    Judging by your examples I believe you accidentally pressed a T key when first typing that letter instead of F. Please fix.

    They're not really detective games...

    But games that are similar to them, well, try Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy. It's made by the Heavy Rain moron but is actually pretty good for a while until the end where it falls apart completely.

    Heavy Rain is a shittier version of the already fairly rubbish Fahrenheit. You might like that.

    I meant the theme, not the actual gameplay of those games, the games were example of the theme, didn't know it will be so hard on the kkkrowd.Guess you're not so sophisticated after all as you think you are eh.An educated and intelectual person would distinguish between the thread title and what was posted and would draw the conclusion.

    Played already Indigo Prophecy.

    It is difficult when you do not properly explain what it is you want.

    And since the "theme" of LA Noire and Heavy Rain is "boring", I really can't help you.

    There's Deadly Premonition. It's a Resident Evil 4 clone with a sandbox world and a plot that draws from Twin Peaks, The X-Files and slasher horror films. Much like Twin Peaks, it can be surprisingly heavy on comedy too.

    Do you want adventure games that are similar to LA Noire and Heavy Rain or not?

    Let's clear this shit up.

    So basically you don't necessarily want a detective game, you just want the main character to work as a detective in some capacity.

    Try Devil May Cry.

    Actually Max Payne is a pretty great gumshoe-atmospheric type game.
