This point-and-click puzzler wants you to search the enigmatic town of Redcliff in pursuit of your missing father.

The indie scene is overflowing with great games right now, such as Game Boy-styled platformer Linked Mask and Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruinwhich is rivaling the sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Assassin's Creed Valhalla in Japan. Another indie to sink your teeth into, if you're looking for something a bit more methodical, is isometric puzzle game Tiny Room Stories: Town Mystery.

Presenting itself in isometric form, this point-and-click puzzler wants you to search the enigmatic town of Redcliff in pursuit of your missing father. The only other problem is that everyone else in Redcliff has disappeared too, igniting connections to television series The Leftovers, and even giving off a Twin Peaks vibe. While there wont be any open-world to explore, Town Mystery is still stylish in its design and offers a good view for clue hunting in its isometric form.
