(If you think about it, Tom & Jerry had so much violence in it, but with its presentation...)

lol, yeah your right about that, and the simpsons make lovely fun about that fact with ichy and scratchy

We might discuss if that's not enough for a recommendation, but I think as long as shortcomings, like a short play time, are addressed, it's fine.

it's worth a recommendation because you would recommend it, that is already enough, i didn't try to argue against it. :)

I liked your sentence about the game being something for kids as well. I didn't think about it but you are absolutely right. Although it is about something serious (a murder case), it still is more about funny characters and a riddiculus suspect.

The game is[...] more of the kind that might offer you a pleasant Sunday afternoon.

that's exactly what i did with it :D I was bored on a sunday, saw in my wishlist that it is on sale and just went for it.

The achievments worked well for me. I even thought about adding that it's not hard to 100%, but I guess that's not important to most of our readers (and rightfully so). I played it quite some time ago, maybe it broke later on?

If i check them ingame they are achieved, but steam still says 0/9. I already mentioned it in the community hub without any response.

I just saw we reviewed Detective Grimoire. I just bought the game two weeks ago myself and i was a bit disappointed. Although it was funny and as the review says there is very good voice acting, the game took my only about 3h to finish and there wasn't anything challenging about it. I do not regret buying it because it was on sale and I had some good laughs but all in all i expected more from it. It runs smoothly on gnu however, only the achievments don't work.

How about you? Did it meet your expectations? Did the achievments work for you? Anything else to ad ;P ?
(There are probably not a lot of people here who have played it since it is a hidden gem after all but it might be worth having its own threat to talk about it.)

it is a pitty, i was really looking forward to it, and i really appreciate it, but it would be a waste, if it laid round in my inventory.

Had this lying around for quite some time now.

Thanks a lot, but i just noticed that it is windows only, so i won't be able to play it some time soon, so just send me a trade button if you want it back.
But still thanks for the gesture :)

Looks a bit like Invi?ible Inc.
Any compairison?

Crookz uses pausable realtime with a planning phase, while Invicible Inc. seems to be turn-based. And it has got handcrafted locations, nothing random.
In the end, it felt more like a puzzle game. If I use this, I can get there, fetch the thing which I need to open the next door and so on. But you can take different people with different abilities on each raid, and choose the items you take with you, so it's not a predefined single path you can take.

that was a good review :D
i really prefere turnbased, especially when you gotta think and strategize a lot. I like games where the difficulity doesn't lie in the controlling but in the game itself (there are exceptions of course).
Further i like the fact you can swap your character :) otherwise it usually gets "same old - same old" pretty quick.

In my humble opinion, it's one of the best point and clicks in computer game history. It started as a bachelor work I think, and the guy invested so much time and love in it. You can talk with Harvey about almost every item you get (and you get a lot of items), and he always has something interesting or funny to say. And the story, well... you haven't seen all of it.

When I had finished it, I immediately looked at their website if they hire programmers. For the second part, I've been to Hamburg for play testing. They told us it's not affordable to do such a game a second time with all those lines of text...

Now you made me curious.
-> added to wishlist

EDIT: Never mind; I found it under member settings. That was hiding in a weird place on mobile though: I had to do a page swipe into a completely empty page on the right, and then scroll all the way up to the top to find a small hamburger icon to open up the settings menu.

oh nice one, i am suprised how many offers we got.
i accepted SINKR now, and will look into it, as soon as it is downloaded, some games even look AAA (so it would be nice to have them, but they don't really suit "hidden gems")

Try now. :)
