8 Games For Those That Loved Blue Prince

If you like your puzzles with a philosophical tones leading you to question your own humantinty? Then The Talos Principle is waiting for you so stretch your brain muscles! The game sets you as an AI wandering around a beautiful but tragically abandoned world.

You solve puzzles as you question what your purpose really is in the world where only you exist. Explore while figuring out what happened the the past inhabitants. The puzzles become more and more complicated. 

By the end you’ll either feel enlightened…or like you barely survived your upper level philosophy course.

7. Antichamber

Imagine a game built entirely to betray your expectations—and then laugh while you struggle. That’s Antichamber in a nutshell. Nothing behaves the way you think it should.

Rooms loop on themselves. Corridors shrink and stretch when you’re not looking. Solutions require you to unlearn how video games (and honestly, physics) are supposed to work. It’s frustrating in the best possible way—kind of like trying to escape a dream you know isn’t real but still can’t control.

If you loved wandering through Blue Prince feeling both amazed and totally lost, Antichamber will feel like home.

6. Chants of Sennaar

If decoding weird, layered storytelling was your jam in Blue Prince, you’ll love the slow-burn brilliance of Chants of Sennaar.

Here, you’re tasked with unraveling actual fictional languages—no hand-holding, no cheap hints, only your handy notebook. You observe people talking, pick up patterns, and start learning how to communicate across barriers built from centuries of mistrust and misinterpretation.

It’s about language, culture, and finding unity where nobody wants to give it. It’s also a lesson in patience, observation, and realizing that sometimes the most powerful puzzles are the ones hiding in plain conversation.

5. The Case of the Golden Idol

The Case of the Golden Idol looks unassuming, but don’t let the simple art style fool you—it’s a detective powerhouse.

Every murder scene is frozen in time. Your job isn’t just to find out who did it; you have to figure out why, how, when, and what’s hiding under the surface. It’s a game that rewards sharp eyes and sharper thinking.

Every small detail matters: a misplaced letter, an odd turn of phrase, the way someone’s standing a little too stiffly. It feels like filling in a massive logic puzzle one bloodstained clue at a time.

If you loved how Blue Prince made you feel like a detective without ever handing you a magnifying glass, this one’s a no-brainer.

4. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes

This one’s for the players who loved getting wrapped up in Blue Prince’s layered mysteries without a clear map out.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes throws you into a surreal, labyrinthine hotel packed with puzzles, codes, conspiracies, and enough stylish dread to keep you double-checking every door you open.

You’ll be piecing together multiple timelines, decoding symbolic messages, and questioning whether you’re solving a murder, uncovering a cult, or losing your mind—or maybe all three.
It’s beautifully cryptic in the way Blue Prince fans crave.

3. Return of the Obra Dinn

Probably the closest thing to a perfect “figure it out yourself” game ever made.

Armed with nothing but a magical pocket watch and a book, you have to deduce what happened to every single person aboard a ship that drifted into port with no survivors. No quest markers. No dialogue trees. Just pure detective work, observation, and the occasional brutal realization that you got it horribly wrong and have to rethink everything.

If you loved how Blue Prince never spelled anything out but let you stitch the story together from scraps, Obra Dinn will absolutely consume you.

2. Outer Wilds

The ultimate exploration mystery game—and easily one of the best “the less you know, the better” experiences out there. You’re trapped in a 22-minute time loop, but every loop lets you explore deeper, uncover more secrets, and gradually piece together a heartbreaking, awe-inspiring story about curiosity, ambition, and loss.

Outer Wilds doesn’t hold your hand. You figure out how everything works by dying. A lot. But every discovery feels real, earned, and personal.

If Blue Prince gave you a taste for open-ended mysteries where every scrap of information matters, Outer Wilds is a must-play.

1. The Witness

If you want the purest “stare at something until it makes sense and then feel like a genius” experience after Blue Prince, The Witness is waiting to absolutely wreck you.

At first glance, it’s just an island full of line puzzles. Simple enough, right?

Wrong! The deeper you go, the more the puzzles stop being on panels and start bleeding into the environment itself (and there are 500). Colors, shadows, sounds—everything becomes a clue. And the island has its own silent story, tucked away in the environment, for players willing to look hard enough.

It’s Blue Prince turned up to 11—and it will absolutely destroy your free time if you let it.

Final Thoughts: Embrace the Weird

Finishing Blue Prince doesn’t mean you’re done solving mysteries. It just means you’ve graduated to the big leagues. These games don’t just challenge your logic; they challenge how you see games, stories, and sometimes even yourself (are you dumb or is the puzzle that good?). So grab one, dive in, and get ready to feel confused, brilliant, and a little bit lost all over again.

That’s the fun part and so rewarding when you solve everything!
