Games Like Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure

Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure throws you into a gritty sci-fi world where you play as private investigator Tex Murphy, a man with a sharp tongue and a knack for getting into trouble. You move through a richly detailed future San Francisco, talking to people, sifting through clues, and piecing together a mystery that twists through time travel, conspiracy theories, and a deeply personal story. The game feels like a living noir novel with sound design and voice acting that pull you in from the very first scene. You solve puzzles by examining objects, flipping through old files, and making smart choices in dialogue. The soundtrack is haunting and perfect, and the humor often sneaks up on you with a deadpan line or a ridiculous situation. It’s not about fast reflexes or intense combat. It’s about immersion, great writing, and the satisfaction of uncovering a layered story that makes you care about Tex and the world he lives in.
