| 1 1/2 Ritter: Auf der Suche nach der hinreißenden Herzelinde [G] | Daedalic Entertainment / Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
This is a point & click adventure based on the identically named German movie. The player takes the role of the knight Lanze who is the bodyguard of the beautiful princess Herzelinde. She is supposed to marry the evil count Trumpf, but one night she gets kidnapped by the Black Knight while Lanze is drunk. Now he has to brake out of jail to save her. This game is a traditional and humorous adventure game with item based puzzles. To solve them, the player needs to combine items which can be found in the surroundings or are gained by solving other puzzles. Another important part are numerous conversations which are held with multiple choice dialogues. The game also features a help function which marks every item the player can interact with. These interactions are similar to The Curse of Monkey Island: the player needs to hold the left mouse button to bring up a coin. This coin shows three symbols (eye, hand and mouth) which trigger the associated action, e.g. the hands typically stands for taking an item. During the course of the game, there are a few mini games like a Happy Families variation or chicken roulette to solve. | ||

| Agon Episode 4: Lost Sword Of Toledo | Private Moon Studios / Lexicon Entertainment / Kalypso | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This fourth episode in the series from a Hungarian developer has much greater content and has abandoned the downloadable episode format and rather is a purchasable dvd game. More time was spent on this episode to make a more superior product. Professor Samuel Hunt arrives in the picturesque Spanish city where time seems to go by slower. Narrow streets, squares with an atmosphere of the Middle Ages, silence and calm. Or not: a young man formerly known for his honesty has recently been caught stealing treasures, and now some families have renewed wounds of past grievances. Family revenge? Black magic? Lost bet? Dishonest intrigue? It is difficult to find out, since some of the characters have taken their secrets with them to the grave. However, the Professor is compelled to take part in the untangling of the entangled threads if he is to reach his goal, as an offspring of the family indicated on the granite plate has been arrested on the well-grounded suspicion of having stolen the treasures. The origin of the Toledo swords comes from the most ancient Spanish customs. More than 2,000 years ago, in the 5th century B.C. , Iberian blacksmiths already forged Toledo swords known as falcata which had an iron blade inside and a special design made to increase the sharpness of the slash. A mysterious music box, an iron door in the church that has not been opened for a hundred years, an unfinished painting, some strange letters and of course the fourth manuscript from the John Gillam Codex are found. But will the Lost Sword of Toledo be found? | ||

This is a short adventure game with simple puzzles for the casual market. The main protagonist is an American archaeology student called Alabama Smith, that is sent by his University to do some research on Italy. He soon discovers a time traveling device and a conspiracy involving a secret society. Most of the screen shows the location where the character is investigating, with the bottom interface mostly dedicated to the inventory, with small sections for a portrait and the time travel medallion to the left, and a list of objectives to the right. Objects are collected on the screen and stored in the inventory, from where they can be dragged and used to solve puzzles. Some of the screen hotspots bring up an interactive window, that might contain required objects or require some action to be performed. It can show another point of view of the scenery, or start one of the mini-games, usually variations of jigsaw puzzles and concentration. On casual mode, the mini-games can be skipped after one minute. Multiple windows can be opened at the same time allowing, for example, to have a paper with a numeric sequence next to its input device. The game keeps score at the top, where a meter shows the scenario progress. Too many wrong clicks take points off. On the expert mode, objects have to be combined and assembled manually. The hint button highlights the location of one of the required objects, taking about a minute to recharge after use. Later in the game, the player must travel back and forth in time to solve the puzzles, collecting information and tools from one time version of the room to use on another. | ||

