This $10 bundle offers incredible value on 7 modern detective games

A new bundle on Humble Bundle has left me speechless at the sheer value on display for a minimum of $10: the Humble Detectives Bundle is a cornucopia of delightful detective, mystery, and killer games from the past few years.

The bundle includes the movie-themed mystery Immortality, the serial killer thriller Killer Frequency, a fantasy world of dark secrets in Paradise Killer, the cosmic horror of Call of Cthulhu, a double dose of pixelated jokes in The Darkside Detective and its sequel A Fumble in the Dark, and a where-you-did-it thriller in Overboard.

$10 is a pretty compelling price for a lot of them, frankly.

Immortality earned a rare 95% score from PC Gamer upon its 2022 release, with reviewer Kaile Hultner calling the found-footage collage that is the mystery of actress Marissa Marcel “Sam Barlow’s best, most challenging game yet, and a stunning debut for Half Mermaid.”

The very different Paradise Killer earned a 91% score for its perfect, neon-drenched world where things go seriously wrong. Critic Funké Joseph called it a “new standard for the crime genre” that offered “vaporwave bangers.”

The Darkside Detective, on the other hand, was described by writer Samuel Roberts as a pleasantly funny game that was self-aware of its penchant for popular culture. He said it was “delightfully ironic” and “warmly funny and quirky, like a cop sitcom that isn’t bad.”

There’s also the “reverse murder mystery” Overboard! here, from acclaimed studio Inkle. This one, which writer Andy Kelly called a “deliciously evil twist” on the detective genre, has you helping protagonist Veronica get away with her husband’s murder.
