Mystery

Mystery games allow the player to play a detective who must search for clues, interrogate witnesses, and solve a crime (usually murder or theft). Often, the goal of the game is to make a successful arrest of the criminal. Detective PCs may be police officers, private investigators, newspaper journalists, amateur sleuths, suspects trying to clear their names, or witnesses who want to see justice done.

Note: DO NOT lazily label a game as a "Mystery" just because a mysterious and puzzling situation is presented to the player character. That's not what the Mystery genre is about.
