Find Joe

There's something deliciously eerie about a town where nobody makes eye contact, the shadows are a little too long, and your only mission is to track down a guy named Joe who's been missing for just a little too long. This game hits the sweet spot between hidden object hunt and point-and-click mystery, with richly illustrated scenes that feel like someone smashed together the X-Files and Gravity Falls, then dipped it all in 90s nostalgia. It's got that dark cartoon-meets-old-computer-game look—think Broken Sword or Gabriel Knight, but in playable browser form and surprisingly free. You'll dig through cluttered city scenes, open drawers, slide aside objects, combine found items, and chat with suspiciously vague townsfolk, all while piecing together a genuinely intriguing story about Joe's disappearance. The list of items to find is just the start—what makes this really sing is how interactive everything feels. Whether you're tapping to reveal hidden nooks, triggering new scenes with your discoveries, or puzzling your way past locked doors, it rewards observation and curiosity in equal measure. And here's a fun fact for fellow mystery lovers: the phrase “the truth is out there,” made famous by The X-Files in 1993, was actually inspired by real-life government files on unexplained aerial phenomena—proof that even the weirdest fiction has roots in reality.
