The Cassandra Galleries (1997)
A nice, mild romp, but not a genre-definer by any stretch of the imagination.
Kraken Academy!! (2021)
Kraken Academy!!’s strengths are largely skin deep, let down by the lack of focus and care put into its gameplay and story. Amusing, quirky characters may keep you going for a while, but this isn’t a game you really want to be stuck in as time loops repeatedly.
Sable (2021)
Sable is a visually interesting game with a unique concept and setting, but uninspired gameplay, sparse characterization and a staggering number of technical issues prevent it from realizing most of its lofty goals.
Fire Tonight (2021)
Fire Tonight’s story of two lovers separated by a city going up in flames is charming enough while it lasts. Unfortunately, the attempt to reunite them isn’t nearly as exciting as it sounds, and the whole adventure is only marginally longer than the song on which it’s based.
Supposedly Wonderful Future (2018)
Supposedly Wonderful Future feels a bit like a cross between a heady sci-fi visual novel and a social experiment, focused on recording players’ choices when faced with moral dilemmas. Unfortunately, none of these are implemented in a way that serves the story in a meaningful way, making the experience, while unique, ultimately flat and unfulfilling.
Don’t Forget Me (2021)
There are promising aspects of Don’t Forget Me, like its choice-based storyline and thought-provoking gameplay concepts, but clunky writing, poor localization and flawed puzzle implementation keep it from realizing much of its potential.
Sol 705 (2020)
Indie sci-fi adventure Sol 705 is a bit of a curate’s egg: packing too many ideas into too little time, the result is charmingly odd but frustratingly undercooked.
An Interesting Journey of Monsieur PAF (2020)
With such finicky, problematic controls, a bit of third-party key-mapping magic may be your best bet to bring out the fun, colourful, puzzle-solving romp through ancient ruins at the heart of An Interesting Journey of Monsieur PAF.
Sense – A Cyberpunk Ghost Story (2020)
Rallying in its final third to finish on a high note, Sense – A Cyberpunk Ghost Story just manages to overcome its earlier humdrum sections with a multilayered tale of deceased souls.
Dark Nights with Poe & Munro (2020)
A mix of the supernatural and saucy, Dark Nights with Poe & Munro excites with witty exchanges and Lynchian tales that come undone by unclear choice and pacing.
We. The Revolution (2019)
We. The Revolution’s striking looks and memorable moments are all too often overshadowed by myriad gameplay mechanics and a constrained, confusing plot.
Some Distant Memory (2019)
Some Distant Memory tackles serious topics—love, mortality, and environmental destruction chief among them—but its short playtime means it never has the chance to explore them in much depth, and its discovery-based play style may leave players wishing they had more to do.
Headspun (2019)
It has an interesting, thought-provoking story and takes an innovative approach in combining different gaming genres, but Headspun’s implementation is uneven and results in equal measures of fun and frustration.
Night Call (2019)
Night Call is neither a great mystery nor a great cabbie simulator, but if you like dialogue and weird characters, this unique visual novel-style adventure is an interesting distraction.
The Black Widow (2019)
The Black Widow is an interesting reflection on the real life case of Louisa Collins, the last woman hanged in Australia, but doesn’t provide enough depth or any surprises to make it truly memorable.
The Occupation (2019)
There’s a fair bit of fun to be had sneaking about the workplace in this first-person fixed-time thriller at first, but The Occupation ends up overstaying its welcome due to some clumsy implementation.
WILL: A Wonderful World (2018)
If a unique and lengthy visual novel is what you’re craving, WILL: A Wonderful World could fill that particular void. So long as you can accept its rapid tonal shifts, constant despair, and uneven writing, the fate-shaping wordplay delivers something fresh and enticing.
Lovecraft Quest – A Comix Game (2018)
Stylish to look at but short on substance, Lovecraft Quest: A Comix Game has a few fun puzzles to beef up its brief story, but too much repetition stops it from becoming a Great One.
The Franz Kafka Videogame (2017)
The Franz Kafka Videogame offers a highly surreal taste of the renowned author’s works in a linear puzzle-oriented experience, but lacks enough depth to truly do them justice.
Detective Case and Clown Bot: The Express Killer (2018)
The Express Killer’s eagerness to entertain is a breath of fresh air at first, but its relentless surrealism and some unnecessary pixel hunting soon undermine its creative mini-games and plot twists.
