Are there any predecessors for the style of input/progress gating found in Return of the Obra Dinn and The Case of the Golden Idol?

In each, you have blanks requiring info about a given scene that you must fill in correctly, through deduction and other puzzle solving, in order to progress. (See pics for screenshots from each)

@lauraehall I need to try The Case of the Golden Idol! Loved Obra Dinn, although it can be frustrating sometimes. :)

The old Laura Bow games (or at least one of them) had a "Poirot" moment at the end where you have to say who did what and why, but it's a one shot "did you pay attention?" thing at the end, as far as I can remember.

@SonnyBonds if you liked Obra Dinn you'll definitely enjoy Golden Idol, in some ways it's designed to be a bit more accessible/solvable

I'll look for the Laura Bow games!
