Epanalepsis review
This minimalist short story starts out strongly, but can't repeat its early success through multiple eras of abstraction.
Lucius II: The Prophecy review
More murder sim than adventure, the sequel is condemned by shoddy programming and hellish design decisions.
Her Story review
This unique video database mystery is a testimony to the combined strengths of FMV and text adventure.
Sunset review
All's fair in love and war, but reactions will run both warm and cool to Tale of Tales' latest interactive story.
Kholat review
This Russian mountain thriller offers plenty of chilling exploration, but any further gameplay is largely MIA.
Rituals review
This hour-long minimalist adventure raises key questions about man vs. nature, but can't nurture its ideas to fulfilling completion.
Toren review
Though budding with Ico-style promise, this brief platforming adventure soon buckles under a tower of problems.
Subject 13 review
Puzzle lovers are in luck with Paul Cuisset's new sci-fi adventure, but will rarely be put to a serious test.
Homesick review
This short first-person adventure is rich in melancholy atmosphere, but its flimsy story isn't much to write home about.
Nancy Drew: Sea of Darkness review
The teen sleuth's 31st adventure is a chilling Icelandic mystery, though it doesn't shine as brightly as some of her best.
Leadlight Gamma review
This amusingly gruesome retro text adventure offers a fighting chance at surviving its many deadly challenges.
Drizzlepath review
This exploratory journey has plenty of gorgeous environments, but no puzzles and only a sprinkling of obscure storytelling along the way.
Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock review
Remade for commercial re-release, this short but decent sci-fi adventure rarely elevates above its modest ambitions.
Technobabylon review
Wadjet Eye constructs another fine sci-fi adventure, this time in collaboration with Technocrat Games.
House of Caravan review
This Gone Home-style adventure is rich in atmospheric exploration but keeps you feeling largely in the dark.