| American McGee's Grimm | Spicy Horse / GameTap | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a retelling of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales with the same dark overtones as his premiere PC game American McGee's Alice. It immerses the player in a world built around some of the best known tales from the Brothers Grimm, including Rapunzel, Rumplestiltskin, Little Red Riding Hood, and Snow White. Most interestingly, Turner's 'all-you-can-eat' game subscription service GameTap will be publishing the title over 23 episodes, much in the same way - but to a far greater extent - as it did the 6 episode Sam & Max series. In keeping with the literary theme of the source material, all aspects of the game - including the weapons system - derive from the building blocks of fairy tales and the books containing them. The Words as Weapons concept is elegantly simple - the main character can pluck action verbs like "BURN" from the game environment, carry them around, and hurl them at enemies and obstacles. Word weapon effects are full of variety yet are visually self-evident, an aspect makes the concept ideal for episodic games. Each of the 24 episodes is being designed so an average player can complete it in thirty minutes. The first episode is free to everyone. Each episode released after, will be free to play for only 24 hours from release date. Season 1 consists of eight standalone episodes which will be released weekly as follows: Jul 31 - A Boy Learns What Fear Is, Aug 7 - Little Red Riding Hood, Aug 14 - The Fisherman and His Wife, Aug 21 - Puss In Boots, Aug 28 - The Girl Without Hands, Sep 4 - Godfather Death, Sep 11 - The Devil and His Three Golden Hairs, Sep 18 - Beauty and the Beast. Season 2 consists of: Oct 30 - The Master Thief, Nov 6 - The Singing Bone, Nov 13 - King Midas, Nov 20 - Cinderella, Nov 27 - The Golden Goose, Dec 4 - Iron John, Dec 11 - The Pied Piper, Dec 18 - A Christmas Carol. Season 3 consists of: Feb 12 - The Frog King, Feb 19 - Jack and the Beanstalk, Feb 26 - Mulan, Mar 5 - Pinocchio, Mar 12 - Sleeping Beauty, Mar 19 - The Adventures of Thumbling, Mar 26 - Snow White. | ||

In some locations, it is necessary to find all the objects from a list before resuming the game. A task list tab at the bottom shows all the pending tasks. Objects that bring up puzzles screens have a golden puzzle piece icon over them. The puzzles range from implementations of classic games like concentration, jigsaw puzzles and Pipe Dream, to more original ones.

|---|---|---|---|

This game was initially supposed to come out in 1998 but wasn't completed until one of the developers finished and released it on Old-Games.ru. It's a unique author's project on the motives of the Slav of the Holy City Of Arkona, which stands on Ruyan island, where there was a mysterious stolen powerful artifact. After its loss, unkind events began to occur on the surrounding earth. You play the usual youth whose name is kaleda, who wants to explain the reason for the proceeding. However, gods will not make it simple to interfere in their matters. This Russian adventure game is very standard, however, it's gladdened by the consistency and abundance of the diverse puzzles, which will require from the player not only attentiveness and keenness, but also specific knowledge about the culture of ancient Russia. By the way, one of the special features of game is the fact that absolutely all interactive area texts are written in the old slavic language: to read them is complex, but this approach wonderfully works on the maintenance of the necessary atmosphere. Arkona is also impregnated with classical Slav mythology and mysticism: legends, fables, fairy tales and legends here are tightly intertwined with the subject and find real reflection in the game, appearing in the form individual characters, objects or means. One cannot fail to mention the technical performance: all locations are created with visible effort and love. But most important, that they wonderfully recreate nature and the way of life of those times. Music is also selected very successfully. | ||

This is the sequel to Azada (2007). Like its predecessor, it is a point-and click adventure with simple puzzles. The game takes place in a small library, where the objective is to fix the plot of several magic books ruined by an evil spell. Each book acts as a self-contained mini-adventure, and the locations are illustrated pages that can be flipped back and forth. Dracula, Rapunzel, King Arthur, Henry Jekyll, Buffalo Bill and Robinson Crusoe are among the characters players meet in the literary journey. Objects collected are stored in the inventory at the bottom of the screen that can be accessed by clicking on the bag icon. Each book has 2 hints, and the hint button also indicates when a page has no further puzzles or objects. Most of the time the player has to use the inventory items to solve the books, but some pages have logic puzzles that usually block access to a necessary item or part of the screen. They are unique to each book, and range from the common jigsaw puzzle to JezzBall-like mini-games. Players that get stuck on a book can leave it to be solved later, by going back to the library and selecting another one. Each book ends with the main character escaping through the use of a magic portrait. After being solved, the magic energy of the book fills a meter at the right side of the bookshelf. Every time this meter reaches its maximum capacity, the player receives an orb that allows any of the mini-games to be skipped. A total of four orbs can be stored on slots next to the hint button. After solving part of the book collection, the portraits collected from them have to be examined in a machine that reveals the magical symbols hidden on them. The player has access to a new set of books after solving a logic puzzle involving these symbols. | ||

