Detective Grimoire: Secret of the Swamp, also simply called Detective Grimoire, is a murder mystery point-and-click adventure game developed by SFB Games and published by Armor Games, which was released on iOS platforms on January 2, 2014. It was later released on Android, PC, Mac, Linux and Steam by SFB Games.
The game has been well received for its mystery, animation, dialogue and protagonist. It is intended to be the first game in a True Detective Grimoire franchise. A sequel, Tangle Tower, was released in 2019.[1] However it was predated by a flash game release of the same name in 2007.
The game puts players in the role of Detective Grimoire, who comes to a tourist attraction in the swamp where a mysterious creature is the suspect of a murder. The player must go around speaking with witnesses, searching the environment for evidence, and solving puzzles that hinder their progress. At the end of the game, the player must use all the evidence and testimonies they've gathered to determine who the true culprit is.
Development
Secret of the Swamp is a successor to the original Detective Grimoire flash game developed by SFB Games (formerly The Super Flash Bros.) and published by Armor Games on their website and Newgrounds in 2007. The game was crowdfunded on Kickstarter in July 2012, raising $29,611 USD.[2] The game was followed by a sequel, Tangle Tower, which released for Apple Arcade, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows in 2019.
