The Mystery of Haunted Hollow (2014)
A solid but unremarkable casual experience, The Mystery of Haunted Hollow surrounds its creepy tale with a nice variety of easy puzzling and places to explore.
The Mystery of Haunted Hollow 2 (2016)
If you’re up for a puzzle-filled casual adventure through creepy environs, The Mystery of Haunted Hollow 2 should fill the void, though its story and challenge feel entirely insubstantial.
Old Man’s Journey (2017)
Old Man’s Journey isn’t so much a game as it is an interpretive tale one can experience, though it does at least hold some emotional value. It’s a bit repetitive, but too short to really become a bother, and may appeal to players looking for a somber tale to while an afternoon away with.
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.
Paul Pixel: The Awakening (2016)
If you enjoy retro sounds and graphics, Paul Pixel may be worth the amusement it provides in its very brief play time, but you’ll need to accept a lack of any depth in both story and gameplay.
Root Letter (2016)
Proving too slow-paced and repetitive for its own good, Root Letter fails to seal the deal on its promising set-up, though it may yet pave the way for improved Kadokawa mysteries to come.
The Descendant (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
The Descendant: Episode 1 - Aftermath (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
The Descendant: Episode 2 - Into the Storm (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
The Descendant: Episode 3 - What Lies Beneath (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
The Descendant: Episode 4 - Cerberus (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
The Descendant: Episode 5 - Ultimatum (2016)
Despite the polished presentation, The Descendant is by-the-numbers sci-fi that rarely ventures out of its modest comfort zone. It won’t win an Emmy, but it does manage to entertain throughout its five brief episodes.
Zero Time Dilemma (2016)
Although several welcome elements return, some undesirable changes to the established formula and exasperating design choices make Zero Time Dilemma a lackluster send-off to a cult-favorite series.
The Guest (2016)
Puzzle fans will find The Guest a solid room-escape adventure, while story and exploration fans will have plenty of reservations.
The Bunker (2016)
The story is interesting and production values are high from a visual standpoint, but an almost total lack of anything resembling gameplay, coupled with moments of melodrama means The Bunker is as polarizing an FMV experience as its 1990s kin. It’s not bad, but this isn’t going to sell you on the concept, either.
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.
Royal Trouble: Honeymoon Havoc (2015)
If you’ve got a few hours to spare, the colorfully casual Royal Trouble sequel is a breezy way to spend them, though there’s no escaping some disappointment at its slight puzzling and story.
Soul Axiom (2016)
The highly erratic Soul Axiom is a love-hate kind of game – you’ll love it until you hate it, and vice versa. If only it knew when enough was enough.
Lost Horizon 2 (2015)
Despite embarking with a sound plan for another beautiful globe-trotting adventure, Lost Horizon 2 suffers from weary execution and assorted technical limitations, eventually losing the way to greatness and ending up in the land of the average.
Red Comrades Save the Galaxy – Reloaded (2016)
Although it might be worth checking out Red Comrades Save the Galaxy for the sake of novelty alone, don’t expect too much from either the plot or the puzzles. You’ll just end up confused anyway.
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.
