2026 is the year of buying used records, CDs, and loading up indie game soundtracks from Steam onto my new mp3 player 😮💨 I love that it’s not a touch screen and there are actual buttons I can press!

If you liked Blue Prince, The Séance of Blake Manor or The Roottrees are Dead this year, you gotta check out this list!! Who knew 2026 would be equally (or more) stacked with mysteries!
2026 has the potential to be an even better year for detective games than last year, which had at least 46 releases! I made a thread here for upcoming games I am aware of. If I have played the Demo or Playtested it, I will describe the games a bit, as well as when they state their release dates.
