What if Gone Home was about a murder? And what if you, a sort of sci-fi Sherlock Holmes, able to investigate a crime scene using revolutionary nano-tech, were able to figure out what happened? That's the idea behind Forest Grove, an upcoming narrative puzzle-thriller that's all about reconstructing the truth.
An heiress goes missing, and foul play is suspected. The Remote Forensics Bureau is called in, and they recreate the lavish estate of the Kunstimatigaard family using their new Nanodeck technology to clone the whole thing, allowing investigators to explore the house, collect evidence, and watch reconstructions of the various scenes that led up to the disappearance of Zooey Kunstimatigaard, the teen heiress to her dead parents' fortune.
Forest Grove is heading for the Nintendo Switch eShop in Q3 2022 — expect to hear more about it some time this Autumn.

Definitely looks inspired by Frogwares. Pump up the jank.
This sounds really fun. It all depends on how the mystery is constructed though.
As much as I appreciate the mention of the Mind Palace, and by extension, the games Sherlock Holmes: Crime and Punishment and The Sinking City from Frogwares that feature the Mind Palace - a digital reconstruction of a crime scene isn't the same thing as a Mind Palace.
I know I'm being a stickler, I'll see myself out.
I live in a Sci-Fi mind palace.
