Gamers: Are there detective video games?

Are there any video games where you play as a detective and have to go solve murders, look for clues, solve puzzles?

I thought Paradise Killer was a cool surrealist fantasy/sci-fi take on a murder mystery.

The Plainscreek Killings is an incredible detective game.

Thanks for the suggestion! On what platform is this game on?@CountScrofula

@SW-User PC only but I think the game would run on a graphing calculator it's a low-graphics indy game but the detective stuff is really brilliant.

Return of the Obra Dinn is also a brilliant mystery game on every platform.

Probably not exactly what you're looking for but The Wolf Among Us is fun to play

Disco Elysium my dude. I made a detective who was super into communism and was a jerk who hit kids 🤣

Absolutely. Aviary Attorney is one of my favorites. You are a hawk named Hawk, and you work as a defense attorney. You are assisted by a sparrow named Sparrow.

@LordShadowfire smooth I saw what they did there

@Cosmicmicrowave I love it because you get to play detective, and the entire game is based on a series of 19th century paintings.
