    Intrigue At Oakhaven
    In telling its tragic story against a striking (and swampy) Louisiana backdrop, Intrigue at Oakhaven delivers the short atmospheric experience it promises, but structurally the adventure feels less like playing a well-rounded game than it does listening to a two-chapter novel with a brief intermission to bang out some familiar puzzles.

    On Your Tail
    A dreamy Italian getaway packed with charm, mystery, and minigames, On Your Tail is the cozy escape you didn’t know you needed.

    Casebook 1899 - The Leipzig Murders
    While not flashy or revolutionary, with the occasional questionable narrative choice, Casebook 1899: The Leipzig Murders offers exactly what it says on the tin: a solidly entertaining collection of murder mysteries designed specifically with lovers of good ol’ classic point-and-clicking in mind.

    Sips and Sonnets
    Sips and Sonnets is an engaging, melancholy visual novel about an elderly woman with an impressive past career, operating a tea shop in her dotage and providing useful advice to her customers.

    Splittown
    Splittown’s retro spy adventure charms you with its pixel art presentation, humor and puzzles, though uncovering all of its optional content and background information requires quite the deep infiltration.

    Dispatch
    More of a cinematic, highly polished visual novel than a full-fledged adventure game or even a strategic superhero simulator, Dispatch makes being the proverbial “guy in the chair” a delightful experience well worth hopping into.

    No, I'm not a Human
    No, I’m not a Human is a masterclass in suspense that revels in the paranoia it creates. Some of the magic is lost when trying to unearth specific outcomes for this tale of cosmic horror, but for a single playthrough it’s a deeply disturbing experience where everyday traits of average people are twisted into a mine field.

    Syberia - Remastered
    An upgrade in some ways and a step back in others, the remastered Syberia doesn’t quite measure up to the classic work of art that was the original, but its melancholic trip through an entropic Europe filled with automatons is still splendid enough to delight new players to the franchise.

    Murder Is Game Over: The Blackinton Curse
    Simple but short, stylish, and surprisingly comfy, The Blackinton Curse turns a traditional whodunnit into a bite-sized mystery adventure with the feel of a visual novel and a hint of old-school JRPG flair.

    True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3
    Within its subset of casual adventures, True Fear: Forsaken Souls stands out due to its stalwart dedication to delivering peak camp-horror charm. Its story gets a bit wobbly, but after a long delay, the final part of the trilogy largely succeeds in giving some closure at last.

    The Adventures Of Zomboy
    Though pretty and painless, The Adventures of Zomboy is so brief and bare-bones that it can neither be called a reimagining of the free Flash original nor a sendup of the zombie genre, despite its potentially interesting premise.

    Centum
    Centum is full of memorably horrific imagery and atmosphere, but enjoying them means putting up with uneven writing, poor design choices, and a truckload of obscurity for obscurity’s sake.

    Simon the Sorcerer Origins
    Beautiful, unexpectedly emotional, but frequently frustrating, Simon the Sorcerer is back in an intriguing if uneven series prequel reboot.

    Foolish Mortals
    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.

    Bye Sweet Carole
    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.

    Necrophosis
    Necrophosis creates startling scenes of cosmic horror and meshes existentialism with religion, yet repetitive item hunting and a lack of sustainable tension dilute the potentially potent core of the experience.

    Hello Stranger
    Hello Stranger has solid FMV production values and fun performances, but it feels like a short and forgettable Creepshow episode with a thin story that just doesn’t merit the tedium of more than a single replay.

    Ghost on the Shore
    Ghost on the Shore guides you on a beautiful island hike with a spectral companion while hunting for long-forgotten family secrets that continue to live on.

    Neyyah
    With a supremely old-school gameplay format, Neyyah evokes the best aspects of Myst and Riven in a way we rarely see anymore. While it’s somewhat bound by its faithfulness to what's come before, the heart and soul behind this game shines a bright, cyan-tinged glow.

    The Biggleboss Incident
    The Biggleboss Incident swerves past snark and satire and charges headlong into farce, tackling everything from office supply shortages to Big Brother. Light on plot and puzzles, it's a breath of fresh air in these cynical times.

    Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina)
    More of a narrative-driven game than a traditional adventure, Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina) offers a uniquely immersive, emotional and compelling experience, exploring a culturally intriguing historical time and place.

    Keeper
    Bold, beautiful, brilliant. Lee Petty and Double Fine have done it again. It’s a keeper, all right.

    Mutants Ate My Carrots
    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.

    to a T
    A wonderfully surreal and heartfelt narrative adventure, to a T delightfully reinforces the important message that regardless of our perceived personal limitations, we are all “the perfect shape.”

    Dead Take
    Combining a slick presentation, unsettling vibes, and an impressive list of talented actors, Dead Take is a solid FMV thriller with a unique Hollywood spin that would benefit most from an alternate ending.

    Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile
    The expanded world of Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile might feel a bit TOO big at times, but the new playable character does add to the story and nothing gives a greater sense of accomplishment than solving a mystery as Hercule Poirot.

    Herald: The Interactive Period Drama - Complete Edition
    Herald is light on gameplay but tells a complex, well-written adventure story that takes players on a journey both literal and emotional, through themes which, though based on historical events, are still incredibly resonant today.

    Petit Island
    While charming in delivering a somewhat heartwarming story, Petit Island is ultimately rather dull in its delivery, with boring implementations of activities like fishing and bug catching. In essence, it’s an uninspired effort in a familiar game style that others have done in much more interesting ways.

    Arctic Awakening
    Fans of Firewatch are likely to enjoy this similarly designed walking simulator set in the northern wilderness, though Arctic Awakening’s story fails to bring enough tension or wonderment to match its acclaimed predecessor.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 74 Critic Score
    Gloomy Eyes
    Gloomy Eyes is a dark but lovely fairy tale, revived from its previous VR-exclusive short film form and given new life with a welcome if fairly shallow layer of gameplay.
