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.
The Sinking City review
Frogwares' Lovecraftian action-adventure is somewhat dragged down by its own ambition, but ultimately emerges as an enjoyably atmospheric thriller.
The Land of the Seazogs review
Delve beneath the minimalist pixel art and you'll catch a fun and surprisingly challenging little sci-fi indie adventure.
Layers of Fear 2 review
The horror sequel gets a slick new setting but feels like more of the same house of horrors experience with little story clarity and even less gameplay.
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.
Observation review
Sci-fi fans will want to take a close look at this clever space station thriller in which players control the onboard artificial intelligence – or do they?
Harvester of Dreams: Episode 1 review
Though it deflates somewhat by the end, this first-person steampunk puzzler is generally a fun ride while it lasts, with the promise of more to come.
ZED review
More psychological mystery than Myst-like, this beautifully surreal first-person adventure presents a compelling story of fragmented memories to piece together.
STARDROP review
This slick little indie spacecraft exploration fumbles away much of its gameplay potential, but manages to tell a stellar story in its place.
Chook & Sosig: Walk the Plank review
The spindly cat and ghost chicken's first commercial outing is a delightfully charming, pirate-themed comic indie treasure.
Golem review
This beautiful side-scrolling adventure towers over much of its puzzle-platforming contemporaries with a charming tale of unlikely friendship.
Sumatra: Fate of Yandi review
It may be a jungle out there, but within this tropical island adventure is a fun, nostalgia-filled experience that is destined to be compared to early '90s Sierra.
Draugen review
Red Thread's "fjord noir" adventure is a gorgeous yet haunting exploratory mystery that's undermined by disappointingly few answers.
Lucius III review
Marked by narrative, design and technical issues alike, the son of Satan's series finale is doomed from the start.
Close to the Sun review
An otherwise decent Tesla-inspired thriller is held back somewhat by watered-down gameplay and horror elements.
