Code 7 is an episodic space/horror adventure that is unlike anything I’ve played before. It is a text adventure with a twist

This science fiction noir-style game allows you to switch between two characters as you solve the mystery.

If you don’t mind taking notes and being intentional while exploring, The Initiate provides a great set of puzzles that will keep you engaged from start to finish

It is the year 2352… You are alone in outer space with a mystery to solve

Described by developer Hollow Tree Games as a "blissful, exploratory way to get pleasantly lost"

Expand your personal horizons with this socially relevant adventure

Go on a journey of discovery as you free spirits trapped in the "in-between"

Noomi and Turn are clever and flippant but neither is a person I could empathize with. Expect to spend 5 to 6 hours taking the Low Road and much of that will be spent listening and watching.

Travel to strange worlds, solve puzzles and explore alien technology

I really think the guys at Absurdus have a lot of talent and potential to put together some great titles in the future. There are some really fantastic moments in Carte Blanche, unfortunately they are lost in limited gameplay and mediocre presentation (voice acting)

The Truth is out there in Phoenix Springs. Your job is find it!

Let your light shine in this surreal, exploratory adventure (batteries ARE included)

Find your inner hacker and save humanity!

Help! Laura has lost her phone and needs YOU

Given my experience with the first six scenarios, I am not convinced that there are enough hours left in my lifetime to play this game to completion

If a “campy, twisted, dark comedy, sci-fi adventure” sounds good to you, then you may want to plan a virtual vacation to Lost Lake

Aporia is a worthy addition to the genre that true adventurers should not miss

The Arrival is a licensed title based on a movie of the same name. In the movie, the aliens are trying to “terraform” the earth to make it inhabitable for them and uninhabitable for us. They fail. The game takes place ten years later and they are at it again.

If you have an hour to spare, it is worth the time to play through this “old school” game that reminds us of what adventuring used to be like

This expanded version includes a compelling alternate ending, an eerier soundtrack, upgraded graphics and a new chapter in which Blackwood Manor serves up even more horror

Late Shift feels like a move with click points and I am not sure that calling it a “game” is accurate.

The latest offering from Storycentric Worlds/Unimatrix Productions combines the mechanics of adventure games and visual novels

If you love horror as much as I do, I suggest you play this genuinely scary demo without delay. When The Land of Pain is released, you can bet I'll be there.

Overall, I’m glad I played and would recommend Little Nightmares (including The Depths) for teachable old dogs and those who have good hand-eye coordination and don’t buckle under pressure

Ultimately, despite the fact that the fierce, fighting fairies of Zanzarah only superficially resemble the gossamer creatures of my childhood memory, I had to agree with the press release when it described the game as “enthralling” - but - and it's a BIG BUT! I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who is a purist adventure gamer.

The writers obviously put a lot of effort into the story aspect but it does not come together in a way that makes you want to know more or empathize with the characters. Finally, the game ends with a fizzle.

Ceville is played in 3rd person point and click style which is really the only way to truly appreciate it
