Blameless is a first-person puzzle adventure where you explore a house, piece together what happened, and find a way out. Offline without issue, free without catch, finished in under two hours. The puzzle design is not going to test experienced players heavily, but the atmosphere is consistent and the production quality is higher than you expect from a permanently free release. I picked this up not knowing anything about it and found it a clean, self-contained experience. It sits here rather than in the top ten because the replay value drops to near zero after one completion, and the list above it has stronger depth.

Overview
About Blameless
Blameless is a mysterious first-person adventure with primary focus on puzzle solving and short story. The player will appear in a role of an architect trying to investigate strange happenings, after discovering evidence of an act of violence.
Story setup
Playing in a role of a young architect, you are asked by an unknown man to help with some design decisions in the interior of his unfinished house. Accepting the legitimate request, you are taken to the house the same evening. Wandering about the interior, you notice a slight detail with your trained eye and turn to the man to tell him about blood stains spilled on the floor. That's when you get hit in the head, falling to the floor, passed out.
When you wake, the man’s gone. Your phone is smashed and the only door out is locked. You are no hero, but there's no other choice than to investigate the strange whatabouts yourself. Looking around, your architect instinct tells you that you don’t really need to open the door in order to pass through…
