This interplanetary sci-fi puzzler is quirky fun to explore, if noticeably light on actual world-building to ground it.
The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker review
You'll need to carefully couch your questions in this flawed but compelling keyword-driven FMV mystery.
Tacoma review
Though its gameplay is largely weightless, Fullbright's new character-driven sci-fi adventure is a compelling tale set far from home.
Sandra and Woo in the Cursed Adventure review
Despite some swear-inducing challenges, this lengthy comic-based fantasy will win you over with its characters, worlds and style.

This (re-)animated comic adventure is packed with fun pop culture references, along with a few puzzle skeletons best left in the closet.

The Descendant review
Take it or leave it: the rushed series finale is a disappointing end to a promising but uneven post-apocalyptic series.
Her Majesty’s SPIFFING review
This comic sci-fi adventure is highly polished and filled with British quips, though it feels more like the abbreviated launch of a bigger adventure to come.
Silence review

Demetrios: The BIG Cynical Adventure review

The supernatural, body-hopping musical adventure is a howling good time with a thin story and just a few rough edges.
Slap Village review
It may be just the first step into a larger frontier ahead, but this quirky anachronistic Western will show y'all a good time while it lasts.
