Memoria (2013)
Memoria is an alluring journey nestled in a beautiful setting, but lacks the character depth and narrative focus necessary for true greatness.
The Unfinished Swan (2012)
The Unfinished Swan is a creative experiment that’s worth a play, even if some aspects feel incomplete.
Nightmare Adventures: The Turning Thorn (2013)
If you embrace the silly side in between the scares, both Nightmare Adventures offer a fun, puzzle-filled romp through a tale about twisted family bloodlines and paranormal exploration.
Nightmare Adventures: The Witch’s Prison (2010)
If you embrace the silly side in between the scares, both Nightmare Adventures offer a fun, puzzle-filled romp through a tale about twisted family bloodlines and paranormal exploration.
The Walking Dead: 400 Days (2013)
The five single-character segments in 400 Days results in fleeting bouts of entertainment that are cut short too early and only tease at the prospect of something more substantial.
Face Noir (2013)
Face Noir is a genuinely entertaining adventure for fans of private eye mysteries, and a solid debut for a promising developer, even if it’s only half of a story.
Kentucky Route Zero: Act II (2013)
Kentucky Route Zero‘s second act keeps things weird, but feels a tad slight and uneventful compared to the first.
Nancy Drew: Ghost of Thornton Hall (2013)
It may not be very spooky or offer any new ideas, but Ghost of Thornton Hall is quite entertaining if you’re up for sleuthing your way through a haunted southern manor.
Dragonsphere (1994)
Dragonsphere is a short but fairly sweet fantasy quest that redeems its two-dimensional characters with enjoyable gameplay, an intriguing setting and a memorable second act – and it’s now free!
Quantumnauts: Chapter 2 - Black Hole Happens (2013)
The second Quantumnauts instalment is a lighthearted sci-fi indie adventure with polished visuals and a good sense of fun, though its loose story structure darkens the experience somewhat.
Dominique Pamplemousse in “It’s All Over Once the Fat Lady Sings!” (2013)
Indie entries like Deirdra Kiai’s Dominique Pamplemousse are welcome in a genre where innovation is rare. However, a short and easy noir adventure with claymation characters singing their lines will certainly not be for everyone.
Cold Case Summer (2013)
Despite its dated production values, virtual tourists and amateur crime buffs will enjoy investigating one of Sweden’s most famous true crimes in Cold Case Summer.
Reality Show: Fatal Shot (2012)
Better than most of its television counterparts, you’ll likely have fun playing your way across the back lots of this Reality Show.
Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller - Episode 2: The Wise Monkey (2013)
Not many adventures have as much dark storytelling ambition as Cognition—endure the awkward conversations to get to the puzzles and story developments, and you’ll be glad you stuck with it.
Egypt II: The Heliopolis Prophecy (2000)
Despite a frustrating shift in gameplay focus toward the end, Egypt II: The Heliopolis Prophecy is a great example of how games with exciting mysteries to solve can include history lessons without being boring.
The Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles (2012)
The Critter Chronicles adopts enough of the positive qualities of its predecessor to deliver another enjoyable adventure, but skids on some crucial issues to land somewhat short of true excellence.
Haunted (2012)
Haunted is a fun and well-balanced adventure that’s highly enjoyable on the surface, but lacks the depth to be truly great.
Nancy Drew: The Deadly Device (2012)
Despite its slow start and limited exploration, The Deadly Device provides a good jolt to the franchise with its compelling story and fun puzzles.
Chaos on Deponia (2012)
Very similar to its predecessor with a few improvements in pacing and story, Chaos on Deponia is a solid adventure that fans of LucasArts-style comedies will likely enjoy.
Oz Orwell and the Crawling Chaos (2012)
Arguably Midian Design’s best game to date, Oz Orwell and the Crawling Chaos easily overcomes its lack of production polish with a fascinating horror / paranormal detective story.
