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 My wife had a whole class of these in her LSAT prep work, they are a whole genre "5 people are at the table, Mary sits next to Jim, Jim is younger than Mary..." etc. You have to make a grid to solve them.
@saint_monkey yeah! I'm specifically interested in the input/gating mechanic, both of the games are logic puzzle games (which I love)
