I've long felt that the mystery game genre is cool in theory but doesn't work in practice on computers. Most games end up being menu clickers. Or you have to add puzzles. Which is fun, but a puzzle game isn't the same as a mystery game.
Generative AI changes things. It's possible to make a more open-ended game where you can act like a real investigator. Draw up lists of suspects, order forensic tests, call experts, interview witnesses, whatever you can think of.
