For anyone interested in play-time-to-price ratio, this game took me maybe 4-5 hours to complete (and I spent a lot of time messing around, clicking everything in all the rooms, and asking all the suspects about every clue). It was super fun and I enjoyed playing through all the unique rooms and I liked the voice acting for the characters. (The music was incredible!) A lot of reviews say the end is a little rushed, but I liked it all right (I felt that it needed to pick up a little speed at the end). Plenty of fun puzzles and things to click on to get dialogue between Grimoire and Sally. It’s a nice murder mystery that plays a bit like a movie (there is one ending that you will reach).

This is a great adventure game, the writing is really good, the music and settings are interesting, and it’s pretty funny at some points too. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the solution to the mystery- after all the careful world building, the ending seemed contrived, forced, and a little ridiculous. The way they crammed a bunch of totally new lore into the last 15 mins of the game after the player had ‘solved’ the mystery in order to attempt to make the convoluted ending fit with the rest of the story felt really clumsy to me. I say that only because everything else was done so well, that it caught me off guard how inelegant the ending was. Despite that, I still thoroughly enjoyed the game and would recommend it to fans of adventure and mystery games.

I’d like to request the creators expand into audio dramas with these characters between games, given the lengthy development - I would buy some easier to produce adventures with these characters. To the game, I’ll echo the common complaint that the ending is super rushed, and I wish they’d just insert another act before it to bridge the gap. But it’s so fantastically presented I recommend the journey anyway, and hopefully the next grimoire mystery will be paced a bit better - hurried or unexplained plot threads are the only flaw. The art music dialog and performance are superlative. Eager for more.
