Sam & Max: Save the World

Puzzles and brain teasers

Puzzle Agent

Puzzles and brain teasers

The Darkside Detective

Puzzles and brain teasers

A funny pixel-art point-and-click adventure where Detective Francis McQueen solves short, self-contained supernatural cases. Quirky puzzles and pop-culture nods keep it light and charming rather than frustrating.

Fingered

Linear, curated structure

An absurd comedy detective sim where you deduce the culprit from conflicting witness descriptions and send them to the chair. Its appeal is the twisted humor and the subjective viewpoints of the witnesses.

Murder by Numbers

Puzzles and brain teasers

A detective puzzle game where actress-turned-sleuth Honor Mizrahi and her sassy robot sidekick solve murder cases. Clues are uncovered through Picross-style puzzles, mixed with witness interrogations and charming visual-novel dialogue.

while True: learn()

Linear, curated structure

A puzzle game where you play a machine learning specialist who solves programming puzzles by wiring up code and neural networks to translate your cat's language. Humor and cat charm wrap around genuine lessons in programming and machine learning basics.