This is a free browser-playable mystery adventure series commissioned to promote the five-part City of Vice television programs. Set in London's Covent Garden in the 1750s, crime in the city has risen to such a level that local magistrates were forced to take action. The Bow Street Runners were born, created to instill order in the increasingly crime-ridden city. It's a dark and historically accurate journey through old London, presented with live actors, voice narration and full motion video for an impressive cinematic experience. You play the role of a Runner investigating crime in a series of scenes throughout the town. Using the mouse, examine each area for clues and evidence, some of which is stored in your casebook. You'll also interview witnesses and other townsfolk for information, introducing you to the colorful inhabitants of 18th century London. When you've gathered enough information the game allows you to move on to the next scene, creating a nice (if linear) sense of progression. In addition to cerebral clue gathering you'll also have to get your hands dirty from time to time. A clever diversion called Slide Thrift is, according to the tavern poster, "a most wondrous test of skill and mettle", and you'll also have the pleasure of digging through wet, rotten meat and vegetables in search of clues. | ||

After, the boy drags on cigarettes and plays a game of cards and he still has some money pockets full.

What's unique about Casebook is that it uses a special technology developed by a company called Areograph that is able to blend real film footage (including real actors and real locations) into the gameplay. The results are photorealistic 3D environments with characters that look like they're straight out of a movie or TV show. The game also features more than 30 minutes of cinematic cutscenes. You play the role of a rookie detective paired with Detective James Burton. Episode 0: The Missing Urn is a free shorter but complete episode. How far could one man's ashes go? When Detective Burton's Aunt Maggie is involved, who's to say? It's a mystery of curious proportions when her husband's ashes go walkabout. She's looked everywhere, except the basement ... and you'll see why. Scour the original crime scene for a priceless momento, study cinematic encounters, practice your forensic skills on a range of Casebook mini-games. In Episode 1: Kidnapped, you'll help Burton to solve a kidnapping case by scouring the crime scene to gather forensic evidence, and interviewing suspects. Gameplay involves using your camera to collect photos in realistic crime scenes, and analyzing clues in a dozen different mini-games including dusting for fingerprints and isolating chemical samples in the lab. Episode II - The Watcher (Feb/2009) - You've been called to the Skylark Apartments - a routine investigation of a young man's death. But things are never what they seem in this oddville. Search creepy apartments, hear what the locals have to say, and solve the case - Did he jump, or was he pushed? Welcome to the weird world of the Skylark Apartments. Episode III - Snake In The Grass (Nov/2009) - A small town is threatened by an old enemy, and only Detective Burton can save the day. But things aren't so simple ... Burton's off the case, and the suspect seems like a new man. Something's wrong in this little garden state, and saving a town may mean stepping outside the law. In 2010, a Casebook Trilogy: Special Edition came out with reworked versions of the three games in the series. The games have been enhanced with new mini-games, a new evidence linking system, a hint system and a ranking system in which you work your way up from a Lab Technician to Forensic Expert. Statistics show how much of the available evidence you have found, divided into two categories: Hard Evidence which is essential to the case and Other Evidence which is optional. The mini-games can be skipped, but doing so lowers the final score, as does using the hints system. | ||

| Cate West: The Vanishing Files | Gamenauts Inc, Menara Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
During a book signing, the novelist Cate West is approached by the detective Ben Shepard who carries a photograph. As he lets it fall, Cate picks it up and has a vision while holding it. The vision is somewhat connected to a crime committed in Arcadia city, and that's when the police seeks Cate to help them solve a series of crimes dubbed The Vanishing Files. What Cate doesn't know yet is that those crimes are connected to her father's murder, which happened 17 years ago, and also to the Biblical legend of the 3 Magi. It's an adventure game heavily focused on puzzle solving. The gameplay consists in five steps. From a list of objects, the player has to find a certain number of clues for each case in the crime scenes available. Find evidence broken into several pieces and scattered in a crime scene. A pictorial guide will help the player finding each part while avoiding wrong clicks. To confirm a criminal's hideout, the player has to find differences between a photograph and Cate's vision, clicking either the left or right picture to spot them. The player has to pick the criminal among the suspects by searching the evidence for more clues which will point characteristics of the criminal. Once in the trial, the player has to match the courtroom testimony with the memory of the crime scene. A collection of objects will be given to the player and he has to place them on either one of the images so they can match. The player can use hints clicking on a hint button. Bonus points are also given for speed, i.e., finding objects in a quick sequence. The game's ending is determined by the amount of points earned throughout the gameplay. Finishing the game in the lesser time, picking the criminals in the first attempt and avoiding random clicking and using hints will grant the player the best ending possible. | ||

