Broken Sword 5 - The Serpent's Curse
The quest is based on an interesting detective story with a mystical twist, investigated by random witnesses to a murder by insurance expert George Stobbart and his reporter acquaintance Nicole Collard. The tragedy takes place at the exhibition of famous gallery owner Andre Dubois. A criminal attacks one of the visitors to the exhibition and commits the theft, quite ordinary, of a painting of no value.

Detective Gallo
In 2018, this good game was released, whose creators were inspired by the cartoons of Walt Disney. But to the developers' credit, we can say that apart from the similarity of the characters, the game has nothing in common with the cartoons.

The main character is a rooster named Gallo, he and solves the inexplicable circumstances of the mass death of plants. The game can be completed in less than six hours.
Randal's Monday
Randal's Monday, a sample of peculiar black humor, but that doesn't stop this game from finding a fan and a lover of that style. Many players consider this game one of the best and coolest that came out in 2014.

It is necessary to solve many problems of logic, to make the right choice, by small steps moving on the chosen path.
Darkestville Castle
Darkestville Castle, a very beautifully designed game that is a pleasure to watch and play. But the black humor here also keeps the developers and players on their toes. The protagonist of this quest, a demon named Sid, really wants to hurt the citizens of Darkestville, and does not miss even the smallest opportunity to cause trouble to people. But the demon loser, either poorly educated or so the stars aligned, but many of his antics bring joy and benefit to the people of the town. However, one of the inhabitants of the town could not stand the impudence of the demon and called for help, for the complete destruction of his demon hunters. Now Sid will have to solve a lot of logical tasks to avoid unpleasant encounters with the hunters. And the trickster will get out of it fast, trust me.
The Talos Principle
The protagonist of this quest, with an obvious philosophical bent, is a cyborg who automatically turned on and came to life on the outskirts of planet Earth. Now he will have to solve about 120 interesting puzzles, in which you have to learn how to control lasers, distract flying drones and perform certain manipulations with time. Each puzzle can be solved in several ways. Throughout the game, the cyborg actively communicates with his developer and other robots.
Black Mirror
Most likely, the developers were inspired by the mystical works of Edgar Allan Lovecraft. An atmosphere of gloom, horror and panic is created, which is actively traced throughout the game. The storyline is 1926, David Gordon returns to Scotland, to his parents' home after his father committed suicide. Throughout his life, he has avoided the ancestral nest, where he has always been haunted by ghosts, vetting and nightmares.
