OverviewOverview

Tangle Tower is a murder mystery game, from the same developer as Snipperclips, where you explore a grand old house and it’s intertwining families to solve a mysterious murder. You are given the events of the murder, each persons movement and a range of items to find. From this you must construct the events that precipitated the killing.

It is a sequel to the 2014 game Detective Grimoire. You follow Detective Grimoire and his assistant Sally to progress by conversing with the various suspects and searching each room of the tower for clues. This often turns up puzzles that must be solved in order to obtain a new piece of evidence. When certain conditions are met, the player can question each suspect about something they're hiding.

It’s all fully voiced and depicted in stylised cartoon graphics. This gives it the feel of a Cluedo whodunit rather than anything darker. It’s a great game to investigate together and team up to decipher what happened.