Fox has bought its first ever online only TV show, and it's called The Cell. The Cell was launched across Fox's global network of websites in October and was comprised of 20 2-minute shows. The series tells the story of a man who finds himself locked in a lawless prison with a mobile phone and a mystery caller. The Cell is also a game that will appeal to all Room Escape fans. It comes with gorgeous graphics and animations. It won't take long before you leave your cell, but there is more after that. Our hero, Spence, must complete a series of increasingly bizarre and dangerous challenges as he ascends to the surface; your unknown captor has provided all that you need, but you'll need to use your wits and risk your hide to overcome his tests. In theme and atmosphere the game reminds quite a bit of the Saw series of movies. The Cell is quite good-looking and professionally rendered. The third-person visuals suggest the view from a security camera; perhaps, even while playing the hero, you are assuming the perspective of the villain. | ||

It just so happened that most of these Chukcha anecdotes are based on his incompetence in matters of modern life. Chukcha does not know many things familiar to us, such as a phone or subway. He is poorly versed in the foundations of modern society, but completely devoid of stereotypes and paradoxes generated by the "big city". In addition, with his childlike credulity, funny accent and absurd-effective solutions, he brings a smile regardless of the circumstances. The main character goes on a journey to a distant city - Moscow. On the way he encounters difficulties, misunderstanding and violence of the world, but you do not fool Chukcha the good simpleton, so touching is his naivete. Driven by a noble goal, he easily overcomes all obstacles and emerge victorious from any situation. A bright storyline, quality performance and totally unexpected ending is waiting for you in this game that supports the best traditions of the genre of adventure games. | ||

| Citizen Abel: Gravity Bone | Blendo Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This standalone game using the Quake II engine is a follow-up to the four Citizen Abel missions made for Quake II released between August 1999 and August 2001 by the same author. In this game the player is Citizen Abel, the most efficient and economical hit-man in the galaxy. He is contracted by an employer to perform and complete various missions. The game removes all references to the original Q2 engine with its brown colours by presenting a bright, lush environment with bloom, populated by blockheaded figures. The game contains two missions where the player needs to complete a contract, followed by an extensive ending. The game is played like a regular shooter, with the keyboard keys to move and the mouse to aim, although no weapons need to be fired. In the first mission Citizen Abel needs to become a waiter and deliverer a manitoba beast bug in a wine glass to a certain guest at a party. In the second mission five birds need to be photographed. Various tools are used, such as hammer, spray cans, a photo camera and more, along with some jumping puzzles. More of the story is told through flashbacks and at the end of a completed contract, a Portal-like overview of the mission is shown. As a secret agent of sorts, you'll infiltrate some unusual areas and uncover your obscure objectives on the fly. Your missions include such oddities as procuring a special cocktail to deliver to a specific party guest and locating strange birds that explode when photographed. Oddly enough, Gravity Bone has only two (yes two) levels. If that sounds excruciatingly sparse, it's because it is. However, the overall experience, combined with the bizarre ending, makes the brief adventure totally worthwhile. The game is a real visual treat. There’s no real character dialogue or story setup to note, yet the setting and activities going on around you speak volumes. Much like an after dinner mint, Gravity Bone is light on substance, but it holds just the right amount of flavor to put a smile on your face. | ||

Cooroora builds on the tradition established by Peter's first three adventure-puzzle games, Xiama, Magnetic and Magicama. The focus this time is on word games and puzzles so whereas Magicama was "beyond words", Cooroora is all about words. In fact its tag line is "A Way With Words". The game setting is the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland in Queensland, Australia. Twenty-four "events" have been set up in 24 locations scattered about the area. A player's first task is to locate the event and then to vie for a bronze, silver or gold medal. Once again the locations are conveyed by superb full 360 degree panoramas. Several of these have been used to decorate this web site. Many events are totally original. Others are variations on old favourites. Participation in each event is not compulsory - players can move through all 24 locations without ever entering one event if they so desire. The scoring system has been carefully designed so that perfect scores are not necessary for medal success - this is so that players are not penalised by the game having access to a bigger word list than they do. As usual, every effort has been made to offer maximum replayability. In fact some events offer almost unlimited variations. On Jan/2017, the developers games were made freeware. | ||

