5 New Mystery Games For December 2024
And a quick reminder that the Steam Winter Sale is live until January 2nd!
Happy Mystery Monday!
Today’s post will be short, but first:
The Steam Winter Sale has begun, and lasts until January 2nd! There are way too many games on sale to list here, so if you need help deciding what to buy, take a look at our mystery game buying guide.
I have also been working hard behind the scenes on the Mystery Gamedev website. Look forward to more details on that in next week’s newsletter.
And of course, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
December is usually a slow month for game releases, but nonetheless I managed to find a handful for today’s post. Because they were released so recently, none of them quality for the Steam Winter Sale — but if you’re looking for a last-minute Christmas gift, see if any of the below games catch your interest:
1. Enigma of Fear
Become Mia, a paranormal detective searching for her missing father inside the Perimeter - a place that doesn't exist. Investigate clues like a real detective and unravel the mysteries behind the Enigma of Fear, defeating the terrible monsters who'll try to stop you.
2. LumineNight
LumineNight is a story-driven detective adventure. Play as Detective Foster and his daughter to solve a series of murders spanning a decade. Interrogate suspects, infiltrate locations, solve puzzles, and gather evidence from crime scenes. Uncover the dark truth behind these killings.
3. On Your Tail
A cozy detective adventure where you play as a vacation-bound writer who stumbles upon an idyllic town plagued by an enigmatic thief. Crack the case in this charming seaside town, build relationships, and unravel secrets in a world full of quirky characters and heartwarming stories.
4. Paper Perjury
It all started with a simple robbery. When that thread was pulled, a tapestry of mysteries was revealed. Solve cases and outsmart criminals in a detective story full of lies, confessions, and maybe even a murder or two.
5. Pyramids and Aliens Escape Room
Embark on an archaeological adventure inside an ancient pyramid to find your missing mentor. As an intrepid explorer, solve puzzles, investigate clues, and unravel the pyramid's secrets. Spoiler: it was not built by humans!
