Non Criminal Detective Games
Detective fiction is dominated by murder investigations, kidnapping, etc. And those are cool of course but I want to give more exposure to the games that get away from that type of thing. I should clarify, non criminal doesnt necessarily mean your investigation never uncovers any criminal activity but more so you are not investigating from the context of a criminal investigation, official or not. This is going to get kind of hair-splitting but hopefully my own examples help illustrate what I mean

I love this idea for a list!
The Touch Detective games might fit!(?) The crimes are all a bit on the silly side (theft of dreams, murder of a flea, etcetera).

@kaeruk Thanks. Sure, that sounds cool
Puzzle Agent would work here.
@Corrugated_Fox Yep, thanks
Rad list and rad collection of games. I also belive that Pathologic could count for similar reasons that Pawls of Coal does; in two of the campaigns you are a doctor that is triying to find the origins of a disiease and a cure to fight back against it, that plus some missions within the game and I think it fits on here.
"Sethian" and "The Gostak" or both also about deciphering a fictional language or text like heaven vault and chants of sennaar. idk if they fit just for that tho
Great list! I want to say Norco fits here but it's been a while since I played it; I might be forgetting some criminal elements. You're not like a cop or anything though and you're investigating for the purpose of your own elucidation, not like trying to "crack the case".
