Hi all, a two-in-one here.

My partner and I like to play single-player detective/mystery games with a good narrative side-by-side and I've exhausted the games that I know of.

She's also new to gaming herself and I'd love to find a co-op game that we can enjoy together.

Detective/mystery:

We've played together and enjoyed:

• The Darkest Files

• The Roottrees are Dead

• The Seance of Blake Manor

• Lorelei and the Laser Eyes

• Sherlock Holmes series

• Mind Diver

• Immortality

• Beholder Conductor

Games I've already played and enjoyed solo:

• Pentiment

• LA Noire

• Obra Dinn/Outer Wilds/The Forgotten City

• Golden Idol

• Ace Attorney series

We're trying to play Murders on the Yangtze River at the moment but it isn't holding our attention like the games above.

Sandbox Co-Op Games:

Something low-intensity and easy to play would be best since she's new to gaming. She loves Stardew Valley because of how you can play at your own pace and the whimsical nature of it. I like farming sims but have tried and failed to enjoy Stardew multiple times.

• Are there any good alternatives to Stardew?
• Any sandbox game in a different genre that is easy to pick up with a lot of content?

Thanks in advance!
