“TLDR fun game, bad ending. I do not strongly recommend this game, it just feels too harsh to not recommend it. Also, I plan to play the prequel I just learned existed, so I can't be too harsh. The game style itself is…”
“[h1]Just buy it[/h1] I bought the game for $4 and it's worth an easy $10 for the quality and polish it delivers. The art, the music, and the characters are 10/10. Puzzles are fantastic. I love the "mess around with them…”
“No regrets buying this game on sale, even though the ending was disappointing. It was overall fun to play! Animations and voice acting are great. Worth the amount I paid, and I still think about this game sometimes,…”

“There’s no real punishment for picking the wrong answer, and the game gives you hints if you get stuck, so the puzzles themselves are pretty approachable. The real highlight for me was the amazing art direction and…”
“Fantastic mystery, fun puzzles & a villain that adds to the series' overarching themes? Sign me up. I cannot wait for the next one. I'm already chomping at the bit! My only problem with this game is that there isn't…”

“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,…”
