Still There (2019)
Still There’s elaborate puzzles and willfully obscure explanations may scare off casual players, but stick with this meditative adventure and you’ll find much to enjoy within its thoughtful depiction of a lonely life in space.
The Bradwell Conspiracy (2019)
With a fun off-screen companion and an interesting story to delve into based on real-world concerns, The Bradwell Conspiracy is a fairly enjoyable experience even if a weak ending and an assortment of glitches hold it back from its full potential.
Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure (2019)
Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure looks amazing and will make you laugh, but its inability to tell a coherent story prevents this comedy cosmic horror adventure from fulfilling its abundant potential.
Close to the Sun (2019)
Close to the Sun is a decent enough exploratory mystery, but it misses the boat on substantial gameplay or any real horror by settling for cheap thrills over suspense.
Tick Tock: A Tale for Two (2019)
Though it doesn’t quite disguise the lack of variety in puzzles and locales, Tick Tock: A Tale for Two offers a fairly novel collaborative two-player approach to problem solving.
Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story (2017)
Another Lost Phone doesn’t look like much and its linearity ensures a short play time, but it has enough gameplay and story depth with important themes to be a pleasant experience while it lasts.
Alone With You (2016)
Although light on actual gameplay, Alone With You is an interesting and worthwhile third-person exploration game overall. Those with an interest in science should absolutely play this; those looking for the publicized romance visual novel will be disappointed.
LAYTON’S MYSTERY JOURNEY: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy (2017)
Offering the same abundance of barely-integrated gameplay as its predecessors but with new protagonists and smaller cases, the gorgeous LAYTON’S MYSTERY JOURNEY is ideal for puzzle fans on the go, though at times it sacrifices quality for quantity.
Lydia (2017)
The relentlessly depressing Lydia bravely tackles its dark subject matter, but ultimately doesn’t have enough substance to keep players engaged beyond its surreal black-and-white presentation.
Stories Untold (2017)
Stories Untold is better than the sum of its parts, even if this collection of horror-themed interactive fiction vignettes never quite capitalizes on the potential of its concept.
The Turing Test (2016)
The Turing Test gets a high passing grade for its many engaging puzzles, but marks deducted for a storyline that never fully connects.
The A.B.C. Murders (2016)
The A.B.C. Murders will hardly tax the little grey cells, but a pleasing visual style and charismatic lead protagonist make this Agatha Christie adaptation more than merely child’s play. Just keep the sound volume low.
Kholat (2015)
Particularly for a first-time developer, Kholat is a well-done attempt at a horror game, though one that is nonetheless marred by a couple of shortcomings. In terms of atmosphere, it absolutely nails the chilling setting it goes for, but provides little gameplay and only a lackluster story to accompany it.
Among the Sleep (2014)
An original and promising concept left unfulfilled by disappointing gameplay, Among the Sleep is recommended only to those who want to experience a unique take on the horror genre.
The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief - Chapter Two: Ancestry of Lies (2013)
The story of The Raven continues to entertain, but the second chapter fails to reach the heights of the first, with a much shorter run time and a detour from what made the opening chapter so good.
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.
Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 4 – The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood (2009)
The fourth chapter is an episode you’re sure to have an opinion about—and equally sure to spend some time stumped in—but it’s ultimately no more than a good, not great, adventure game with a bang-up cliffhanger.
Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? (2022)
The acting is good and the central mystery is intriguing enough to want to see it through, but Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? isn’t able to rise above its repetitive nature and lack of any real gameplay to maintain interest all the way to the final unveiling.
Liberated (2020)
Its over-reliance on tedious shooting creates an uneven balance of storytelling and gameplay, stymying Liberated’s otherwise thoughtful interpretation of the interactive comic.
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.
The Magnificent Trufflepigs (2021)
The Magnificent Trufflepigs offers a gorgeous stroll through the English countryside which sadly gets muddied by some weak story choices and repetitive gameplay.
