Elea: Episode 1 review
This first-person sci-fi series begins a voyage of discovery that leads nowhere fast in its debut installment.
KURSK review
The self-proclaimed 'adventure-documentary' about the real-world Russian sub disaster looks authentic but is sunk by its lifeless story and turgid gameplay.
The Witch’s House MV review
It's trying at times, but this commercial remaster of the popular 2012 free horror adventure is packed with deadly delights.
The Fall of Lazarus review
This first-person sci-fi adventure offers an intriguing backstory to reward exploration, but can't fully rise above its bland production values and underwhelming puzzles.
Detective Di: The Silk Rose Murders review
This ancient Chinese murder mystery with thorny political entanglements is a highly compelling investigative adventure loosely stemming from real historical events.
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.
Herald: Book I & II review
The first half of this four-part interactive period drama cruises right along with memorable characters, immersive setting and compelling slow-burn story.
Pode review
This environmental puzzler manages to square engaging local co-op mechanics with a nicely rounded single player experience.
Hypnospace Outlaw review
Don't sleep on this thoroughly unique, often hilarious, meticulously crafted ode to the early days of the Internet.
The Mystery of Woolley Mountain review
This comic time travel romp is a charming, distinctly British point-and-click adventure with far more peaks than valleys.
Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey review
Arthurian legends vs. Jack the Ripper makes for a compelling premise, but too many design and technical issues dog this highly linear interactive story.
Guard Duty review
Those on the lookout for a classic-styled comic adventure will find much to like in this sci-fi fantasy journey through two vastly different timelines.
Heaven’s Vault review
The only translation issues will be your own in inkle's substantial, beautifully written archeological adventure with its own ancient language to decipher.
Photographs review
There's little negative to say about this surprisingly dark but deeply compelling indie adventure that alternates five minigame types and anthology narrative segments.
The Puppet of Tersa: A Curious Place review
This point-and-click fantasy adventure gets off to a wonderful start, though as an episodic debut the journey pulls up just as it's getting started.
