Fun game
Sat Jan 18 2025 confused_pufferfishFor anyone interested in play-time-to-price ratio, this game took me maybe 4-5 hours to complete (and I spent a lot of time messing around, clicking everything in all the rooms, and asking all the suspects about every clue). It was super fun and I enjoyed playing through all the unique rooms and I liked the voice acting for the characters. (The music was incredible!) A lot of reviews say the end is a little rushed, but I liked it all right (I felt that it needed to pick up a little speed at the end). Plenty of fun puzzles and things to click on to get dialogue between Grimoire and Sally. It’s a nice murder mystery that plays a bit like a movie (there is one ending that you will reach).
A fun adventure, with a story that doesn’t make sense.
Thu Oct 12 2023 JDny80This is a great adventure game, the writing is really good, the music and settings are interesting, and it’s pretty funny at some points too. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the solution to the mystery- after all the careful world building, the ending seemed contrived, forced, and a little ridiculous. The way they crammed a bunch of totally new lore into the last 15 mins of the game after the player had ‘solved’ the mystery in order to attempt to make the convoluted ending fit with the rest of the story felt really clumsy to me. I say that only because everything else was done so well, that it caught me off guard how inelegant the ending was. Despite that, I still thoroughly enjoyed the game and would recommend it to fans of adventure and mystery games.
Artfully Done
Sat May 04 2024 LegottiI’d like to request the creators expand into audio dramas with these characters between games, given the lengthy development - I would buy some easier to produce adventures with these characters.
To the game, I’ll echo the common complaint that the ending is super rushed, and I wish they’d just insert another act before it to bridge the gap. But it’s so fantastically presented I recommend the journey anyway, and hopefully the next grimoire mystery will be paced a bit better - hurried or unexplained plot threads are the only flaw. The art music dialog and performance are superlative. Eager for more.
A suspiciously good game
Fri Jun 27 2025 Jack butler 🎩A wonderfully made game with beautiful art great voice actors and amazing story it’s a mystery about a murder you will encounter many interesting people and solve puzzles and find out who has killed Freya Fellow it took some real Witts to find out some of these puzzles every conversation with these characters is either pure joy or great suspicion. A few people say that the end raps a little too quick but I think that it ended perfectly and wasn’t too quick great game $5 well spent.
So unique and amazing!
Tue Jul 01 2025 day.__dreamerI love all of the puzzles (they’re just the right amount between moderate easy — bit challenging) as well as the art style and storyline. The voice acting is so awesome and well done! The mechanics of the game runs so smoothly it makes it so enjoyable to play! Playing this game the first time definitely made me crave for more! I got secrets of the swamp (also a fantastic game) and cannot wait for more soon with Detective Grimoire and Sally! Big thank you to everyone in these projects :)
THANK YOU SFB GAMES!
Sun Aug 10 2025 FriendOfALoafI LOVE the Detective Grimore series! Part of my childhood. The wonderful story, art and nostalgic music make it my favorite game series of all time. I don’t wanna hurry the developers, but please finish the third game in the series, I am eager to play it! I also love nautical themes as that seems to be the style of the new game. I got a friend to play it and most of my family, and of course I’ve also played secret of the swamp. This is the first comment I’ve ever wrote, I certainly wanna dedicate it to my favorite game.
Love this game
Sat Nov 25 2023 Karamel1998This is truly some of the most gorgeous work I’ve ever seen in a point and click. The puzzles are frustrating, but solvable enough that you never truly give up. The characters are entertaining and intriguing in their own right. The soundtrack and design is phenomenal and I even listen to the music while I work. I’ve been hoping for a new Grimoire game, but I’ll accept the app. I own it on every platform and have gifted it to everyone I know. Wonderful!
So good!
Thu Oct 05 2023 MamaKJ.I was so excited to see that Detective Grimoire is back! I loved The Secret of the Swamp, so I had high hopes for Tangle Tower. I was not disappointed! It’s every bit as good, maybe even better than TSotS. The gameplay was pretty similar, with some fun differences thrown in. The voice actors were fantastic and the humor was legitimately funny. I do wish it was longer, but that’s just because I like it so much. I wouldn’t consider it a short game. Five stars!
This game is so amazing But…
Sun Mar 10 2024 basement creatureSuch a fun game it makes me feel so happy, but when I was at the end, I really had to search up some guide because I really could not get past that little maze level where you had to sort the puzzle I got super confused and I had no idea what to do. It’s a little too hard for me, but if anyone smarter than me which I very much think everyone is then highly recommend.
Unsatisfactory ending
Tue Nov 14 2023 nazifakalamkay13The game has really nice graphics, great characters and good dialogue. However, the ending did not make sense and it felt too far fetched. We didn’t really solve it either as the person just admitted to the crime. It did not all come together quite as nicely you would expect in the end. I wish there was more of an aspect to come to your own conclusions and leads rather than the game constantly telling you what you need to do. With some improvements, it would definitely be a great game (hopefully a longer one)
