tietokirtingame

Tietokirtingame is a term that refers to a genre of video games that combine elements of puzzle-solving and narrative. These games often involve the player interacting with a story by solving various logic puzzles, riddles, or environmental challenges. The "tieto" part of the term roughly translates to "knowledge" or "information" in Finnish, suggesting that the player must acquire and utilize information to progress through the game. The "kirtingame" portion refers to the gameplay mechanics, implying a sense of exploration and discovery within a narrative context.

These games typically feature a strong emphasis on atmosphere and storytelling, often presenting players with mysteries to unravel or complex characters to understand. The puzzles are usually integrated into the narrative, serving as obstacles that must be overcome to advance the plot. Unlike more action-oriented genres, tietokirtingame often prioritizes intellectual engagement and thoughtful progression. Examples might include adventure games with intricate puzzle sequences, or even visual novels that incorporate interactive puzzle segments. The focus is on a player actively engaging with the game's world and lore through problem-solving.
