Detective Grimoire
Detective Grimoire is a point'n'click "whodunnit" game where you play as Detective Grimoire himself. Your task is to poke around a fairground looking for clues, and to ultimately work out who murdered Hugh Everton. Be warned though, for those of you that don't like a lot of reading in games, that's there's a whole heap of it to do in this game [subbed by winniethepooh, Jazelock & Mantari].

good game, no walk through really needed, just click items for clues and interrogate the suspects till all but one is stamped innocent. No need to read all the parts either. The final part of piecing together the crime is all just common sense.

when the detective starts to ask the suspect a question after you click "get the truth" put the cursor to the left of his face and his eyes move to the left, when the suspect is going to lie the screen flashes white and as soon as that happens move the cursor to the right of the detectives face, his eyes move right and the suspect tells the truth. No need to click when moving the cursor xxx

very good game,promising...

Tough I don't like the voices(sighs,coughs and laughs) the game is entertaining on the whole.
I prefer more point and clicking but the story keeps me going.

I also liked the credits screen :) the little toy like characters are great :)

I really love extras like this:

Completely off topic, but does anyone know where online I can find some really basis p'n'c stylee games? Or adventure, I'm quite flexible. My work has the world's oldest computers and I can't open 95% of the ones I find :(

:
I'm missing two clues... and I'm looking everywhere for them! They're on the second row, the second and fifth clues in that row.

What am I missing??

:
Playing now, it's good. But the voice acting is really annoying. Could have done quite well without it.

:
The fifth clou in second row might be

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
either the broken mirror or the pieces of mirror from the floor in crime scene.

The second might be

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
the oil on the ground outside crimescene

Comment 29, Friday, July 6th 2007 03:33:39 PM

Carlymau

:
kristen, have you tried talking to the suspects a second and third time?? more conversation topics are added

Comment 30, Friday, July 6th 2007 03:36:18 PM

Gruftschlampe

:
@Carlymau: Sounds to me, if you would be missing the clue with the cut wire of the water-spender....

Comment 31, Friday, July 6th 2007 03:36:36 PM

Carlymau

Comment 36, Friday, July 6th 2007 04:27:54 PM

Mike

:
that was quite easy, but still had good graphics and a good story.

Comment 37, Friday, July 6th 2007 06:34:39 PM

April

:
Great game. I recommend everyone take a look at the "Making Of" feature. It really shows how much work it takes.

Comment 38, Friday, July 6th 2007 06:39:44 PM

Mariapuuro

:
nice

Comment 39, Friday, July 6th 2007 07:01:00 PM

Jas

:
perhaps, instead of " there's a whole heap of it", how about "Library" for a collective noun for reading?..."there's a whole library of it"..there, that looks better!

Comment 40, Friday, July 6th 2007 07:15:08 PM

Jas

:
I don't like "heap" in case you hadn't noticed, Graeme.

Comment 41, Friday, July 6th 2007 07:15:54 PM

Fiddlejock

:
The "get the truth" won't work for me! It just jumps right back to the detective saying he's missing something.

Comment 42, Friday, July 6th 2007 07:40:31 PM

:
WooHoo!

Comment 44, Friday, July 6th 2007 09:03:03 PM

KAOK

:
This game is dull. Too much clicking for the same info.

Comment 45, Friday, July 6th 2007 10:31:13 PM

Its a heap

:
ya jas because its a whole library of it makes a whole lot of sense
*rolls eyes* :)

SEQUEL! SEQUEL! Please give sequel!

Angel

:
I loved this game! And I was actually able to finish it totally on my own, which is rare for me (the second I run into trouble I sprint to the nearest walkthrough). Good stuff!

Oh, and when you finish, make sure you check out "the making of". It's really interesting.

Clueless

:
i'm very frustrated, i can't do anything, i've talked to everyone about all five topics but still have more than one suspect
