. Quite satisfying how it all clicks into place. Had a few issues with the audio randomly going extremely loud out of nowhere but other than that very cool game for a short bit of fun and to get your brain thinking

I played this game after Tangle Tower. This is a much simpler game, but it was fun to find hints about later events in the series and to see Sally's old design. Justice for Boggy!

Definitely good game.
Simple graphics, but good-looking.
A bit unusual interface for the point'n'click sort of games. You don't see your character walking in the village, so you are like in "observe" mode through his eyes, and to go to other locations you should click on "walk mode" button and then on arrows button to instantly teleporting to other location. It's not convenient if you want to walk several locations in the row, but for example you can fast-travel using the map.
Lots of stuff in the interface are confusing at first, but then you study all the buttons on your screen, everything becomes pretty clear, and you get used to it.
Controls: you are using only a mouse.
Good sounds and voiceover, pretty good soundtrack. A little intense, but overall not annoying. I'd say even kinda beautiful sometimes: when female vocals without words for example.
Good and interesting plot, good dialogs. The strongest "pros" of this game, I think.
I like all characters of this game, they all have their cute "style", in my opinion. I like the main character {detective Grimoire}: he's not a sharpest tool in the shed, but not too stupid, and he is nice guy {well, maybe except jokes about dead...}. Btw, I didn't find any "laughable" jokes here, it's not main point here, however I still felt when the conversations were in a cheerful manner, and it was nice.
This game has a good detective component, an interesting solution, a fairly logical plot for my taste. It feels like the developers did care about the game. It always leaves good feelings to players.
I'd say that "puzzling minigames" here are for the 5-7 years old children. That's not the main point of the game. But still that minigames add some "ambiance" and add variety to gameplay. Puzzles with detective's sentences were interesting for me.
I usually never use hints in games, but it seems that if you are struggling, game suggests you help in several ways: option to ask policeman NPC, advice from detective himself, detailed instructions before some tasks, or just trying each combination one by one.
Game is kinda short, but that's ok. I beat it in 4 hours, with all the achievements, without taking a look in any guides.
In total: Worth buying with a discount {or in a bundle}. Interesting plot and dialogs. Good for spending several hours. Light and relaxing game. Good visual style.
