Great improvement from the previous game. The ending is not the most satisfying but it sets up for something bigger, like the loose ties in Detective Grimoire.
I love games, but every so often, one becomes my happy place. Something in the writing, the characters, the performances, the game play just inspires my imagination. Tangle Tower is one of those games. I wholly recommend the entire Detective Grimoire series!
It doesn't reach the heights of Mermaid Mask in terms of storytelling or dialogue, but it's still worth playing. I do hope the unanswered questions in the overarching series are addressed before I die of old age. The devs definitely seem to be building up to something grandiose, but I fear that much like GRRM, they may end up writing themselves a plot too elaborate to ever tie up.
