Detective Grimoire

Detective Grimoire

Game • 2007

At 10:28 last night, a body was found at the local Fairground that operates just outside of town. The cleaner, one Jerry Spears, discovered the dead body of his former colleague, Hugh Everton, inside the Hall of Mirrors. All the evidence points towards murder. The clown, Charles Ringer, who works at the very same fairground, is the main suspect. He seems to have some less than favourable links with the victim. If this grim case remains unsolved, the Fairground Manager, Mr Gary Coils has stated he will have to "permanently shut down operations." Private Detective Grimoire has been called in to clear things up. We've got one evening to find the truth about what happened last night. If Grimoire can't solve this mystery, no one can.
