Once in a while I check the popularity of the games I have reviewed on my blog The Point 'n Clicker. Here are a couple of games I feel deserve a bit more attention.

"Swan Song" is a very different game than what I usually play. It's not adventurey; it does have a narrative but it's more a pure puzzler. @goose_business is a Belgian developer, though, so I'd like to help spread the word!

Plenty of tension and fear in preparing for your own survival before time runs out, but the very short "Cult Vacui" by @LBRTY_games will pose little challenge to experienced adventurers.
My review pulls the hood off this time-management survival game!

Classic time! Get ready for my playthrough of "Spellcasting 201: The Sorcerer's Appliance", a Steve Meretzky game published by Legend Entertainment in 1991, with a hybrid mix of a text parser and point 'n click interface. Not for the prude of heart...

Time to dine! "Uncle Lee's Cookbook: Five Recipes For Disaster" by Relatively Painless Games is the commercially released collection of all Uncle Lee games, revised and fully voiced, and published by @DionousGames.

"School Quest" captures that typical 80s adventure game vibe, death scenes and all, exchanging the text parser for a point 'n click interface. You can read about my four hour playthrough on my blog The Point 'n Clicker!

My wife and I finished the last two chapters of "As Dusk Falls". We had a blast playing this! It's something different than watching a movie or TV show together, and my wife really likes being able to steer the story a bit š

"As Dusk Falls" is an interactive thriller/drama about a burglary gone wrong and two families colliding, making choices in dialogue replies but also bigger decisions when there's a fork in the road.
And I played it together with my wife!

I hadn't expected @granulac's "Perfect Tides: Station to Station" to be such a long game, but that's only natural with such a layered story about young people in college or university struggling with their identity and relationships.

Wow, where did this game come from?!
There are still loads of good games on the horizon, but here I am wishing it was already next year!
I'm so excited to finally announce my first game: THE PACTMAKER!
A supernatural point-and-click thriller about pacts, guilt, consequences... and many, many books. š
Coming to Steam & itch for PC next year.
Watch the first trailer š and Wishlist now:

With only a little interference to enjoyment, "Radiolight" is @krystofkneslās one-man production offering a supernatural 1980s mystery well worth exploring in a gorgeously detailed yet solidly creepy woodland setting.

No frustrating time-loop antics in the wonderfully designed "The Posthumous Investigation" by @mgaiastudio, just a deep but fast-paced unraveling of who might have killed Rio de Janeiroās most influential resident.

I've been looking forward to "Whirlight - No Time To Trip" for a while now!
May is one busy adventure game month this year!
We finally have a date!
Whirlight No Time To Trip will be out on May 14!!!
This started as a small project in our studio and slowly grew into a full adventure with Hector, Margaret, and you all.
Thanks for sticking with us along the way! ā¤ļø

I wasn't expecting "Perfect Tides: Station to Station" by Three Bees developer @meredithgran.com to have an old fashioned Sierra style "death" scene... This game is trickier than its predecessor...

Earlier this year I played "Perfect Tides" by Three Bees developer @granulac, because its sequel was about to be released. A bit later than expected, I'm finally able to play through "Perfect Tides: Station to Station"!

"Thiefās Shelter" pulls you into a beautifully eerie mansion to investigate a strange, supernatural mystery full of fun puzzles, yet its limited freedom of exploration to solve the case yourself can be a bit frustrating.
