        @joningold I return to the boardgame Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective for this - like Her Story, it gives you a set of facts, and a mechanism for pursuing leads, but lets you pursue them freely, and keeps the satisfaction internal.

      @joningold Obviously hard to tie this into other ongoing mechanics, but it gives that free feeling of Actually Solving It, which I love.

    @joningold Micro Macro : Crime City (also a boardgame) works in this vein - not as hard, but it makes the deduction happen just by looking at details on a very large illustration. Feels almost like a jigsaw puzzle.

      @joningold I'm curious about how Neurocracy plays - don't know that it is explicitly a deduction game, but feels like the wiki structure likely makes the storytelling also self directed in this way.
