A New Detective Grimoire Game, The Mermaid’s Tongue, Was Announced!
All the way back in 2014, I fell in love with a short point-and-click adventure detective game called Detective Grimoire.
Then, in 2022, I finally played the sequel, Tangle Tower, which I found to be quite enjoyable despite the ending feeling rushed.
At the time, we knew a sequel was in development… and today it was officially announced as part of the Day of the Devs indie game showcase in connection with the Game Awards.
This new entry in the series, The Mermaid’s Tongue, follows Detective Grimoire and Sally as they investigate a murder on a submarine. It will be out in 2024 for PC and consoles.
A demo is currently available on Steam, and while it’s pretty short, it provides a good sample of the gameplay and humor. The biggest new feature that stands out is that evidence now has 3D models that you can rotate, so that’s a nice touch.
The demo left me looking forward to the new release, although I just hope it isn’t overlooked as easily as Tangle Tower was. I don’t know why the developers aren’t using a series name to make them more recognizable, but I nearly scrolled past the headline until I saw the characters in the art.
Anyway, this was exciting news and a great start to the Game Awards announcements. Are you interested in the Detective Grimoire games?
