Mystery Games

[maniacalpha1-1]

I haven't played any, so the only example I can give is the Nancy Drew games I've seen in stores. I'm sure there are more.

Basically, are any of these any good? Not just the ND ones though, I'm sure there are plenty more if I dig through game lists. It's OK if they are puzzle oriented as long as they still have a good storyline and cutscenes...

i guess there must be some free browser games with some mystery story - i like more historical stuff however like grepolis or fortune online...

The Ripper is suposed to be decent I think... Then again anything with Christopher Walken in is has to be decent... GoG has some Mystery games I think. Under a Killing Moon? Not sure can't remember the name for sure.

A lot of games labeled as "adventure" might fit the bill. Syberia and Still Life come to mind.

The games you're talking about fall under the category of Adventure...generally. I like to play these once in a while if I'm just looking for relaxing games to play.

A few good 'mystery' ones that I've played.

-Secret Files: Tunguska
-Broken Sword series (google em, they're all pretty enjoyable)
-The Longest Journey
-Lost Horizon (currently playing this one)
-Dracula Bloodlines