This is a Windows remake of a PC-98 horror adventure game. It was released episodically on the PC in Japan from March 2008 to July 2011. An enhanced port of this release called Corpse Party Blood Covered:...Repeated Fear was developed by Team GrisGris and 5pb., creators of Steins;Gate, for the Playstation Portable in 2010. The PSP port included some enhanced graphics, new voice work, and added a 5th chapter that ended the story. XSEED localized and published the PSP release as a PSN only title in North America in 2011 and renamed the game to simply Corpse Party. It's about a group of high school friends in Kisaragi Academy which was built on the grounds of Tenshin Elementary School, which was demolished after a string of disappearances and gruesome murders. After a mysterious earthquake, the students find themselves trapped in an alternate reality Tenshin Elementary School, where the murders of others trapped before them have continued unabated. The current Windows release is up to chapter 5. In April/2016, an English version was released. In addition to the four bonus chapters, one of which is a PC-exclusive retelling of the “Tooth” story from Corpse Party: Book of Shadows, recreated with added content. Over 5,000 lines of spoken Japanese dialogue from the original indie voice cast complement the action, giving new spins on familiar characters for series veterans. In addition, the original PC-exclusive character art is fully intact, and dedicated players seeking every ending are given a speedy fast-forward function to make replays a breeze. | ||

CSI: NY marks the sixth PC title to bear the CSI brand, but the first to feature the New York crew of investigators. Unlike previous instalments, CSI: NY will also be the first to let gamers play as the stars of the show, casting players in the roles of Detective Mac Taylor and Stella Bonaseram throughout the investigation of five original cases devised by the TV show writers. Another change from its CSI predecessors will be its "moody graphic novel art style", but the game also promises improved gameplay mechanics for computer use and blood work. One notable enhancement will be player control over interrogations, with the ability to use evidence to reveal lies, and a variety of "mini-games" will also be offered, including the likes of code breaking, facial reconstruction, triangulating shooter locations, physics simulation reconstructions, and Internet searches. | ||

How did Dracula become a vampire? He was a passionate, deeply religious man, but was broken by his wife's suicide; the soul of the woman he worshipped was damned! Crazy with grief and rage, he damned himself by choosing the Devil. He hid the profound suffering of the loss of his love and became an immortal monster, devoted to destruction. His inconsolable sorrow and his infinite hate carry him to search eternally for revenge; thus, he discovers that there exists somewhere an antediluvian manuscript with the details of a ritual , a ritual that would show how to awaken the infernal souls. At last, Dracula thinks he has found the way to bring back to life his love from beyond… for starters. You are Professor Van Helsing, and your life is devoted to the elimination of Dracula. You must prevent Dracula from finding and using the manuscript; you must help everyone who crossed paths with the count and refused to serve him; you must eliminate Count Dracula. The inquiry leads you from London to an Egyptian necropolis, from a Viennese palace to a cursed monastery, to finish in the famous lair of Dracula. This is a delightfully gothic adventure game. | ||

The game is comprised of 25 chapters (screens). Gameplay is similar to the previous game with only a few changes. Whereas in the first game the player would solve one scene and then move on to the next scene, in this game the player may need to move between different scenes in order to solve a puzzle in order to progress. Also, after finding all the Dream Jewel pieces to complete a Dream Jewel, a puzzle will start in which the player is given a question and a number of sentence fragments which must be placed in the right order so that it answers the question correctly. Solving these dream jewel puzzles reveals hints for completing the scenes. | ||

| Edna & Harvey: The Breakout | Daedalic Entertainment / Merscom | [top] | |

This point & click adventure game has an off-beat look. All backgrounds and characters are drawn and animated by hand in a distinct cartoon style. Edna wakes up in the padded cell of an insane asylum with no memory of her past or how she ended up there. Only one thing is for certain: She has been wrongfully imprisoned and will have to escape! After all, she feels entirely sane – and her speaking stuffed toy bunny Harvey wholeheartedly agrees. Together they undertake a daring breakout attempt, meeting up with numerous oddball inmates, like the Man in the Bee's Costume or Siamese twins Hoti and Moti. But Dr. Marcel, the sinister head of the institute, will do everything in his power to stop Edna. What evil scheme is afoot? Slowly Edna begins to regain her memories of the past. Backgrounds and characters are completely 2D and drawn by hand by a real person in the game's unique cartoon style. The game's characters range from odd to genuinely crazy – twisted humor guaranteed. Thanks to challenging puzzles, extensive dialogues and more than 120 screens, gamers can look forward to an extraordinarily long gameplay experience. In Feb/2011, an English version was finally released and also Sammler Edition was a collector's edition optimized to run faster with reduced loading times and less free hard disk space required plus two hours of developer commentary and an audio disc with the official soundtrack. In Dec/2019, an Anniversary Edition was released that was redrawn and received a complete overhaul: high resolution visuals, new technology, intuitive and improved controls. Switch at will between old and new visuals. | ||

