One thing I love about modern gaming is consoles let you take a screenshot easily and that you can quickly view w/o leaving the game. If you see something interesting that you might need to remember later on, you no longer need a notebook or good memory, you just take a screenshot and press onwards knowing you can easily refer to later on at any time if it turns out you actually need it. That and games that auto-map as you explore and let you mark your own notes or flag areas so you remember to go back to them later on, perhaps after acquiring a particular upgrade or solving some puzzle.
Thanks! There are people, like myself, that fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum on will or will not write in a notebook. For us, there are helpful people on the internet to help us along and in many cases that can be part of the experience of playing.
maybe a detective game where the individual puzzles you're solving aren't themselves the main point serving a larger story, but rather just another tool that allows you to solve a sort of higher-level meta-puzzle that you'd never be able to solve w/o solving the individual puzzles first (due to so many elements, or combinations or whatever in the meta-puzzle). I believe there have been puzzle games in the past like this, but I don't recall there being a detective-style game in this vein. If anyone knows of one I'd be very interested, I honestly haven't played many detective games (traditional or otherwise).
The one thing that annoyed me in Obra Dinn was the fact that you can't solve a person's death without seeing his own memory. With how far I was taking notes you can uncover the deaths of many people without having to go through their own memory.

Coming here from GMTK's community post
I'm actually working on a detective game right now, so it's exactly what I need
Loved the chat, thanks for posting these ❤

detective games are not fun
