Try Murder by Numbers, also on the Nintendo Switch. It combines Phoenix Wright-style storytelling with picross puzzles as part of an “evidence collection” mechanic.

You didn’t read the intro i take it. 

I’m not sure how I feel about Paul being a “good” bathhouse owner. Those guys were about as complicit in the spread of HIV as the Reagan administration.
