Just wanted to put a blerb about this. A few days ago, I saw a game called Detective Grimoire. I thought nothing about until I saw it on Apps Gone Free, and the description said it was "made for Ace Attorney fans". Since it was free for a temporary time, I figured I would check it out. What I found was a game that was very much it's own game, while implementing the investigation style of Ace Attorney. You play as detective Grimoire, a detective assigned to a murder case at a tourist attraction, in the middle of a swamp. It features lots of talking to people and features a fully voiced cast. With a turnabout worthy of our favorite ace attorney, I highly recommend this game. As I said, I got it free, but it is $3.99 now. And I would happliy pay that price for such a well made game. Due note, it is relatively short, and there are a few times it sounds like the voice actors are using less-than-high-quality microphones. A good game. And one that I recommend to all of you. It also on Steam feturing it's own trading cards. It is also $6.99, so, at your own choice.

Before that version came out, they also made a free flash version. ...Honestly, I kinda like the graphic style of the original better xD

Not bad games, but... I don't think super-great or anything. Can't really put my finger on why though.

Might be because it was so short. It just seems like one of those games that you don't see very often.

It's a neat game (I got it on steam) but also pretty short and fairly easy.

I believe it was created by original members of Super Flash Bros and Double Helix from Newgrounds. If you frequently visited Newgrounds around 10 years ago your bound to know some of their animations (Decline of Videogaming) or games (The Legend of Zelda and the Lampshade of No Real Significance).

But what it lacks in length and difficulty it makes up in quality. It has very solid animations and the A+ voice cast from Newgrounds, making the characters really pop in my opinion. Also Detective Grimoire himself has a good mix of being smart and cocky, making him a very like-able detective.

That's pretty accurate. You're enjoying it so far?

In case anyone's interested, this game is part of the current Humble Weekly Bundle. First tier, so you can get a Steam key for only a dollar.
