Haimrik review
Sticks and stones may break your bones but words can cause permanent damage in this gory but uniquely delightful side-scrolling action-puzzler.
Repressed review
This minimalist puzzler with a surprisingly poignant story conveyed through light and shadow will bring plenty of good feelings to the surface for the short time it lasts.
Interactivity: The Interactive Experience review
This short meta-narrative adventure exhibits similar ideas to The Stanley Parable, but pushes enough right buttons to be worth a look.
Night Lights review
This charming little puzzle-platformer has some nice ideas dealing with light and shadow, but it runs out of power just when it should be ramping up.
The Antidote review
Don't let its lack of buzz fool you: this trippy castle escape adventure will suit anyone jonesing for an amusingly bizarre point-and-click experience.
Trails and Traces: The Tomb of Thomas Tew review
The little indie adventure with the tongue-twisting title isn't quite a hidden gem but does provide an amusing few hours of treasure hunting goodness.
Dr. Doyle and the Mystery of the Cloche Hat review
We offer a tip of our cap to this charming 1920s point-and-click murder mystery with a delightfully old-timey look and feel.
Gold Rush! 2 review
Nearly three decades later, the indie sequel to Sierra's renowned historical adventure is seriously undermined by its weak production values and pan-worthy gameplay.
Yet Another Hero Story review
Not just another traditional fantasy adventure, this is a charming and pretty darn good point-and-click indie debut.
Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy! HD review
Whoa! The enhanced remake of an already delightful comic pirate adventure is well worth forking over a few bucks to enjoy.
Smile for Me review
This delightfully surreal indie adventure tells a surprisingly bittersweet story but is sure to leave you feeling happy when you're done.
Golem review
This beautiful side-scrolling adventure towers over much of its puzzle-platforming contemporaries with a charming tale of unlikely friendship.
Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love review
This point-and-click political satire pulls out all the stops in delivering a highly polished and thoroughly entertaining experience.
3 GEEKS review
This comic French adventure shows plenty of offbeat premise, but crashes back to Earth due to horrible translation and other design issues.
Yorkshire Gubbins review
Crikey, this short, simple retro-styled adventure presents a hilariously snarky slice of life in a quaint and quirky British town.
