Are there any good detective games based around interrogating a suspect where you're given a decent amount of freedom in what you can say/ask over fixed dialog

Are there any good detective games based around interrogating a suspect where you're given a decent amount of freedom in what you can say/ask over fixed dialogue trees?
Her Story can be viewed as something like this in a limited form, where there's a satisfying enough reason for the limitations.
Return of the Obra Dinn was awesome. Like Her Story, the deduction goes on in your own head or on paper in contrast to e.g. an unnatural UI that shows a nodes/lines diagram of facts where you're joining facts together to prove you know what's going on.
- rcfox 5y agoDisco Elysium - lots of dialogue trees and people to interrogate. Saying every possible thing is usually a bad idea. Orwell - not so much about direct interrogation, but you essentially play Big Brother and feed investigators information you find from their Internet activity. What information you pass along or withhold can drastically sway the outcomes. Consortium - first-person game where you're investigating a murder on a plane. (kinda feels more like a spaceship from Star Trek.) There's some actiony shooting as well, but it can mostly be avoided and isn't the focus.
