While mopping up some of the games I missed from 2022, I stumbled upon The Case of the Golden Idol - a slightly lesser known indie game that many people had in their end of year lists. The game itself was excellent, but I have a small problem with the way we have talked about it: it's not a detective game

This video does not contain major spoilers for The Case of the Golden Idol and you can watch the video having not played it. However, it does show several early scenes from the game and hints at several things that you may wish to discover for yourself.
