Investigation - Games
Found 1 games found
Investigation in games transcends simple clue-hunting; it's a core design philosophy that engages players as active participants in constructing narratives. This mechanic often manifests through environmental storytelling, where players piece together lore from scattered details, or through systemic puzzles that demand logical deduction. It empowers players to form hypotheses, test them against the game world, and experience the satisfaction of discovery. Beyond genre staples like detective adventures, investigation elements enrich RPGs, survival horrors, and even open-world games, turning exploration into a meaningful act of inquiry that deepens immersion and player agency.
