The Humble Store is replete with green boxes. The games in this sale seem to be part of a theme. They're all about detectives. I've got it! I deduce that the Humble Store Detective Hamble Sale is now live. The sale chops up to 90% off some seriously excellent detective games and point-and-click adventures. Let's put some of them under the magnifying glass.
Batman didn't earn his title as the World's Greatest Detective by making ham-fisted deductions like mine (hem, hem). He earned his stripes on adventures like those featured in the Batman: Arkham Collection (75% off). This collection gathers Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight into a single great-value package. There's no Arkham Origins, which is a bit of a shame. Still, if you like thinking but also punching people really hard, you can't go wrong with the Batman: Arkham games.
There are plenty of more traditional detective games to test your grey matter too. Return of the Obra Dinn (10% off) may not be hugely discounted, but it's a work of unparalleled genius. For something a tad more idiosyncratic, try The Sexy Brutale (50% off). It's a clever Ghost Trick-style tale with some nifty twists and turns. If you're more of a hands-off type, the double-whammy of Layers of Fear and Observer (60% off) is hard to top.
Elsewhere, there are a fair few classic point-and-click games up for grabs. Experience the afterlife in the wonderful Grim Fandango Remastered (80% off). Check out the sci-fi Nordic noir stylings of Whispers of a Machine: Blue Edition (10% off) or sift through police interviews of a missing man's wife in Her Story (50% off). For a post-meal snack, enjoy the light-hearted adventure that is Ron Gilbert's Thimbleweed Park (50% off). You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to detect deals aplenty in the Humble Store Detective Hamble Sale.
Plenty there to be getting on with if you're a fan of adventure gaming. Be sure to subscribe to Humble Monthly to get your early unlocks (Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and Moonlighter). Puzzles got your grey matter in overdrive? Try the Humble Stress-Free Zone Book Bundle. When you're ready to get your Twitch followers to help you figure out the Detective Hamble Sale games' conundrums, perhaps the Humble Streaming Software Bundle will help.
The Humble Store Detective Hamble Sale case will remain open through this week. Don't let the case go cold.
