Features & Capabilities

Reception: Critics praise its focused design and engaging clues. 'Definitely one of the better crime games I've played and it's a treat to experience' — Mark Brown.

User Reviews

Detective Grimoire is praised for its engaging mystery, charming hand-drawn visuals, strong voice acting, and Grimoire’s witty humor, delivering a satisfying detective experience with clue-based progression. Fans especially note the atmospheric audio, intriguing characters, and the sense of solving a case rather than following a script. However, several recurring concerns appear: crashes and instability on devices, a relatively short playtime with some reviewers wishing for more depth or extra content, and puzzles that some players find too easy. The ending also feels abrupt, leaving many hoping for a proper sequel.

Humorous, witty Grimoire character and dialogue
High-quality audio, voice acting, and music
Beautiful visuals/animation and character designs
Satisfying detective gameplay with clues and deduction

Cons

Crashes frequently / stability issues on devices
Relatively short length; not a long game
Puzzles feel easy / not very challenging
Ending feels abrupt; desire for more content or a proper sequel

I had played tangle tower before this game and loved it check out my review on that game I figured out about this game afterwards Hungry for another adventure with Grimoire and it’s a lot better than I expected full of fun and interesting characters Grimoire’s sarcastic humor would always leave me with a smile they say the game is to short but I think it’s a reasonable time it was the first game with him I think the games can only get better another complaint i read was that it crashes a lot but I’ve only had this happen once and it does auto save frequently so I wouldn’t be to worried if you need a new type of game and are a fan of mystery than this is the game for you $3 very well spent.

This is definitely a murder mystery game you really don’t wanna miss out on; the fact that it’s animated, has great audio, and voice acting AND has a very good storyline just amazes me. if you are looking for a murder mystery game that has unique characters and a funny detective then I highly suggest this one. Tangle Tower holds a dear place in my heart so, when I found this I was extremely happy, and believe me, y’all are gonna want to download this extraordinary masterpiece-and you DEFINITELY won’t regret it :3 Ps: thank you to the people who made this amazing game, I hope to see more people play it and I also hope there will be more games like it ;3

From the second I downloaded the game to the very end I couldn't put it down. Everything was perfect. The music was beautiful and the characters had so much story to each one of them. The only mistake I noticed was that when asked, Folder had no interest in himself. Other than that, this has been my favorite app in a very long time. Still...a year+ later I want a sequel. I've played it multiple times but I just want more. 2020 EDIT: the sequel was incredible and again, I’m left needing more!
