The mechanics are amazing and make it a better detective game than most detective games. Plus, I really liked the story and setting.
Just in case OP hasn't played it, I genuinely cannot recommend it enough.
The recently released Echo Beach.. "As a clerk at the Ministry, your job is to hunt down the remaining musicians in their place of last refuge - The Musicnet."

Hypnospace Outlaw "In Hypnospace Outlaw you play as a volunteer 'enforcer' who is tasked with bla bla bla... to make money bla bla. The cool thing is that there's a super robust fake OS and a really big fake internet with all kinds of neat things to find. OK?!? Ok!"
Lucas Pope and Concerned Ape are supremely talented (they even compose the music for their games!). I'll buy anything they release at this point, sight unseen.
For anyone who likes this style of game, I can't recommend Myst and Riven enough.
Haven't gotten around to the later games in that series yet.
I should note I haven't played Obra Dinn, or Outer Wilds yet, so I may have misunderstood.
Outer Wilds is my favorite game of all time :) It is generally quite chill (though there are a few tense moments). I hear the DLC is a little scary/thrilling but I haven’t played it yet.
