Looking for some games where it feels like you’re actually trying to solve something with the clues and secrets you uncover. For example, Disco Elysium actually made me feel like a detective despite how wacky and surreal it could be.

I haven’t played LA Noire yet but that’s on my list. Anything else I should check out. TIA!

      Shadows of Doubt is probably the closest thing to a pure detective game. It’s definitely a bit rough around the edges, but the core concept is really cool. I had a lot of fun playing it even in its current state, and look forward to coming back once it’s further along in development.

      This is what I came to recommend. I’m actually waiting for it to exit early access (or at least cook a bit longer), but it looks like a detective game wet dream.

      I can’t get it out of my mind, only reason I haven’t bought it yet is because I don’t want to experience an inferior version of it.

        Yeah I def get what you mean. I have a lot of games in early access on my wishlist that I want to wait for the EA period to end.

        But for this one, with each case being different and randomly generated, I felt like I could experience it now without diminishing any experience I’d have when it has a full release

      It’s really fun but still kinda rough around the edges. I wish there other games like this that are fully fleshed out and complete.
