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 Heaven's Vault is also an "information game" with soft gating, based around learning alien/ancient vocabulary from context. Not as strict as a logic puzzle deduction but it feels adjacent.