This is the third game to feature Fenimore Fillmore, after "3 Skulls of the Toltecs" and "The Westerner" ("Wanted" in North America). Put on your long coats and cowboy hats, saddle your horses, and make sure you have enough ammunition. Our famous cowboy is back with the latest installment and Revistronic will be taking the Fenimore Fillmore series in a different direction. The fundamental change will be in the game's tone. Fenimore Fillmore's Revenge will still be an adventure game. However, the game will have a much more serious tone than the other titles in the series and is targeted towards a more mature audience. In his newest game, Fenimore will not be adventuring alone. Rhiannon Starek, one of the characters from the second game, will be joining our cowboy in this adventure. Together Rhiannon and Fenimore will face a gang of outlaws, trying to uncover the treasure hidden in a tomb. In Mar/2019, a Remastered version was released with enlarged graphics up to 4k. | ||

| Fog Fall 1-4, The | Mateusz Skutnik / Pastel Games | [top] | |

This is another escape the room series from the creators of favorites such as the Submachine series, Covert Front and Daymare Town. The Fog Fall (Apr/2008) You are an unnamed, unknown survivor of a nuclear holocaust, eking out a meager existence with your family in a bomb shelter-like house, struggling against the inevitable knowledge of your own impending mortality. A lonely life, really, sadly mundane. Until, one night, you wake up with a strange feeling in your belly, and look out to see the house surrounded by fog. This is a fantastically atmospheric game. With its references to the Cuban Missile Crisis and the 1950's gone awry, it meshes beautifully with Mateusz's style. It is a vision of an alternate outcome of a frightening, uncertain time. The Fog Fall 2 (Apr/2009) begins right where you left off, standing victorious on the grassy ground above. Apocalyptic war zones are never a place to hang around and celebrate, however, and so your quest continues with a broken-down truck, a few well-dressed soldiers, and some mutants hiding in the fields. A townsfolk or two provide a helping hand. The Fog Fall 3 (Aug/2010) - Your journey hits a rather baffling roadblock that leaves you stranded in the middle of nowhere. You might be able to finally reach your destination if you're willing to do some people a few favours... but who can you trust in the wasteland? Then again, do you really have a choice? Wwere the game absolutely excels its atmosphere. The world is a harsh, gloomy place, and the old buildings you explore feel ruined and desolate in a way that can make you tense even when there isn't any danger around. The Fog Fall 4 (July/2012) - Your relief at seeing another person is shortlived when a blow to the back of the head knocks you unconscious before helping themselves to your gear. Turns out post-apocalyptia is as unfriendly as ever, and if you want to find your equipment and continue your journey you'll have to uncover some secrets and appease the locals. New author Daniel Gizicki fleshes out the setting quite a bit more. | ||

Armed with only your trusty camera, you soon find yourself trapped inside... now who could have predicted that? Your camera is going to be a pretty valuable tool... while sadly you can't use it to photograph puzzle clues, taking pictures of certain things like paintings or the glowing white orbs will check things off your list of objectives. Just be careful... this place has more than a few skeletons in its closet. Well... bodies, really. Parts of them. Maybe you should have worn gloves. | ||

Yet it is only when Western interests in the region are threatened that we hear anything about the nations that struggle with paramilitary rule, extreme poverty and exploitation of the population. In a region where politicians and police are feared rather than respected, people try desperately to grab a piece of the land and call it their own. All too often, however, it ends badly.

| Graveyard, The | Tale of Tales BVBA | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a short game described by the authors as an explorable painting, an experiment in storytelling with real-time poetry without the use of words. It tries to evoke a feeling and tell an elaborate story with a small segment of gameplay. The player controls an elderly woman, shown from a third-person perspective. She visits a graveyard. The exploration is limited as she can only move towards a bench in front of a church. Struck by her age, she moves about slowly and needs a cane to keep her balance. She can sit down on the bench and then exit the graveyard again. Although the game elements seem limited - the camera restricts the player from entering any of the side paths - the woman's story is told through a song that starts playing when she sits down. The lyrics are in Dutch, but they are transcribed in English at the bottom of the screen. The full version of the game costs $5 and introduces a random time of death for the woman, not allowing the player to exit the graveyard and enhancing the drama. The game is entirely in black and white, but there are various lighting effects and birds flying around. | ||

