Games in a real world setting?
Most Sherlock Holmes games?
Most Sherlock Holmes games?
yeah except maybe Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened which is lovecraftian in style
I’m surprised that no one has mentioned the first game that came to my mind when I read the first post. Ripley’s Believe It or Not: The Riddle of Master Lu, where you go around visiting various museums and real life locations.
Unfortunately I remember it also being rather boring. Which seems to be the challenge here, having a game that is 100% realistic in both setting and content while still being exciting somehow.
Even movies typically avoid this. It would be interesting to see some games that do this well, but I don’t really know of any that completely avoid falling into any genre that looks to spice the story up to levels that don’t resemble reality for most players.
I’m surprised GK3 never made it to this list. It’s set in the real world location of the Languedoc region of France. More than a few sites in the game are modeled on real sites in the region. The chapel and the stone chair being two.
For whom the games toll,
they toll for thee.

Probably because the OP doesn’t want them:
“Detective games (or other obvious genre pieces such as spy or conspiracy thrillers) count as long as they don’t have fantasy/scifi/supernatural elements”
Does ‘Santa Fe Mysteries : The Elk Moon Murders’ qualify as PnC realism?
—Irony Curtain
—Larry series
—Gabriel Knight
—Blackwell series
—Not another weekend
—The Pillars of the Earth
—The Hand of Glory
