Foolish Mortals review

Foolish Mortals is an absolute triumph. The love and respect for what makes an adventure game great is on full display in every expertly crafted scene, puzzle, piece of dialogue and quality-of-life user option throughout. If you consider yourself a fan of the genre, this is one ghostly journey that cannot be missed. ... Read more

Bye Sweet Carole review

The methodical gameplay and occasional difficulty spikes of Bye Sweet Carole won’t be for everyone, but for those who crave an old-school stalker horror with a remarkably poignant story tying everything together, there is nothing else out there quite like this incredibly gorgeous, genre-defying gem. ...

Mutants Ate My Carrots review

Mutants Ate My Carrots suffers from an unfortunate lack of polish, but the fun factor of running around a raunchy cartoon fantasy world as a butt-kicking angry rabbit makes up for its (easily fixable) shortcomings. ... Read more

Poco review

One of the best free games you’re ever likely to play, Poco is a short but beautiful adventure that will pull you in with its undeniable charm while keeping you guessing with its surprisingly deep mysteries... Read more

The Drifter review

Belying its leisurely point-and-click gameplay, The Drifter is an incredible action-packed thrill ride with a riveting storyline that unfolds hard and fast. ... Read more

Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo review

Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo is a gently paced, vividly colorful paper adventure filled with memorable afterlife inhabitants and a simple but fun time-looping premise. It’s a shame, then, that the character arcs often fail to reach the same satisfying conclusion for the player as they do for these wayward souls themselves. ... Read more

The Midnight Walk review

The Midnight Walk is a stunning achievement in visual, audio, and narrative design. It may not present much challenge in overcoming its trials and tribulations, but the touching journey of The Burnt One and Potboy through a dark, disturbing hand-sculpted world of clay will surely light a spark that warms your soul...

Promise Mascot Agency review

It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for those looking something unlike anything else out there, Promise Mascot Agency offers a bizarre flavor of storytelling that feels inventive and fresh. It doesn’t have the staying power to keep its repetitive gameplay interesting throughout, but the richness of the world and unapologetic insanity more than make up for its excesses... Read more

Old Skies review

Old Skies takes the well-worn concept of time travel and shoots it back through history to make it fresh again. It’s a beautiful, wonderfully written and acted tale both epic and personal, with enough time-bending conundrums to keep even the most jaded adventure gamer guessing. ... Read more

Elroy and the Aliens review

Don’t let its delightfully cartoonish appearance fool you: Elroy and the Aliens is a wonderfully heartfelt point-and-click journey across time and space, about family connections and the lengths we’ll go to reunite with our loved ones. ... Read more

Cabernet review

Cabernet is a captivating character-driven narrative RPG that sinks in its fangs and doesn’t let go. The best story veins are reserved for the individuals you meet rather than the world at large, but with characters as well-written as these, you’ll want to drink in every last drop... Read more

of the Devil: Episode 1

of the Devil: Episode 1 is an impressive expansion of the dark cyberpunk mystery first envisioned in its free debut installment. It’s sometimes held back by the devil in the details, but these are mostly minor annoyances when compared to the incredible characters and world that will draw you into its high-tech dystopia... Read more

Great God Grove review

Take our word for it: Great God Grove takes a fresh dialogue-based puzzle concept and places it in an imaginative world filled with unforgettable characters. It may not be particularly challenging, but the strong writing and gorgeous presentation make this a heavenly game of Telephone well worth picking up... Read more

10 Dead Doves review

10 Dead Doves is a fascinating horror adventure with janky PSX-era controls that takes too long to start unfolding, but once you begin diving down the rabbit hole you’ll find a wonderfully weird journey that gets more and more compelling the longer you play. ... Read more
