Detective Grimoire

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.

A delightful experience all the way through
: art, soundtrack, animation, puzzles, mystery, full voice acting, etc.
While the game's length is a bit short, there are many attractive aspects to it as a mystery game.

I had a great time on Sunday morning with this nice game!
This game will be for you too, if:
You just want to be a part of a detective without any effort and wanna play in a light, funny and laid back game..
You are looking for an inexpensive nice game for 1 evening
Or you are searching for a game for a child because it is an absolutely non-scary game (but be sure that your little man knows English).
And this will be not your option, if:
You want to solve hard mysteries: the game hasn’t them, all puzzles are very obvious and ok for elementary school
You like plots with different branches: the game is waiting patiently while you make the only possible right move, and forgives you of all mistakes that you try to make.
I hope that in a couple of years I will forget the plot and replay it

pros
✅ good looking, cartoony and colorful hand drawn background artwork
✅ intriguing story. you re an detective and you re investigating a murder in swamp
✅ deduction board and dialogue puzzles are challenging but fun to solve. You just need to follow dialogues very closely.
✅ there are too many suspicious and quirky side characters
✅ decent voice acting
✅ there is a map for fast travel
✅ a great soundtrack perfectly fits the game's style and atmosphere.
✅ well made long cartoony cut scenes
✅ there are steam achievements and cards
cons
❌ game short
❌ way too much dialogues
❌ some very easy puzzles (if you want to some challenge)
❌ I think its style and humour appeals to more children. You may find it simplistic, infantile and boring as an adult.
Overall, if you're into detective and investigation-themed point-and-click games, you're going to enjoy this one.

I was looking for something similar to Tangle Tower and I'm glad I've found this one, the first game in this series.
Thank you for unforgettable characters! Looking forward for more games about detective Grimoire!

Short but sweet, a great little game to play and I'm probably going to play it again. I would recommend checking out the next game in the series Tangle Tower as well.

First game - the online flash one - was a childhood classic and introduced me to the wonder of mystery games. This version is great with its ambiance, art, soundtrack, and lore. The puzzles are easy to figure out and the finale or the questioning as well without even the hints and all. It's pretty relaxing and fun overall and I look forward to its sequel if ever.
The downsides are minimum. Personally there wasn't much of a rising action as the culprit was kind of easily identifiable. The puzzles sometimes took time because they can be quite precise though it's not a big deal. Overall, the downsides are easy to ignore.
