Flatfoots and Fools: A Podcast about Detective Games
@flatfootsandfools.bsky.social
We are going to touch on anything we think is detective themed, or has significant detective mechanics. We plan to release every two weeks
I recommend Strange Antiquities. It's a great game you can pick up and put down as necessary while taking care of your cat. They also have a plant version if that's more your style

When I get more time, I plan to check out some of the developer's other games!

There are enough detective games for me to do 6 years of episodes, even if no one releases anything new for that entire time, which is not happening. Instead, there's more each year!

I love how many teams are trying different spins and iterations. Even if they don't end up developing into a full-fledged game like the root trees, it's still great to see. It does make mapping all of it out more challenging though

In the mega games spreadsheet, I called it the "leads -> information -> deduction -> leads loop".

I 100% feel you. That was a part of why I wanted to do something like this within the area I have been focusing on.

There's a bunch of great smaller games that are very, very hard to find without doing a ton of sleuthing
