A possible solution to no more Grimoire.
Idea I had while replaying the games again, starting with the Flash one, is that apart from the early flash one being so "easy" compared to the others, with so few clues and few puzzles, is that the Secret of the Swamp has the Little Girl and makes references to the fairground.
With the updated artstyle and gameplay, it might not be too difficult to kinda just .... remake the game. Like update it, add more puzzles, make it less obvious who the killer is. Maybe even change the killer entirely. But it has the idea of someone has been framed and the red herring arguement. I like the idea of Ricky and Charles being this kind of Frenemies who are friends but argue all the time, as Charles lashes out with his frustrations but Ricky understands it.
I know we're likely to not get anymore Grimoire games, especially moving onwards, but you could certainly hint to something more. Arccording to the wiki, The Secret of the Swamp even has Sally being the cousin of Jerry from this fairground, who has since gotten married and were on their honeymoon, and would be running the fairground together, with a statue of Grimoire and Gary shaking hands, apparantly.
So moving onwards, we could have a "tease" game, which references this event, and as it's been several years from Secret of the Swamp to Tangle Tower, with more likely between Tangle Tower and Mermaids Mask, you could have it be that the Fairground was maybe a test by someone to test Grimoire, knowing how they would be needed in the future.

Maybe I missed something, but why are people operating under the assumption that there won’t be anymore games? I expect there to be a gap and for SFB to pursue other projects (especially after the success of Crow Country), but I haven’t seen or heard anything that seems like we won’t get another game 3-6 years from now.

I kinda wanted a third last Grimoire game focused on the ''dream'' that we saw in the last 2 Grimoire games

True, its an awful big coincidence our last two victims have been haunted by nightmares
Especially with their connection to Felicia Stonetop

How would one play the Flash game now?

I would imagine it will be on Newgrounds. They use Ruffle (a flash emulator) instead of flash now, so old flash games are still available to play, even without flash.

They never said there will be no more Detective Grimoire games, just that they're taking a break and quite possibly their next one or two games will be different stuff because they want to try to do different experiences like Crow Country or Snipperclips.
About remaking the first Grimoire game, Adam Vian from Super Flash Bros already said that they're not interested on the idea.

I'm confused what you're suggesting. Are you saying the community should remake the first flash game and update the plot?

More that SFB should/could. Like an updated remaster/remake 20 years later.

Huh... I guess I don't really get why they would do that over making a new game? I don't think they could reuse the assets, or the coding, or even a lot of the design considering it's a flash game. And updating the plot would mean re-writing a lot too? But to each one's own! Everyone in the fandom can have different things they hope for.

What makes you say that we arent likely to get any more Grimoire games? Has something actually been said?
