  • Summary: And then you wake up. In a dark room. It's cold and damp. It could be a basement. Maybe it's a cellar? It doesn't matter. Maybe you slept there last night, but you don't remember. Your head is cloudy. And swollen, because there's something inside it.

    And then you wake up. In a dark room. It's cold and damp. It could be a basement. Maybe it's a cellar? It doesn't matter. Maybe you slept there last night, but you don't remember. Your head is cloudy. And swollen, because there's something inside it.

    You open the zip in the nape of your neck and you take out a notebook. It says "CLeM" on the cover. You open it and see that some of the pages have entries on them. They look like notes on insects and other kinds of bugs. There are drawings and symbols that seem vaguely familiar too, but you can't figure out why. You study them. And then you hear it again.

    Delve into this puzzlevania mystery adventure with a twisted story to unravel and countless challenges to overcome. Explore an apparently abandoned house accompanied only by an obscure voice and a notebook full of notes and drawings on alchemy, insects and other creepy-crawlies.

    CLeM is a brilliant little puzzle game, filled with a constantly eerie vibe that pairs well with its cute, innocent art style. This cartoon world hides a deeper darkness, and to find it, you’ll have to solve clever puzzles and learn all you can about the fate of the family that came before.

    It's a short story, which would be tiresome if it were longer, but which is a virtue when it's not. Despite the soundtrack and that dreadful puzzle that is so hard to solve due to its lack of logic, everything else is practically impeccable. The title has made me feel like a child, not so much because of the nostalgia of past memories, but because I was entrusted to solve a problem and ignorance played a dirty trick on me.

    If you're not in the mood for action, strategy, survival, or sports, and you want to leisurely uncover mysteries and challenge your brain in an old-school adventure, which lets you shortly get that satisfaction of completing another game, CLeM will fulfill that to the letter.

    A really great game with an amazing, emotional story and beautiful artwork that loses a lot from its short playtime.

    Despite the occasional patience-testing puzzle, CLeM’s inventive gameplay and exploratory style make this quirky hand-drawn “Psychotic Adventure” worth a peek.

    Clem is an engaging adventure game with some genius puzzles and a whole lot of charm, but the movement will be a little too slow for some.
