I’ve been playing The Case of the Golden Idol this week and I love how it doesn’t pull punches and how I actually have to figure things out without a multiple choice quiz.
A rarely mentioned cute little puzzle game that you might like is called Carto.
What are your favorite mystery/puzzle games that don’t spoon-feed you?

I’ve also been playing The Case of the Golden Idol lately. I’m not usually a big puzzle player but it’s good. I’ve just got to Case 11 which seems like another step up in difficulty. I think it might be the last chapter. I enjoyed the way it started off as a really casual spot-the-item game and has really ramped up.
You’re probably aware already, but the sequel, The Rise of the Golden Idol, was released a week or so ago. I’ve not played it yet, but likewise loved the original and its expansions, so I’m quite hopeful :)
obligatory outer wilds, the best of the metroidbranias
Portal 2 is probably still my favorite. Portal is perfect but the sequel is longer and more visually interesting, the writing is still funny and the graphics hold up. I replay it every few years and beat it a little faster each time
Stephen’s Sausage Roll is a game I will never beat. The Tower broke my brain, what I played was constantly inventive with the basic toolset it had
I heard Golden Idol is similar in to The Return of the Obra Dinn, is that true? I loved Obra Dinn and I have netflix
Edit: also I need to try Carto at some point, good rec
I would say that it’s true in that the game lets you keep a journal and will confirm information from a lot of options if they’re correct.
