有坑没填完呢 能不能做续作

I love this game, it has suck unique features and I love the ending. I would like to see where this series goes and I will definitely continue to buy and play this game. Thanks for making this a fun interactive experience. 😁

i’m obsessed and i’ve replayed it at-LEAST 8 times. PLEASE MAKE MORE!

The art, investigation and world-building is what I was incredibly happy to spend my money on. There were so many amazing points in the story that when I realized the game was wrapping up, I was shocked - a bunch of small plot threads were left hanging and I was left feeling disappointed with how rushed it was and the confession felt more like an info dump that didn’t really answer the questions I wanted to know the answers to the most. SPOILER QUESTIONS: What was with the love triangle? And the weird rose petal note? All we got was that it was a red herring in the gallery notes, but why? Where did the red “paint” originate from? What was up with the three sets of notes/symbols? Why was the feather in the incinerator? What was up with the broken bars in the roof garden? Why were the Hawkshaw drawings and the photo of Freya’s painting in her room? What was even up with that painting? Who left that clue in the garden? I probably have 20 more questions tbh.

Nothing is wrong with this game. Music, perfect. Voices, perfect. Art, perfect. The plot is fantastic, and I didn’t expect it AT ALL. I need a sequel. Maybe where they find where Penelope went, or find the missing five. Maybe even capture the mystids that got loose. This is me, two years later. I played the demo for The Mermaid Mask, which is the sequel, and I’m already loving it. The characters have the same vibe, ( Sally still is my favorite ), and I love the 3D interaction with clues that wasn’t there in TT. I really hope this game comes out soon so I can play it for three days straight. Also, at the end of the demo, I tried to leave the room, and Grimoire said “it seems we can’t leave this room, it’s the end of the demo”. Made me chuckle, it was a good time to break the fourth wall.

- ranch and tacos · v1.0
This game is my favorite thing EVER!!! the characters are pure GOLD and the story is awesome (I didn’t get it the first time, but after replaying, it was even better then before!). I’ve finished it around 5 times and my fav characters are Freya and Penny. For all my tangle tower fans, the demo for the second game is out, and if you haven’t played, DO IT!!! IT’S AWESOME!!!!
- Orange_Chiken2763 · v1.0
This is the most chill and fun game with real voices. The acting is great! This game was worth the 5 bucks!
- Good Vibes Only 369 · v1.0
I 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.
- FriendOfALoaf · v1.0
I 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 :)
- day.__dreamer · v1.0
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.
- Jack butler 🎩 · v1.0
I want nothing more than to add yet another Detective Grimoire game to my App Library! The story is great! The mystery and suspense are so wonderfully painful! I beg of you, please give me another mystery!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 It’s been so long since someone has made such a quality game💕
- Omicron330 · v1.0
For 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).
- confused_pufferfish · v1.0
This game is the reason I am now into visual novel mystery games so well written and so fun. I cannot wait until the new one I’m so glad I discovered it on Apple Arcade and then bought the first one and then bought it when it came out on the App Store!
- CrossFit Johnathan · v1.0
Everything was great but the ending was underdeveloped and didn’t answer a lot of questions. Felt very let down at the end.
- LISTENTOMEOK? · v1.0
This is the best game I have ever played and the new one looks awesome
- Hug-oy · v1.0
I’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.
- Legotti · v1.0
Such 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.
- basement creature · v1.0
I absolutely loved this game. The voice acting was perfect. Loved the game play and the humor. Please make more.
- Nesta Valkyrie · v1.0
It just won’t accept the right answer on the puzzle. I got about an hour of playtime before it just stopped working. I’ve checked and double checked that I’m doing the right thing.
- upsidedownyeti · v1.0
BEST GAME EVER I HAVE PLAYED IT AND FINISHED 10 TIMESSSSS
- Lielle flax · v1.0
I rate it a 100 stars!!!! I give it a thumbs up!!!!
- Kimmyfrog · v1.0
According to Screen Time, I spent about 1.5 hours in this game before finishing it, though I’m surprised it’s not closer to 3 hours. I absolutely got $5 of enjoyment from it! The character designs, animation, and music are all top-notch, and I really loved it. Highly recommend if you enjoy mysteries.
- Agnes Nutter, Witch · v1.0
So fun! My ONLY thing would be to have a difficulty level choice. There were times where I felt like it was a liiiiittle too easy (guiding the clues for instance). Overall, incredible art, gripping story, great gameplay and voice acting and music, truly one of the best games I've ever played. Only behind things like BoTW for enjoyment.
- Kalei NC · v1.0
This 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!
- Karamel1998 · v1.0
Marvelous script, execution, and interaction. Really hope to see more from these guys!
- =awesome · v1.0
A fantastic game! The writing and voice acting alone are easily worth the price tag. So it’s like getting the art and puzzles for free. And the game mechanics. I had a little trouble with the last one—but might be just me. If you played the first Grimoire, this one is in the same vein but better, more polished imo. Funnier, broader, but still scoped well. A well-crafted blend of game and story and did I mention the writing and the voice acting? =)
- CaroCaro68 · v1.0
The 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)
- nazifakalamkay13 · v1.0
If you’re looking for something in the vein of Forever Lost, The Room, or Forgotten Hill, this ain’t it. The puzzle aspect of this game is limited not particularly challenging. But the graphics, dialogue and narrative are great! And the puzzles are interesting enough to differentiate it from an actual graphic novel.
- Enteraliashere · v1.0
I love this game, it’s really good, but I have an issue with the audio, I don’t know why I can’t hear absolutely nothing even with all the volume up. I play the game in Spanish, i thought that was that the reason, but no, then I change the language to English and I still don’t hear nothing. I try close and open the game again still the same.
- mel_154 · v1.0
This game is amazing! I love this game! It’s so amazing and there are great characters great art, and most of all great story! I recommend it!
- Red_Wither · v1.0
This was an amazing game and very enjoyable to play Note to creators: Could you please by any chance create a game with detective grimoire and sally again so it’s almost the same except with a different case? I know you probably won’t but that would be amazing! Thanks!
- hhf( · v1.0
Good graphics. Otherwise not a true adventure. When I want to check something out by clicking on it, I just get a gabfest of boring conversation meant to be witty. Often when I click on something, I’m told to check out something else first. After a lot of this, I really did not want to click on anything! The game is extremely linear. There is no motion or perceived movement from one scene to another - you must always open the map and click on the destination you are told to visit next. And the talk, talk, talk… Much to tiresome for me.
- Cloud Server · v1.0
Weird, cannot figure this out, nonsensical. Judi
- jklasdtyu · v1.0
This 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.
- JDny80 · v1.0
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!
