Path of Sin: Greed is a hidden object game developed by Artifex Mundi and published by Big Fish Games, released in 2018.

You are a rookie investigator called on by the wealthy Bradford family to solve the mysterious death of a security guard on a secluded island. However, what appears to be a suicide case gets complicated as the family who valued their employee have hidden animosities, and clues suggest machinations driven by greed. Now the investigator has to find the murderer before they get away.

Path of Sin: Greed investigates these examples:

  • Big Fancy Castle: And on a private island owned by the Bradford family, no less.
  • Death by Falling Over: Upon further inspection of the crime scene, it's discovered that Mark's death was no accident or suicide, but rather he was pushed to his death. Patricia confirms that Alexei was responsible for killing Mark this way.
  • Eccentric Millionaire: Henry Bradford is regarded as such, given that he renovated a castle into a villa and collected antique pieces of history for his collections.
  • Everyone Is a Suspect: Because the death of Mark Spector took place at an island villa, everyone who is living there is suspected when murder is correctly deduced.
  • He Knows Too Much: Alexei murdered Mark because he found out about Alexei and Patricia's scheme to scam money from her husband, which led to a fight culminating to his death.
  • I Have Your Wife: The rookie discovers a ransom note suggesting that Patricia was kidnapped and held for ransom after Mark's murder. Turns out, she wasn't kidnapped. The two were involved in Mark's murder when she faked her kidnapping to scam her husband of his money, but Mark found out about it.
  • The Scapegoat: Edward was almost blamed for his brother's murder. However, he verified having no involvement in it when he explained he never drink alcohol in five years nor had access to his raincoat and boots due to losing the key two years ago.
