Gameplay

The game follows Detective Grimoire and his assistant Sally (who appeared in the previous game with a different hairstyle) as they travel to the eponymous Tangle Tower to solve the murder of a girl named Freya Fellow, who was seemingly killed by a painting. Players progress through the game by conversing with the various suspects and searching each room of the tower for clues. Searching the environment will often unveil puzzles that must be solved in order to obtain a new piece of evidence. When certain conditions are met, the player can question each suspect about something they're hiding.[1]

Development

The original development of Tangle Tower was put on hold after Nintendo approached SFB Games to make Snipperclips, but resumed after the game's expansion, Snipperclips Plus, was completed. Due to Apple Arcade's requirements, the game was translated into 17 different languages by Universally Speaking.[2]

Reception

Tangle Tower received mainly positive reviews, holding an 82/100 score on Metacritic.[3] The game was praised for its voice acting, dialogue, and art style.[3][4][5]

The game was nominated for "EE Mobile Game of the Year" at the 16th British Academy Games Awards.[7]
