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?

    This would have to be Braid. They just remastered it recently when Netflix invested into them. Probably the toughest puzzle game I’ve played.

    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.
