AntVentor (2018)
Consistent enjoyment of AntVentor is hindered by its gameplay frustrations, but its charming main character and gorgeous visual design make for an interesting first stepping stone for the rest of the trilogy.
Trackless (2017)
Trackless feels like it’s trying to offer some kind of social commentary, but any deeper meaning remains unclear, and nothing of any substance is ever revealed. In the end, that leaves us with a cool blend of puzzle styles that is perhaps worth a single cursory playthrough for those looking for something a little different.
Black Mirror (2017)
A brief reboot of the cult classic series, Black Mirror does well to pile more richly atmospheric doom and gloom on the Gordon family, but is hobbled by creaking mechanics and poor design decisions.
Agatha Knife (2017)
Although Agatha Knife boasts strong writing and eye-catching artwork, its design problems ultimately crush much of the fun prospective players are likely to find.
Doorways: Holy Mountains of Flesh (2016)
Awkwardly blending puzzles and platforming in uneven measures, the frequently un-scary Doorways: Holy Mountains of Flesh is nevertheless a marginal step up from its predecessors.
Tick’s Tales: Up All Knight (2016)
A lighthearted distraction that may be more appreciated by the younger crowd, Tick’s Tales has a degree of charm but never really delves into anything more substantial or interesting.
Dreamfall Chapters (2016)
An ambitious sequel to 2006’s Dreamfall, Chapters is worth playing to see how the saga ends but doesn’t hold up as a standalone adventure.
Dreamfall Chapters: Book One - Reborn (2014)
An ambitious sequel to 2006’s Dreamfall, Chapters is worth playing to see how the saga ends but doesn’t hold up as a standalone adventure.
Dreamfall Chapters: Book Two - Rebels (2015)
An ambitious sequel to 2006’s Dreamfall, Chapters is worth playing to see how the saga ends but doesn’t hold up as a standalone adventure.
Dreamfall Chapters: Book Three - Realms (2015)
An ambitious sequel to 2006’s Dreamfall, Chapters is worth playing to see how the saga ends but doesn’t hold up as a standalone adventure.
Dreamfall Chapters: Book Four - Revelations (2015)
An ambitious sequel to 2006’s Dreamfall, Chapters is worth playing to see how the saga ends but doesn’t hold up as a standalone adventure.
Dreamfall Chapters: Book Five - Redux (2016)
An ambitious sequel to 2006’s Dreamfall, Chapters is worth playing to see how the saga ends but doesn’t hold up as a standalone adventure.
Knee Deep (2015)
Knee Deep is proof that, while it may sound great on paper, a game needs more than neat ideas to come together successfully. A swamp-noir murder mystery performed on stage is no doubt a novel idea, but the story is far from satisfying, ranging from inconsistent to completely off the rails in the final chapter.
Knee Deep: Act 1 - Wonderland (2015)
Knee Deep is proof that, while it may sound great on paper, a game needs more than neat ideas to come together successfully. A swamp-noir murder mystery performed on stage is no doubt a novel idea, but the story is far from satisfying, ranging from inconsistent to completely off the rails in the final chapter.
Knee Deep: Act 2 - Festival (2015)
Knee Deep is proof that, while it may sound great on paper, a game needs more than neat ideas to come together successfully. A swamp-noir murder mystery performed on stage is no doubt a novel idea, but the story is far from satisfying, ranging from inconsistent to completely off the rails in the final chapter.
Knee Deep: Act 3 - Boomtown (2016)
Knee Deep is proof that, while it may sound great on paper, a game needs more than neat ideas to come together successfully. A swamp-noir murder mystery performed on stage is no doubt a novel idea, but the story is far from satisfying, ranging from inconsistent to completely off the rails in the final chapter.
Pulse (2015)
A blind protagonist makes for a distinctive aesthetic in Pulse, but those looking for a coherent story or compelling gameplay will find neither here.
Masochisia (2015)
Relentlessly, unapologetically bleak, Masochisia trades gameplay for light exploration and a story with only two player-driven shades: dark and darker.
Dropsy (2015)
The one-of-a-kind Dropsy’s heart is absolutely in the right place, but it’s tough to fully embrace a game with so much unwelcome filler.
Whispering Willows (2014)
Whispering Willows has an engaging story and superlative production quality, but fails to build on its strengths, eventually becoming an exercise in drudgery due to its insipid quests and irritating game design.
Bik (2014)
Bik is a fairly decent retro indie effort with some funky music, comedic touches, and welcome puzzle variety, but weak writing and bland environments limit the enjoyment.
Moebius: Empire Rising (2014)
While mildly entertaining at times, Moebius is disappointingly light on the charm, intrigue, and ingenuity that marked Jane Jensen’s earlier work.
Detective Case and Clown Bot: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon (2013)
Detective Case and Clown Bot’s fun plot and interesting characters get obscured by uneven and potentially offensive jokes, one-trick gameplay, and poor audio quality.
Montague’s Mount: Episode One (2013)
The debut installment of Montague’s Mount is very pretty and atmospheric, but the lack of plot, puzzles or scares so far should have you waiting until the next episode before you decide whether to climb on.
Trauma (2011)
This experimental adventure has some interesting ideas and deserves credit for trying something different, but Trauma ends up feeling far too shallow and short.
Poltergeist Treasure (2018)
The presence of a few decent adventure environments and puzzles can’t save the weak stealth game that is Sir Typhil’s second medieval fantasy outing, Poltergeist Treasure.
The Sundew (2021)
The Sundew is very nice to look at and attempts to use its cyberpunk setting to cover intriguing thematic ground, but its story, gameplay and presentation come up short in just about every other way that matters.
