A new Jamwitch (and friends) game is a cause for celebration in my book 🥳 I had a lovely time and highly recommend it!

I playtested this and had an excellent time. I've been a fan of Tim's games for years and this is definitely the best yet. Highly recommended!

This is such a nice little sale, with lots of lovely narrative deduction games 👀 Most of the main categories aren't super relevant if you are a deduction niche enthusiast but if you scroll to the bottom you can see the full list store.steampowered.com/curator/4589...

A Case of Fraud is in the sale with a 20% discount! Our Curious Cases bundle is especially good value right now since The Case of the Worst Day Ever by @herogameco.bsky.social is also in the sale 😎 #bossbabes lol

thank you everyone for your suggestions!! here's all the big aussie and nz-made games you should watch this year!!

So honoured to have my game's poster on @flatfootsandfools.bsky.social's awesome wall of detective games 🤩 (and relieved it passed the thorough and adorable fluffy inspection!)

Death at Sycamore Hall from @hesperusgames.bsky.social promises some magic with our mysteries in 2026. After A Case of Fraud, I was excited to see what's next, and this looks very cool. steampowered.com/app/4189100

2026 has the potential to be an even better year for detective games than last year, which had at least 46 releases! I made a thread here for upcoming games I am aware of. If I have played the Demo or Playtested it, I will describe the games a bit, as well as when they state their release dates.

Such a useful list from a detective game expert! This was a great reminder of all the small, free games out there that I really want to try, as well as the awesome Steam releases this year. Thanks for highlighting this great year for detective games!!

A Case Of Fraud from @hesperusgames.bsky.social. This is a nice game about recreating a corporate org chart with batches of evidence, and figuring out who committed the crimes. Mostly information analysis and synthesis, not search heavy like the Roottrees despite appearances. A short but good play!

Celia writes so thoughtfully about game design on Discord, so it was fun to come across her devlogs! I highly recommend playing her full catalogue of narrative deduction games - they are each quite different but her narrative voice stands out as a highlight in all of them

Death at Sycamore Hall - investigating incantations #TeaseYaGame

New game in progress 🥳 This one is a little darker, a little more Obra Dinn, a lot more magic (and there's still a cat!) store.steampowered.com/app/4189100/...

I playtested this game and loved it! It's tricky and funny and a great time. And there's a bundle with A Case of Fraud🔎

Recently got time to play A Case of Fraud by @hesperusgames.bsky.social! What a delightful several hours of evidence-poring-over and blank-filling-in. The office drama was relatable and entertaining, the pet angle charming, the end of the game nice and challenging. Highly recommended!

I've just published my full playthrough of A Case Of Fraud, a game by @hesperusgames.bsky.social that follows on the steps of the great The Roottrees are Dead. And I've enjoyed as much as that one! Watch here youtu.be/RSoigxOt6P0 #ACaseOfFraud #TheRoottreesAreDead #LetsPlay #FullPlaythrough

Tomorrow we might have to press it... if we get caught: ▶️ One more button (by @tommykjaer.bsky.social‬‬) 📑 A case of fraud (by @hesperusgames.bsky.social‬) See you LIVE on YouTube❤️+💜Twitch #puzzlegame #indiegame #livestream #youtube #twitch #onemorebutton #acaseoffraud

A Case of Fraud is a new Roottrees-like (I guess that's a genre now?) from @hesperusgames.bsky.social where instead of filling in a family tree, you're filling in an organisational chart. Great for Roottrees fans, but also as an introduction to this type of game. Watch our review below! #indiegame

New review! It's A CASE OF FRAUD, from @hesperusgames.bsky.social. If you liked THE ROOTTREES ARE DEAD, this ticks a lot of the same boxes. Read my full review: david.reviews/articles/cas...

If you liked The Roottrees Are Dead and want more games like it, you'll probably like A Case of Fraud, a very similar game that's nice and short and cute. I really enjoyed it store.steampowered.com/app/3036350/...

My detective game is about a tech startup that's making a pet translation app called Zoolingo. It was meant to be obvious satire... www.techradar.com/computing/ar...
