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!

This game (Shadows of Doubt) is in early access but is super promising so far. I'm in love with it!

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.

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
