number one game i have dreams about months after completing it.
not much to say about it that other people haven't, but i will say this: you can totally beat it without a controller, it's just a huge pain.

start to finish tangle tower is an extremely polished and unique point & click mystery. the story's fantastic, but even if it wasn't, i'd recommend it on style alone. definitely a game you play in one sitting, and spend weeks after craving more.

bad stuff out of the way first: it's a little glitchy. the combat's a little weird. there's some typos.
anyway: this is one of my favorite games of all time. the writing is insanely good. the characters are lovable/interesting. the art is gorgeous. the music SLAPS.
if you want a half game/half book experience with bizarro vibes that keeps you solidly between joy and horror at all times, you should pick up a house of many doors.

this game is like. solidly okay. it's a pretty normie point & click detective story, with kinda likable characters, kinda engaging mysteries, and jokes that occasionally made me laugh. good music and decent art. also, i think it's well meaning, but sort of racially insensitive. all in all, i just don't think they took full advantage of a premise that seems like an easy slam dunk.

i love playing it and have nostalgia for it, but it's misogynist, transphobic garbage.
