Travel back to 1880s London to help Scotland Yard's detectives solve the crime of the century. The realism of the scenes and the accuracy of the storyline will fascinate all ages from young teen to adult. One of the first and best games of its type, Jack the Ripper features numerous atmospheric 3-D locations and oodles of hidden objects to find. Heck, if you're just into adventure or puzzle games in general, I can make you a crapton more recommendations on top of those.Real Crimes: Jack the Ripper - the fabulous, chart-topping hidden-object game with amazing graphics is now available on the Nintendo DSiWare service. Prominence (extremely well-designed first-person adventure game) The Painscreek Killings (detective-style game, requires you to take a lot of notes about the things you read) The Talos Principle (haven't personally played, but heard good things about) If you don't mind using Steam, try one of the following: Frogwares' series of Sherlock Holmes games (basically anything that says 'Sherlock Holmes' on it here on GOG) Lighthouse: The Dark Being (Sierra's answer to Myst) Schizm: Mysterious Journey (haven't personally played, but similar style)

Return of the Obra Dinn (not really a first-person adventure/puzzle game like the others here, more of a detective thing, but absolutely excellent) The 7th Guest/The 11th Hour (very cool B-movie horror atmosphere with these, although the puzzles leave something to be desired and the games really need a facelift) Timelapse (not the greatest puzzles here, you basically already played the best of the genre, but still decent) What you're looking for are adventure games with environmental puzzles.
