Unsolved is the closest thing to a library of PC-style mystery adventures on a phone. Artifex Mundi, the studio behind the Enigmatis and Grim Legends series, puts a growing set of its hidden object puzzle adventures into one free app, starting with the Eventide trilogy and a bonus chapter, and adds titles over time; the latest listed update is Phantasmat: Dread of Oakville. The listing describes detective work such as documenting evidence and solving criminal cases, alongside hidden object scenes and standalone puzzles. It supports 27 languages and runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. Two limits: many stories are supernatural rather than straight crime, and it needs iOS 16.0 or later. Premium packs start at $1.99. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not play every story.
