    Even without the excellent voice acting and animation, Tangle Tower is still an interesting murder mystery full of complex characters and relationships, with an assortment of puzzles that are the right amount of challenging, varied, and narratively cohesive. But the production values of the animation and voice acting push it from being a good murder mystery into something memorable.

It is a true upgrade between the art work, the story, the music, and overall design. From the moment you start you will hear captivating voice acting which serves to bring characters to life. If you get yourself truly involved with the story, and focus on little clues throughout the way, you will find yourself excited to move forward. This game does a great job at slowly revealing things, and a lot of things you just need to pick up on yourself. At one point I audibly gasped as I realized I had already solved part of something from early on, only later to discover I was half way correct, on my way there, but of course their was a twist. The story is intelligent. The puzzles are hard enough, not so hard you will be googling tutorials although hard enough that when you finally finish a puzzle you feel accomplished.

    I highly recommend this game, as it is enjoyable, fun, mysterious, and it makes for a great interactive story.    … Full Review »

I loved a lot about the game, but the complete let down of an ending retroactively killed it entirely. What a disappointment.… Full Review »
