2023 looks good!
I made a small list of adventure games I`m looking for and which have a chance for 2023 release. Many interesting titles here 
3 Minutes to Midnight - Scarecrow Studio
Asyulum - Senscape
Between Horizons - DigiTales Interactive
Colossal Cave 3D - Cygnus Entertainment
Dustborn - RED Thread Games
The Expanse - Telltale Games
Firmament - Cyan Worlds
Fogtown: Mystery of the Missing Crime - Fogtown Games
The Mystery of Oak Island - Visionaire Studio
Nighthawks - Wadjet Eye Games
Old Skies - Wadjet Eye Games
Once Upon a Time… Life: Origins - Gambit Game Studio
Plot of the Druid - Adventure4Life Studios
Rosewater - Grundislav Games
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened - Frogware Games
Simon the Sorcerer: Origins - Smallthing Studios
Sky of Tides - Lofty Sky Entertainment
Space Venture - Guys from Andromeda
STASIS 2: Bone Totem - The Brotherhood
Tintin Reporter – Cigars of the Pharaoh - Pendulo Studios
Tormentum II - OhNoo Studios
The Will of Arthur Flabbington - Gugames
The Wolf Among Us 2 - Telltale Games
Playing: 1) Broken Sword 5 2) Road 96
For me personally that list has too many remakes, sequels and Kickstarter games years behind their estimated release. Of course they can be good games as such, but nothing that would be really exciting.
I quickly browsed through my wishlist for estimated 2023 releases and here are some that I think are potentially interesting:
The Abandoned Planet
Bioid
Foolish Mortals
The Isle Tide Hotel
Jerry Wanker and the Quest to get Laid
Lempo
Midnight Girl
Port Valley
Scene Investigators
SEASON: A letter to the future
They Are Here: Alien Abduction Horror
This Bed We Made
Tourist Trap
Watchman
飞越13号房
飞越13号房
OK, this one has been released, and the English title seems to be Breakout 13, which is used in icon graphics and next to buy button.
Very confusingly, the official game name is in Chinese and trying to search the game with the English title is not finding the game.
I’m greatly looking forward to Zid Journey and Signal & Echo among others.
I haven’t advertised it much yet but hoping to release Captain Disaster and the Two Worlds of Riskara in 2023. I’m working on it with Lorenzo, creator of the Clotilde games and Where Did the Humans Go (winner of the $106 Adventure Game Challenge).
We haven’t said much about it yet because we’re working on getting the Steam store page up and preparing a demo, but just to give you an idea of the art style (not necessarily final quality):
Jerry Wanker and the Quest to get Laid

Currently, I’m most intrigued by Colossal Cave. I’ve often wondered what Roberta Williams’ games would have played out had she continued in the business and now as she and Ken are dipping their hand in the business after so long absence, it’ll be interesting to see in what direction the game goes.
If there is another game of Captain Disaster in 2023, then I am really excited about it!

I made a small list of adventure games I`m looking for and which have a chance for 2023 release. Many interesting titles here
Asylum - Senscape
Is that the running joke for every year’s most anticipated games? I’m sure it’s going to appear on every list until the end of time lol
But seriously there’s a bunch from that list I’m really looking forward like Old Skies, STASIS 2 the Tintin one, Wolf Among Us 2. When it comes to adventures though my thing now is just to take them as they come. I know adventures just like indies in general have a hard time sticking to release schedules or to even come out at all. Many of my favorite games from recent years have come out of nowhere. I didn’t know they existed until they dropped and either get great reviews or just people talking about them.

If their own messaging is to be believed, it’s coming this year.
Selected quotes from a Kickstarter update that was released a month ago:
“So here’s a quick, backer-only writeup to address the pressing concerns: Asylum is very much part of our plans for 2023. The game is in a situation in which it can be played fully from A to Z, design-complete. All puzzles have been implemented. One of the last pending issues we had when it comes to game logic was a branching area that wasn’t working well – people could play it any order and enable a series of puzzles that were confusing without context. The solution came following a fantastic team effort, and overall design is now set on stone. Anyone can play the game without hints or guidance and understand how to resolve it.”
“Asylum is very much alive and kicking, and the planning we’ve done for the project recently has paid off. Senscape as a company has matured a lot during the past year (we’re now 30 people!) and I can tell you that 2023 is going to be our breakthrough year.”
At least they still have 50 weeks left to deliver it, so at the moment time is kind of on their side, but if those things which they also list still missing from the game take a long time to complete, then perhaps you will see the game again in the list of most anticipated 2024 game releases!

Anybody who at this point believes anything Cordes says is somewhere on the spectrum naive <—> utter fool.
Selected quotes from a Kickstarter update that was released a month ago:
[...]“All puzzles have been implemented.”
Implementing all the puzzles was supposed to be a milestone 4 or 5 years ago.
“Senscape as a company has matured a lot during the past year (we’re now 30 people!)”
Thirty people. Just let that sink in for a minute.
Here are more quotes from the update:
“For cutscenes, we brought a couple new folks to the team that are solely focusing on this aspect, with the goal to create striking cinematic moments to completement the experience we have in store for you.”
After TEN years of development there are still no cutscenes.
“Text revisions means we have to consolidate different writing styles, as well as some portions that were drafted or still placeholder content. This one is on me,”
Cordes is very longwinded, just look at the updates or the demo. It also means the text needs to be edited by a native English speaker. Which takes time. And then there’s the voice acting. Did the voice acting even get mentioned?
No, the game will not be released this year.

I just found a very promising one:
Murder On Space Station 52
Somehow I was not aware of that game, even though I try to follow different forums and all, but I was looking for something completely different on Steam, and then that name was in the search results, I looked it up, and it was very interesting.
I just remembered one title I’m interested in.
The Invincible. It is based on a sci-fi book of the same name by Stanislaw Lem and looks pretty good.
For me personally that list has too many remakes, sequels and Kickstarter games years behind their estimated release. Of course they can be good games as such, but nothing that would be really exciting.
I quickly browsed through my wishlist for estimated 2023 releases and here are some that I think are potentially interesting:
Scene Investigators
You may be disappointed (or not) to know that EQ Studios are having a Kickstarter campaign for Scene Investigators starting 24th January. The good news about it is so that they can complete the game that they want it to be. Given how good Painscreek Killings was (in my opinion of course ) I’m hopeful that their roadmap is clearly delineated but we’ll see what they put up on the 24th.
Life is what it is.
Found another very interesting looking game called Afterdream.
Here is my humble contribution:
Casebook 1899 - The Leipzig Murders
Currently translating Strangeland into Spanish. Wish me luck, or send me money to my Paypal haha
I’m so out of context, haven’t even heard about 90% of those titles 
I’m currently waiting for Gobliiins 5, Gilhodes promised to finish it soon. Not waiting for Asylum, at this point it just feels like an unwanted child, and also looks somewhat dated in a bad way. Tried to replay Scratches recently and quit, it also didn’t age well, not to mention it became very glitchy, almost unplayable.
