This colorful mystery game features Detective Grimoire and his sardonic partner Sally, who are on the hunt for a murderer in the mysterious Tangle Tower. Investigate, explore, gather evidence, question suspects and solve puzzles to discover the truth behind the murder of Freya Fellow.

In Sneaky Sasquatch, players are just that: A sneaky Sasquatch. Sneak into campsites and fill your backpack with picnic leftovers for yourself and other animals. Just don’t get caught by the cranky park ranger or let any camper see you.

The game’s update adds a new town area to explore. Just about everything is accessible if you want to start exploring, but you have to finish the first storyline in the game before starting a new adventure. You’ll need to save the park again, but you’ll have to get a job and be promoted to win. 

Down in Bermuda

Developer: Yak & Co.

Awaken the Comet God by solving tribal codes to activate a secret lava flow.
