Hermitage: Strange Case Files review
This lengthy Lovecraftian visual novel mystery anthology makes staying home worthwhile to enjoy its rich atmosphere and storytelling.
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles review
The verdict is in, and this 19th century two-games-in-one prequel more than does justice to its beloved predecessors.
The World After review
First came the pandemic lockdown, followed by this modest little FMV sci-fi mystery whose scenic French village is the one thing you're sure to look back on fondly.
The Dark Side of the Moon review
Its cheesy B movie fun is a highlight, but there's very little gameplay or challenge to tide you over in this short live-action sci-fi thriller.
Cyanide & Happiness: Freakpocalypse – Part 1: Hall Pass to Hell review
Delivering all the kooky characters and pun-laden hijinks expected from the popular web comic, it's a shame the end comes just when things are getting interesting.
ENCODYA review
There's no hidden secret behind what makes this gorgeous dystopian cyberpunk adventure such a compelling point-and-click experience.
The Button Witch review
A few technical issues can't undo all the good achieved by the lovely aesthetic and puzzle-filled gameplay of this JRPG-styled adventure.
Enypnion review
It may be too short to leave a lasting impression, but this lovely dark fantasy adventure provides a fun little break from reality to fill a couple hours.
Hiveswap: Act 2 – Dead Freight review
Another gorgeous, entertaining installment of the four-part Homestuck series arrives, though its story chugs along at a somewhat diminished pace.
Shut In review
This impressively atmospheric pixel art adventure about dealing with agoraphobia gets the most out of its confined environment and limited play time.
Dude, Where Is My Beer? review
This classic-styled adventure starts out a charming cure for whatever might ail you, though the lack of proper ending will surely fail to quench anyone's thirst.
Buck Bradley Comic Adventure 2: The Sand and the Techno-pyramid review
The first commercial installment in this graphic novel-styled series is beautiful but ultimately ground down by weak writing and a number of mounting design issues.
When the Past Was Around review
This lovely, wordless adventure won't pose much challenge but presents an emotionally touching story about love and loss, and all the strings attached.
Lancelot’s Hangover: The Quest for the Holy Booze review
A visually distinctive, thoroughly irreverent medieval romp is what's on tap in this fun Monty Python-inspired point-and-click comic adventure.
Jessika review
This Her Story-styled digital detective mystery gets an inspired one-woman performance, though some of the gameplay elements aren't much to write home about.
