Latest Adventure Games News

Where once there was bustling activity, now there is only silence. No, we're not talking about our once-thriving city streets during this unprecedented period of stay-at-home isolation, but rather the scenic locale in Lapso, an upcoming exploratory adventure from Tenerife-based indie developer islaOliva Games.

Most sci-fi adventure games are about mankind trying to learn more about alien worlds in order to survive. Indie developer Tom Kaleta's upcoming EBE, however, is about an alien lifeform who's trying to learn more about us, though survival is still an ongoing concern.

School can be a horror story even without any otherworldly presence, but all the more so when one is haunted by supernatural entities, as is the case in indie Polish developer Artur Łączkowski's upcoming Death of Rose. 

Most hotels aren't seeing much business of late, but the same can't be said of Hotel Sowls, the namesake setting of indie two-man developer Studio Sott's surreal black-and-white mystery adventure. 

Say this about Leisure Suit Larry: he sure is persistent. No amount of rejections, snubs, or lonely lights will keep him from pursuing a life of love (or at least lust). Not even a sudden leap forward into the modern world was able to slow him down, as everyone's favourite sex-starved loveable loser is returning this fall in Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice.

Establishing contact with an alien race and saving the world is child's play when compared to the real challenges of teenagers: surviving high school. We can now be reminded of that fact in rather amusing terms in indie developer Space Indie Studios' newly released point-and-click sci-fi adventure, Sol 705.

In 2018, indie German developer Manuel Schenk brought us the quirky little comic adventure Nelson and the Magic Cauldron. Now Schenk hopes to bring Nelson back for brand new adventure, subtitled The Journey, though once again he's going to need a little Kickstarter magic to make it happen.

Most adventure games rely on brains over brawn, but indie French developer Ernestine's newly released isometric puzzler An Interesting Journey of Monsieur PAF will require a whole lot of both: you supply the intelligence, and the titular hero will provide the muscle. 

The older one gets, the more one is inclined to look back at a lifetime of experiences – both the good times and the bad, with all the baggage that entails. Such an inward reflection will be getting a very outward expression in indie two-man German developer Third Shift's upcoming narrative-driven adventure, Forever Ago. 

Nancy Drew has more than thirty adventure games to her credit and Carol Reed fifteen, but Marcella Moon seems determined to make up ground in a hurry. Just a few short months after the amateur sleuth's first case in Secret on the Hill, the young journalist will be off to solve another crime in Saboteurs on the River. 

Sci-fi nerds, rejoice! Retro-styled adventure game fans, too, as the forces of both are strong in indie developer Tibba Games' upcoming Stellar Mess.

Many sci-fi adventures point to machines as the inevitable downfall of humanity. But in indie developer Sea Monster Media's upcoming sci-fi comic adventure Dexter Stardust, one lone robot may just might hold the secret to our survival – with a little help from a most unlikely human hero, that is. 

There's something inherently scary about the dark, but in horror games there are more figurative types of darkness that can be just as frightening, if not more so. You'll need to deal with both kinds of terrors in the newly released debut installment of indie developer Lexip Games' Dark Room trilogy.

It seems there's a common belief that the surest sign of intelligent life on other planets is whether they leave us a treasure trove of puzzles to solve once we get there. Fortunately for adventure fans, this is true once again in indie developer Antler Interactive's newly released Krystopia: Nova's Journey.

Stranga Games has previously graced us with two self-funded adventures, Just Ignore Them and My Big Sister, but the solo indie developer's next game is going to take a little financial help to become reality.
