Wailing Heights (2016)
Wailing Heights is a stylish ballad of comic horror. The plot could be stronger and there are a few technical bum notes, but it’ll leave you with a wolfish grin.
Kelvin and the Infamous Machine (2016)
Much like its classic inspirations, Kelvin and the Infamous Machine is a fun romp through a wacky history that is good for anyone looking for a lighthearted adventure.
Panmorphia (2014)
An impressive first entry from Indie developer Lydia Kovalenko, Panmorphia straddles the divide between traditional and casual adventure, providing a leisurely, dream-like journey through a puzzle-dazzled world.
Order of the Thorne: The King’s Challenge (2016)
With its hand-painted 320x200 backgrounds, modest pacing and exploration focus, The King’s Challenge is a solid Golden Age-style fairy tale adventure that stumbles only in its overly serious tone.
The Land of Lamia: World of Monsters (2015)
The Land of Lamia is a quiet yet intriguing little project featuring a fantastical world and satisfying puzzles, but it doesn’t feel like a full game and will ultimately leave you wanting more.
Message Quest (2015)
Message Quest is great for a lite adventure breather in between heavier games, offering an hour or two of fun without too much thinking involved.
else Heart.Break() (2015)
Pushing the envelope in several key ways that will appeal to those who are adequately equipped, else Heart.Break() is that rare game that’s enjoyable and yet can’t be outright recommended for all to play.
Armikrog. (2015)
Those who appreciate outrageous locales will be thrilled with Armikrog’s out-of-this-world visuals, and puzzle lovers will find plenty to entertain, but anyone looking for a smooth gameplay experience will find themselves sometimes stuck in the mud.
Home is Where One Starts… (2015)
There certainly isn’t much in the way of actual gameplay, but Home Is Where One Starts is recommended if you enjoy interactive experiences that evoke curiosity and provide a wistful, mysterious atmosphere. Just understand that most of the answers (as well as many of the questions) are left completely up to you.
Leadlight Gamma (2015)
Packed full of horror-filled fun, Leadlight Gamma is a retro text adventure worth checking out for those not averse to some light RPG elements.
Neverending Nightmares (2014)
Neverending Nightmares plays more like an interactive illustrated horror book than a game, but its chilling art and sound design make for a memorably surreal experience.
Jazzpunk (2014)
Games don’t come much goofier than this – Jazzpunk serves up nonstop, breathless absurdity, if not much else.
The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief - Chapter Three: A Murder of Ravens (2013)
A Murder of Ravens ends the story on a cheap note and doesn’t quite live up to the promise laid out in the opening, but it’s certainly more fun than the preceding chapter.
The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief (2013)
A Murder of Ravens ends the story on a cheap note and doesn’t quite live up to the promise laid out in the opening, but it’s certainly more fun than the preceding chapter.
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.
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.
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.
Deponia (2012)
With its 2D cartoon aesthetic, simple point-and-click interface, and challenging puzzles, Deponia is classic old-school adventuring in many ways, making it worth playing even when the storytelling falters.
Penumbra: Overture (2007)
The emphasis on physics adds a unique dimension to Penumbra: Overture. If you're willing to sacrifice story for atmosphere, it's a decent catch for horror fans, but those looking for point-and-click fare may be turned off by unavoidable action elements.
Leprechaun Shadow (2019)
A touch of noir to Leprechaun Shadow breathes fresh life into Sir Typhil’s fantasy adventure series, though a long, unpolished RPG portion can be a bit hard to swallow.
McPixel (2012)
It’s certainly an acquired taste, but McPixel can be a hoot in small doses when embraced as a manic, rapid-fire celebration of all the worst aspects of retro adventure games.
