A solid game, but the ending/plot-twist hurts it a lot As it says in the title, this game is overall a very solid point-and-click murder mystery. Great voice acting, nice cartoony style, fun characters, decent logical puzzles, but it stumbles hard at the end, asking you to accept a conclusion that goes against the gameplay and enforces an incredible level of incompetency to our protagonists. Down/Negative Because the negative is tied to the ending, I am marking the discussion of it in the spoilers. Two characters are revealed to be one and the same. Giving the “villain”, not just a sharp change in personality, one that has not -or at best very faintly- been alluded to. In fact, it makes one of the other side mysteries including said character appear out of place. It gives a bigger problem regarding the gameplay. BOTH characters could be accessed throughout the investigation stage. In two locations, with completely different attire, and your no meaningful way for them to “switch persona” between meeting them and cut your characters off before getting there. Making gameplay clash with the story. If they wanted such a switch to be possible, one character would have to be more unpredictable in where and when they showed up. Leaving it incredibly disappointing when you are essentially revealed a completely new character when the game is wrapping up. Up/positives Essentially everything that does not touch the ending is a positive. A colorful and wonderful cast of characters once more. Lovely sound and voice acting. Fun style. Having a great duo of protagonists, that work well with one another and give some lovely banter. If you only want to try out one game in the series, go for ‘The Mermaid Mask’, but as long as you can handle a disappointing ending to the mystery, I would say ‘Tangle Tower’ is also worth your time. Certainly not the worst ending in a point-and-click mystery title I have played, though is a low for this specific series so far.
Charming, light, cozy puzzle-detective game that has the energy of some of the DS greats like Professor Layton , Ace Attorney , and Touch Detective. Beautiful character animation and pretty strong voice acting. I didn't guess the killer right before the reveal, but I had a lot of fun figuring out the hows and whys of the murder, which are all reasonable with the clues given. Good for a lazy weekend and playing with kids.
This is the second point-and-click adventure of Detective Grimoire available on Steam, but it is pretty much stand-alone and not a sequel. It's probably why it's not mentioned anywhere on the store page. The advantages of playing Dectective Grimoire first are that it's cheaper, easier and shorter. However, Tangle Tower is improved in almost every aspect, including graphics. Very good characters with personality. Excellent voice acting all around especially for Grimoire's assistant, Sally. The soundtrack was unobstrusive and lovely, with music suitable for each suspect. I loved the art style. It was different and distinctive. I also liked the little character animations when characters talked (or not in the case of Flora) very much although they tended to repeat. Lots of described hotspots and clues, which is something I particularly appreciate in a mystery game. No hotspot indicator, but it wasn't necessary. No inventory and therefore no traditional inventory-based puzzles, but case files and self-contained logic puzzles. Pretty clever puzzles and I don't recall seeing them used before. They might not have been lying about the "unique puzzles" on the store page. They could be challenging, but I was never stuck that long because of gradual hints given when you failed. The best part for me, constructing deductions out of images and sentence fragments, was back but there seemed to be fewer of them. Or perhaps they were more spaced out. I enjoyed solving each suspect's personal mystery. I think they were optional, but I'm not sure. The overall murder mystery was quite smartly done except for a few plot holes, and that long confession followed by an abrupt ending. Tangle Tower was a very good game and I'm looking forward to the upcoming case: The Mermaid Mask.
