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 hi, I came here through the Obra Dinn hashtag. Has anyone recommended Outer Wilds to you? All progress in that game isn't at all blocked off, it's just very unlikely you'll stumble upon it accidentally. It sounds very much like what you were looking for here.
