No Murders in Grimwick is a short, cosy point and click mystery. You are a journalist covering a small town's harvest festival when a local turns up dead, displayed in the scarecrow competition. You explore the hand-drawn fair, question odd townsfolk, collect and use items, and work out what happened, with no combat or time pressure. It suits solo players who want a spooky-season evening mystery.
Steam reviews are very positive (47 of 52). Players love the hand-drawn look and the creepy but cosy autumn mood, and call it a sweet whodunit made by a single developer.
Almost every review mentions length: most finish in under an hour, some in 40 minutes, and several say the mystery is very simple. Critics feel the price is high for that, and one notes there is no soundtrack. Buy it on sale if you want a cute one-sitting mystery; skip it if you want a real detective challenge.
