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. 'Detective Grimoire is a better detective game than the likes of, say, L.A. Noire [...] The designers knew what they wanted the game to be and ensure that nothing got in the way of it.

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.

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.
