Detective Grimoire & Tangle Tower
Date: 2021-08-07 09:12 am (UTC)Media: Video games
Approx length: First game, 2.5 hours. Second game, 4 hours.
Where to find it: Detective Grimoire is on iOS, Android or Steam (for Windows or Mac). Tangle Tower is on Apple Arcade, Steam or Nintendo Switch.
What is it, in summary? The Detective Grimoire series covers two mysteries being solved by the eponymous Detective Grimoire. The first is the murder of the owner of a swamp attraction park that markets itself as the home to a swamp cryptid.
The second, and juiciest of the two, is set in Tangle Tower, where it seems that someone was murdered by a painting(!). One half of the tower is the home of the Pointer family, the other the Fellow, and the family have a complex relationship with each other.
In each, you interview the suspects, ask questions, piece together clues and solve small puzzles. They are very small, self-contained games. They both have fun with "impossible" murder concepts (the second in particular) and build the stories nicely.
What do you love about it? The second in particular has gorgeous art, fun characters and very dysfunctional families, as well as a villain who I adored. I played this one first, actually, so fell in love with Sally as the sidekick, as well as how much of the story we get to see develop through the conflicts between and within the families.
The first isn't quite as pretty or meaty, but I do like Gimoire's tenacity about solving the case, as well as a lot of the characters.
They're both small games that are well-written, really well voice-acted and genuinely fun mysteries. And they can be played on mobile!
What sort of things are you likely to request for it? I'm mainly requesting casefic for Detective Grimoire & Sally as a platonic pair, further expansions of the Tangle Tower story or crossovers with other canons I've requested or written before.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests? Tangle Tower is pretty self-contained (I played it first, not realising there was another game!) and is what cements he and Sally's dynamic, since Sally is v different in the first. It's also much, much more aesthetically appealing.
Content warnings: I can't think of anything except for the murders that take place before the beginning of the story.
