Add these 3 mysteries to your wishlist!

I love me a mystery. Who-dun-its, where-goes-its, and what-was-its are some of my favorite kinds of stories and, unsurprisingly, Steam is chock-a-block full of them. So, whether you're into grand mysteries, personal ones, or unraveling a massive conspiracy, this week's Wishlist Wednesday has got you covered.

We Stay Behind

Developed by Backwoods Entertainment, Application Systems Heidelberg
Published by Application Systems Heidelberg

Perhaps less of a who-dun-it, We Stay Behind is a third-person mystery game about a small town and why they refuse to leave when a comet is on a collision course. Billed as a mystery between dreams and reality, I'm excited to see where this story goes and meet the quirky characters of Laburnum Creek.

Demo available now. Coming later.

Will: Follow the Light

Developed and published by TomorrowHead Studio

During the Spring Steam Next Fest, I played about an hour of Will: Follow the Light and I was over the moon with what I played. In the first hour, you learn to sail your ship, then solve some light puzzles to uncover a mystery at a fog-enveloped lighthouse. The game is gorgeous and I love the writing, but what really got me (no spoilers) is how that first stint ends.

I think there's a lot more going on with Will: Follow the Light than the trailers and screenshots allude to. I can't wait to get my hands on this game when it comes out.

Demo available now. Coming to Steam on April 28, 2026.

The Ratline

Developed and published by Owlskip Games

Did you look at The Roottrees are Dead and think, man, I sure wish this game was less about dispersing money to heirs and more about hunting down a diaspora of secret Nazis? Well, do I have a game for you!

Put your thinking cap on and unmask war criminals in this mystery deduction game. Read print-outs, scan photos, call a dentist's office, and do whatever you can to find the Nazis among us in this 1970s-era detective thriller.

Demo available. Released on March 17, 2026.
