Anna - Extended Edition (2012)
The Extended Edition of Anna is a definite improvement over the original, though there’s still nothing that really jumps out for horror fans (except for the now-dangerous poltergeists).
Miskatonic: Part 1 - The Inhuman Stain (2011)
The first Miskatonic installment shows some promise from a one-man indie developer who clearly loves the genre, but it leaves plenty of room for improvement in the upcoming episodes.
The Shine of a Star (2012)
The Shine of a Star provides a charming but frustrating hour-long journey through a surreal world that’s light on puzzles but dark in every other way.
The Jolly Gang’s Misadventures in Africa (2011)
The Jolly Gang's Misadventures in Africa fixes some of its predecessor's design flaws and considerably improves the puzzles, but still disappoints with its often-ambiguous gameplay and subpar production quality.
Cardboard Castle (2011)
Cardboard Castle is a creative puzzler that thinks outside the box, but it's a missed opportunity with repetitive obstacles and a throwaway story about nothing much.
A Stroke of Fate: Operation Valkyrie (2011)
As the first of two parts, Operation Valkyrie is recommended (with the sound off) for World War II history enthusiasts only, and even then you may want to wait for the sequel’s release.
Relics: Dark Hours (2011)
The only real highlight of Relics: Dark Hours is its full-motion video presentation, as many of the other elements are cursed by poor implementation.
NCIS (2011)
While in some ways this resembles the NCIS fans known and love, it's ultimately a shallow and unsatisfying experience that fails to capitalise on the strengths of the TV show and offers little challenge as a game.
Eko: Strange New World - Episode 1 (2011)
The colourful, cartoony Eko initially showed some promise as a series debut, but it’s seriously compromised by its lack of depth, polish and ease.
Puzzle Agent 2 (2011)
Puzzle Agent 2 takes a disappointing step backward, failing to resolve key criticisms from the first instalment whilst introducing new problems of its own.
