• the effort to provide historical accuracy, this is a time and area of Europe I only briefly learned about in middle school, so it felt nice having a glimpse of what life was like in 15th century Bavaria, are there games that try to portray life and folklore of people I may not know about? For context I am an average western European.

I know of Never Alone, which is about a traditional fairy tale from the Alaskan native Iñupiaq tribe.

It was a fun little game which introduced me to their folklore.

Regarding the mystery detective work, Lucifer within us is a name you didn’t mention yet. While it’s not as strong a detective game as those you mentioned, it might help scratch the itch for a bit.

Regarding the meta narrative, without too many spoilers I will just mention names: Undertale , Oneshot , Slay The Princess

Especially the last one could be up your alley, since you like games witha lot of text.
