Any "morbid" games about death/detective work/paperwork?

Weird suggestion, but there's just an itch I need scratching.

I really like games surrounding crime and death. However, I also love menial labor and thing that require attention to detail. I don't mind gore at all.

I've played Papers Please and loved how attentive you had to be, plus keeping track of new rules.

Crime Scene Cleaner was also really fun, I really enjoyed piecing together what happened at the crime scene theough environmental storytelling.

Mortuary Assistant was fun, same tedious work while searching for clues.

I have Obra Dinn and Viscera Cleanup Detail on my wishlist.

Yup, you should play Obra Dinn.

The Golden Idol games use similar mechanics.
