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!

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

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!

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...

"A Case of Fraud" pairs the delight of detail-oriented reading with a thrilling finale

Fans of The Roottrees are Dead will enjoy this simpler take on the genre.
