Knives Out

Harlan Thrombey, patriarch of the Thrombey family, is dead. The police have concluded his death was a suicide, but gentleman detective Benoit Blanc has been hired to investigate the possibility of foul play. This crime(?) is not wanting for suspects, as on the night of the incident the entire family had gathered at Harlan's semi-secluded mansion for his birthday, and Harlan conveniently gave pretty much every family member some sort of motive over the course of the party. And if the cozy mystery set-up wasn't obvious enough, Harlan had amassed his fortune through detective novels.

Tangle Tower

You wouldn’t be able to tell from the title, but Tangle Tower is the third game in the “Detective Grimoire” series—or, if you ask some people, perhaps the “second” game. Detective Grimoire started off as a free flash game way back in 2007. A full commercial game, Detective Grimoire: Secret of the Swamp was released in 2014 with a completely new art style. Since Secret of the Swamp was a complete revamp, one could argue that that is the first game... but as someone who played the original flash game way back when, Tangle Tower is unquestionably the third game.

But enough pointless history, let’s talk about fun things—like murders!
