Genre: Point-and-click

The genre-defining browser classic comes to Steam, bringing all its apocalyptic Grandma madness along with it. If you didn’t dedicate a browser tab to this for thousands of hours, you didn’t live.

Could probably afford to be a little shorter: not as many options as I would’ve liked, yet it takes a while to get through. Great VO and cool story - not exactly the game I expected, but still good.

FMV investigation game in which one can become completely absorbed. A unique and compelling experience helped along by good writing and acting. Definitely worth a playthrough.

Charming little PI/detective noir visual novel point-n-click with a well executed, minimal aesthetic. Stellar soundtrack. Ultimately pretty straight forward, but not necessarily a bad thing.

Peter Molyneux’ god complex materialises into a disappointment and eventual abandonware. Had promise, but sadly not much delivery.

An absolute classic and one of the best point-n-click adventure games of all time. A great remaster of Tim Schafer at his peak.

This game has its flaws; some of the quests are cheap & some of it feels drawn out or heavy-handed. Overall though, it’s a good time. A lot of care went into this, and it shows in charming art and VA.

Short, slow and memorable; Gone Home is somewhat overhyped, but important and well designed regardless. Best to go in absolutely blind.

A masterclass in narrative point and click adventure/exploration. KRZ is dripping in mood and aesthetic, but doesn’t sacrifice its core design which is truly captivating and thought provoking.

Really stupid. Really funny. Probably more appropriate as just a mobile game these days though.
