We’ve had a few games which fit this description, the most recent notable examples I can think of are The Invisible Hours, The Shapeshifting Detective and The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker.
However, Return of the Obra Dinn is by far the biggest and most intense murder mystery I’ve ever witnessed!

Nice list.
I’ll add 9th Dawn III to that list. Great game made by one person.
Always Sometimes Monster is made by two people technically, but let’s do an honorable mention.
I’d add HABROXIA 1 & 2 on here as well. Berry does pixel wonders with the Game Maker engine.

Technically speaking Minecraft should have been on the list. But it's nice to see these single devs thrive.
Theyr is no game made by one man. Theyr is always a team of developers behind them.

When i would give an example of one man with that idea for me its Hideo Kojima....
No there are certainly games made by 1 person, start to finish. Maybe after it launches and becomes a big enough success the 1 person will reach out for help maintaining it or updating, but games have been made by 1 person.
Unless of course you are being insanely nit-picky and trying to claim "the engine they used was made by Unity" or "the assets they put in were made by someone else"
The notion of Cosmic Horror has been explored in gaming for decades, but the Cthulhu mythos has exposed players to unrivalled terror.
Murder mystery, despite the trappings of its genre, has come a long way since its inception in the 1800s as a source of parlor entertainment.
