Detective games like Tangle Tower

Loved how mysterious and hand-drawn Tangle Tower can get? You will find a few strong contenders among these detective games.

Detective Grimoire
Detective Grimoire is called to a marsh where a tourist-trap owner has turned up dead, apparently killed by the swamp creature his own attraction is built around. You search the grounds, inspect the crime scene, grill an odd little cast of suspects, and piece Grimoire's thoughts together until the swamp gives up its secret. Short, funny, and light on hard logic.
