What I love most about Detective Grimoire is that it basically makes the (sometimes tedious, but necessary) dialogue of your usual who-dun-it into its own mini-game. Soooo many detective adventure games utterly fail at "simulating" real investigation or interrogation, and this is especially difficult in the 2D realm. However, Detective Grimoire (and its sequel Tangle Tower) manages to feel pretty fresh.
You basically collect lots of evidence as the game goes on, which you then have to string together mad-lib style to make sense of it all. It's deceptively simple, but surprisingly challenging! I absolutely LOVE this mechanic and wish more games would use it. The other mini-games are fairly easy, but this is where the game really shines (aside from the lovely art and hilarious characters).
Definitely recommend (plus its sequel Tangle Tower) at full price for anyone who loves a good detective game.

I played the first fairgrounds game when I was a child and this game really holds up to the original even now as an adult. Hearing some familiar characters have voices now and finally knowing how to pronounce Grinmoire's name was fantastic.
There was a lot of subtle throwbacks to the flash game as well but small enough to where they don't completely confuse new people to the game that haven't played it.
The mystery is fun, although easy. There are a few challenging minigames, and the art is a bit awkward. It's not bad, the character designs just look kinda weird and heavily cartoonish compared to what the first game was. The backgrounds look good and the music is good.
The ending to the game hints that there's more to the universe, which there is. I haven't played the next game yet but with how Grinmoire has been holding up, I plan to.
