City of Voices from @kinigames.bsky.social. Where Golden Idol lineage solutions have been very text focused, this game leans into using images instead. For that alone it has my attention, and their track record on previous GI expansions is a great sign for this!

Check out this great list of detective/deduction games that are expected to launch this year. The genre is thriving! And @flatfootsandfools.bsky.social is doing excellent work cataloguing all these games.
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.
