Reviews Nintendo Switch 2 The Mermaid Mask Review (Switch 2) Sub-lime Version Reviewed: European review by Roland Ingram 49 mins ago Share: Captured on Nintendo Switch 2 (Handheld/Undocked) SFB Games’ Detective Grimoire series has gone from strength to strength as it has plotted its course from flash game to iOS to consoles. This time, the sleuthing twosome, Sally and Grimoire, arrive on Switch 2 with The Mermaid Mask , putting a fresh new murder mystery straight into your hands. It’s a classic setup: a pair of detectives arrive at a small seaside town to investigate a confounding crime. One Captain Mortuga has apparently been killed on his submarine in inexplicable circumstances. A motley grab bag of suspects inhabit the boat, improbably including a psychic, a body builder, a famous author and more. The game, then, is in the form of one big puzzle.
Although you will explore environments and collect items, this is not an unravelling story in the style of a traditional point-and-click adventure. It’s more of a web of facts and happenings and versions of events that need to be explored and pieced together. It brings a little taste of deduction from Case of the Golden Idol , a sprinkling of vibrant irreverence from Lost in Play , and a pinch of Monkey Island ’s playful cynicism. That’s a tasty cocktail.
