"The latest of Steam's creative weekly sales has just gone live, and this time it's a Detective Fest. But rather than become entangled in red string as you try to pin all the available games to your enormous pinboard, we've inspected the selection through our microscope, whittled down the suspects, and then performed yet another detective cliche, to select the most suspicious(ly good) games for you to interrogate."
"The Ratline is the latest from the studio, due out in March, once again asking you to piece together a mystery from an array of clues and documents. This time things are set in 1971 and have you hunt down Nazi fugitives after the murder of a priest, and who doesn't need a little Nazi hunting just now? There's a demo out for Detective Fest."
"There's also a demo for the upcoming Surradia: An Art Retrospective, a detective game about investigating the disappearance of three magical artists who vanished during World War II. That means scouring photographs, reading letters, and of course paying close attention to artworks, all found in a museum, as you try to unpick the mystery. There's no official release date for the game yet, but the demo"
Steam's Detective Fest sale gathers detective and investigative games across mainstream and indie releases. Investigative games have grown in popularity, with indie titles achieving mainstream success. The sale lists Blue Prince, Rise of the Golden Idol, Return of the Obra Dinn, and Disco Elysium while highlighting deeper, lesser-known picks. Owlskip, creator of family-tree-like detective games such as Riley & Rochelle and Family, will release The Ratline in March; players piece together clues and documents to hunt Nazi fugitives in 1971 after a priest's murder, and a demo is available. Surradia: An Art Retrospective presents museum-based investigation into three artists who vanished during World War II; a demo is available and no release date has been announced.
