Detective Grimoire follows the eponymous investigator as he heads to Boggy's Bog, a tourist attraction named after a cartoon character in the game's universe. In this unusual location, there has been a murder: the owner of the Bog, Richard Remington, was found dead by his office in the previous day, and the prime suspect is... Boggy himself. Ever the skeptical, Grimoire sets out to uncover the truth behind the dreadful night's events.

It's a well-rounded point-and-click detective story. You'll move around different parts of the theme park, meeting suspects and accumulating profiles and clues in your inventory, which you can use to press any suspects further. The in-game menus allow you to keep track of every piece of information obtained thus far, as well as the level of suspicion of each person you meet.

The investigation is made even more entertaining by the top-notch presentation. Each character is skillfully animated during in game conversations, and there are short, fully animated clips at certain points of the game that add to the storytelling. The characterization also owes a lot to the voice acting, which is exceptional for a game with such a low price tag. Also surprising is the quality of the soundtrack.

Detective Grimoire is a sure recommendation for mystery fans. It's a competent and inexpensive game that entertains and doesn't overstay its welcome, so by all means, try it out.
