Cooperation is important when obstacles can only be overcome by working together.

Jack the Ripper apparently wasn't the only one wreaking havoc in late 19th century London, as an even darker supernatural mystery was occurring in a madman's home at the exact same time, as we'll find out in Freesphere's upcoming 'proper British cosmic horror story' Necropolis Suite.

The good news is: death isn't the end. The bad news is: what awaits is anything but heaven and it falls to you to rescue the very plane of afterlife existence. Then again, for adventure gamers used to saving the world, that may be even better news when indie Spanish developer SandBloom Studio's DE-EXIT: Eternal Matters arrives on PC.

As horrible as a plague is for all of society once it begins spreading, how much harder must it be on doctors toiling day and night to help the sick and dying?

Adventure gamers are good at stealing things. How else can you end up with an inventory full of purloined items required to solve puzzles?

The combination of voodoo and detective work has an accomplished pedigree in the adventure genre, and indie developer Short Sleeve Studios’ is hoping to recapture that same magic with their aptly named upcoming 2D point-and-click adventure, Voodoo Detective.

It’s always a treat when an older game gets rereleased for modern operating systems. It’s even more welcome when said game had never officially been translated into your own language until then. That is precisely the case for English speakers with the 1998 Polish cartoon adventure Galador: The Prince and the Coward, which has now been officially localized and is now available to download more than two decades after its initial launch.

February 2nd may be the famous recurring date for Bill Murray's Groundhog Day, but November 11th marks the launch of Elusive Panda's own time-loop adventure, Henry's Day.

Thoughout history, royal succession has often been fraught with intrigue and peril. And if Cosmic Void's upcoming science fantasy adventure Blood Nova is any indication, it will continue to be far into the future and across the entire universe. 

An artist’s life is one of extremes. The desire to create can be all-consuming, even when inspiration has faded.
