I played the last Detective Grimoire and enjoyed it immensely. I was hungry for more of its unique accusation mechanic and unique character designs.
At first I was apprehensive about the art style change but upon playing the game the character animation won me over. This is the same writing team as the last giving their characters proper depth.
The pacing, puzzle difficulty, music, and dialogue are all fantastic. I can tell deep thought went into all aspects of the game. My only personal want is for there to be more instances of the accusation puzzles. They were the mechanic that sold me on The Secret of the Swamp and I enjoy how they are a small critical thinking checkup, but I understand if too many would become a pacing issue.
I hope to see more Grimoire and other intelligently designed games from SFB in the future.
