Anyone who liked Obra Dinn and Golden Idol might also like The Roottrees Are Dead. The presentation might be a little less polished, but the deduction is fun.

Her Story is also worth mentioning. Good acting, very polished presentation. Fun retro feel and a great gameplay loop. The only possible drawback is that there's no clear victory (this seems to be typical of Sam Barlow games, which are all worth playing). You're left to come to your own conclusion, which may or may not be correct.

Funeral for the Sun also came out recently. I'd call it more guess-y than Obra Dinn or the Golden Idol, but also very fun.

Other smaller games in this niche would be "Death at Fleming Manor" and "The Seance at Blake Manor", if we're collecting. Which we should. Maybe I need a blog.

Funeral for the Sun looks cool. Thanks for the recommendation.
