According to many "how the fuck was i supposed to know" faggots on /vr/ any game without a tutorial is the mystery of what the dpad does.

Quite literally, Drowned God.
And you'll never fully solve it, as the creator mysteriously commited "murder and suicide" that he couldn't possibly have physically achieved on his own, his secrets dying with him.

The Phoenix Wright games. Part of it is just linear adventure gaming but a lot of the cases have you trying to find (more or less) logical discrepancies in the characters' stories.

And not retro but Return of the Obra Dinn

>There was a kid's game called Eagle Eye or something
I remember that, I had the Eagle Eye Mysteries in London one. It was pretty good and yeah had a lot of cases.

Scratches has some god tier atmosphere and build up, but man is the ending a huge letdown. It’s both unsatisfying and stupid.

This is off the charts great. Possibly one of the most overlooked point n clicks ever. I’d also like to add the Gabriel knight games, those are also fantastic
