Hunt for clues, interrogate eccentric suspects and untangle many brain-twisting puzzles!Įxplore the beautiful digitally-painted world of Tangle Tower, brought to you by the creative vision behind titles such as Detective Grimoire, Haunt the House, and Snipperclips. Investigate the bizarre murder case and solve the mystery clouding Tangle Tower. But there’s an immediate issue – the suspect. The lead suspect is found almost immediately, with the murder weapon in hand. All of them work perfectly fine and everyone is going to have their own ideas of what is the most comfortable.A murder? Nothing that Detective Grimoire hasn’t seen before. You can move the pointer with the stick of the joy-con or motion controls to do the pointing and clicking, or you could play the way that I did, which was to just play with the touchscreen alone. There are a few ways to control the game, which is great because it’s always nice to have some options. It’s simple in it’s execution, but it works. There are a few less traditional puzzles than I expected there to be with the game having more puzzles where you have to assemble evidence and statements to produce an answer to a question, or show the right person the right object to learn something that will help you move forward. For an example of that genre, this one stands strong. Tangle Tower is your tried and true point and click adventure game with puzzles and rubbing objects against people until progress appears. The combination of the vocal work with the animation elevates the story of the game, so much so that I played through the entire thing in one sitting. Every word that a character speaks aloud is voiced out in full, and it’s wonderful work on the part of the cast. It’s not voiced in important parts and then canned lines playing over the actual dialog. The entire thing is voice acted as well, and I mean the entire thing. The color palate really pops and gives everything an look that would be right out of a fantasy picture book, despite being a modern setting. Their designs lend towards expressing their personality through animation brilliantly. Each one is beautifully animated and expressive in a variety of ways. The screenshots that I am putting in this review do not do the characters justice. Everything from the background art to the character design is absolutely delightful in a way that just had me smiling every time that I got to see a new part of the game or a new character. I’m a bit of a nut for animation so seeing more projects coming out like this lately brings me so much joy. Please take a look at the trailer above to see what I mean. Let me just say before anything else that this game is absolutely gorgeous. Your main characters who you will spend the entire game with a witty and snarky, but are genuinely invested in figuring out exactly what’s going on that they never feel flippant or dismissive of the suspects or the victim herself. Not to mention that the characters are a blast. It’s a simple and straightforward premise but there’s a lot of fun interpersonal drama between the characters that makes it all a little more fun. There, you get to meet a cast of characters making up two different families who live in the home, discovering secrets and ultimately finding out exactly whodunnit. In Tangle Tower, you take on the role of Detective Grimoire, investigating the mysterious death of a young girl at a manor known as Tangle Tower with your assistant, Sally.
