Articles by K R Parkinson:
There Was the Moon review
This impressive first-person indie adventure is full of abstract narrative intrigue and hauntingly surreal imagery, even if it doesn't quite stick the landing.
I Saw Black Clouds review
Those willing to overlook a lack of gameplay will find a darkly compelling live-action thriller with plenty of replay value.
Clarevoyance review
Past and present, myth and maritime go head-to-head in this quirky community-made adventure set in the Acadian region of Clare, Nova Scotia.
Dark Room review
Puzzles are the lone highlight in the opening installment of a planned standalone horror trilogy that never really develops any kind of coherent story.
Oniria Crimes review
Apart from a few objections, this voxel-based mystery adventure should be a dream come true for would-be detectives who enjoy deep, intriguing worlds to explore.
Boïnihi: The K’i Codex review
The latest installment in Simon Mesnard's Black Cube series may change perspectives but still translates into a quality puzzle-centric sci-fi adventure.
The Procession to Calvary review
The sequel to Four Last Things is another delightful cross between Renaissance art, classical music, traditional adventure and irreverent, Pythonesque humour.
Nauticrawl review
This genre-defying sci-fi adventure is elevated by its uniquely immersive blend of roguelike, sub sim and puzzle elements.
NITE Team 4 review
Alice & Smith deliver a slick, substantial cyberwarfare spin-off in The Black Watchmen universe for those who can hack its complexities.
Pavilion: Chapter 1 review
This beautiful isometric adventure debut is an engaging fourth-person puzzler that covers over a number of notable technical issues.

The comic Russian adventure trilogy is complete, but the finale takes a long, meandering, often frustrating route to reach the end.
Red Comrades 2: For the Great Justice – Reloaded review
The hammer comes down on this comic Russian adventure sequel that's as rushed as it is frequently nonsensical.
Code 7: Episode 1 – Threading review
This unique cyberpunk thriller finds the right combination of hacking sim and text adventuring with visual and audio enhancements.
Misao – Definitive Edition review
The commercial upgrade of a free Japanese horror adventure has a killer atmosphere but its unfocused gameplay isn't in the same class.
Mystery of Rivenhallows review
This short, bare-bones casual puzzler adopts very few positive elements that would make it worthwhile to play.
