And there was no penalty for getting it wrong. That made me feel that I was right there with the detectives - making the connections. It forced me to pay attention to the story arc, before revealing the next twist. I really enjoyed the story puzzle gameplay, where the game asked me to fill in the blanks, with different story objects. In Tangle Tower, there are characters who answer in poems, there is believable dialogue between characters, and there is an engaging story with many twists that kept me engaged throughout. With a lot of video game reviews, you hear the term 'great writing' mentioned, when there are just some measly scraps of notes left for cheap world-building. Otherwise, it was lots of hours of joyful exploration of a interesting world, with humorous main characters. My only complaint is the unfulfilling ending, which is so common for mystery stories. I'd personally give this game 8.5/10 (would have been at least 9.25/10 with a more fleshed out ending).Fantastic story telling and writing, top scores on animations and voice acting, and the point and click gameplay is excellent. The only downside for me was the abrupt ending. Still, it's a fantastic game with good plot, excellent characters/dialogues, nice art and some interesting puzzles. That is not to say it leaves any major plot point unexplained, but it's just that everything happens very quickly. They could've fleshed out the ending a bit more to give a proper conclusion. It's very abrupt, and goes from you figuring out everything to the end credits in a ridiculously short time. My only gripe with the game is the rushed ending. The game is very cleverly written and is quite self aware at times. There are some really good twists and turns in the story, and I liked the fact that there is an excellent use of themes, imagery and foreshadowing in the story.

The protagonists are also quite likeable, being an interesting combination of goofy and snarky. You'll end up sympathizing with quite a few characters by the end of the game. The characters look like caricatures at first, but you'll soon to begin to see common themes and parallels in all their lives. The story is really interesting and features some wacky, but layered characters. It's not too difficult, considering the game lets you know if you are close. The detective work is quite interesting, since you are often required to form your conclusions by forming a sentence from a bunch of nouns and verbs. The puzzles are mostly logical, except for a couple for which I had to consult a guide (the game has a hint system as well). They will often point you to the right person in some cases. Also, the suspects will all have unique responses about evey piece of evidence (not the usual 'I don't know about it'). You can click on nearly every object in any location, and the protagonists will have a short discussion/banter about it. Helps you figure out if you have some new evidence to present.Īnother cool thing here is the level of detail. One really good thing this game does is that it puts a tick mark over any subject/evidence you have already presented to the suspects.

You also get the option to go directly to a place when new areas or conversations gets unlocked. Plus, whenever you discover new information to question a character, their location gets marked on the map. The game tells you when you don't have the information to solve a particular puzzle. There are some quality of life improvements as well. The character designs are quite memorable, and it's cool that they gave every character their own theme music. The art and the animations look much smoother than the last one.