This is an excellent series of escape the room type games. The Great Kitchen Escape (Jan/2008) You start off staring at an extremely colorful kitchen that looks like it was lifted straight from a cartoon. Click the arrows to move around the room and use the mouse to interact with objects and gather items. It's an easy point and click game that scores major points for its artwork and slightly wacky puzzles. It's a very short game and not very difficult, but the visuals, music and atmosphere are just so fun you won't be able to help yourself. The Great Living Room Escape (Apr/2008) - What do a hamster, an umbrella, and half a pair of glasses have in common? This is filled with brightly-colored art, zany items, and excellent point and click room escape gameplay. The animations are fluid and packed with charm. The only real drawback is its length: five to ten minutes, tops. The Great Bathroom Escape (Aug/2008), The Great Basement Escape (Oct/2008), The Great Bedroom Escape (Dec/2008), The Great Attic Escape (Apr/2009) are all similar colorful and fun cartoon escape the room games. The Great House Escape (Apr/2009) - Finally we find out why we have been trapped in so many different rooms. Apparently there have been ghosts at every turn, slamming doors and locking us in various areas of the house, and now it's up to you do deal with those ghosts, once and for all. It takes the locale from each of the six previous installments, plus hallways connecting them all, and turns them into one big final "great escape" game. | ||

Based on the beloved bestselling novels, the release of The Hardy Boys: The Hidden Theft marks a kind of popularity Frank and Joe have never seen before. The new Undercover Brothers series launched in 2005 has already sold more than 1 million copies, Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller are scheduled to star in a major motion picture based on the series next year, and now top celebrity teen talent Jesse McCartney and Cody Linley have stepped in to lend their voices and likenesses to the famous crime-solving duo for the game.

Hotel 626 wakes you up in the middle of the night and sends you tumbling down the dark rabbit hole of a haunted hotel. You’ll have to get past possessed toddlers, photophobic maids, and more than a couple of murderous madmen if you want to see the morning light. It’s point-and-click with a twist – all the scenes are live action. It plays like an interactive movie, but there are actual puzzles involved rather than choosing the path to the next reel. Live action really adds something extra creepy to the game. When trying to blind the maid with your camera, you really have to listen for her as she scurries around the dark room. Miss the shot and you’ll get a fleeting picture of what you actually shot in the camera. But like any good haunted house, the game is super cheesy. It’s a game sponsored by Doritos chips. Users with cameras connected will find that the game takes a quick picture of you without you knowing about it. Don’t be surprised to find your picture mixed in with the live action scenes. Enable the microphone and you’ll have to sing the little ghoul to sleep. You can also choose to go without and not lose much in the total experience. Even waiting for the sun to go down is just apart of the fun. It pushes you through quickly without ever holding you back. A missed puzzle is just another good scare waiting in the wings. Players can also jump around to each of the puzzles after you finish if you just want to try your hand at finding the solution. Just be aware that you can only play it from 6pm to 6am. In 2009, a follow-up called Asylum 626 was released. You awake to find yourself in some sort of operating room, strapped to a gurney with creepy doctors lurking over you. One picks up a handsaw and slowly starts towards you. Then the horror truly begins, as repressed memories start flooding back and the true nature of the asylum comes to light. At the start-up screen, you're asked to allow the game access to your Facebook and Twitter accounts. This is not mandatory and will not impede your ability to enjoy the game. However, if you do choose to provide your account information, some innovative features are activated and the experience takes on a more personal feel. As the game proceeds, more interactive features become available. You have the option to include your e-mail address, phone number, web camera and microphone in the mix. Again, though, the only mandatory entry is your date of birth due to graphic violence. | ||

I/O revision II is a Japanese science fiction visual novel produced by Regista. It is an updated version of I/O which was released on the PS2 in 2006. It features new content not featured in the original such as an expanded story and new art. The game set in 2032 A.D. in Megalopolis Tokyo. On April 26th, at 00:12 in the morning, a total lunar eclipse occurs for the first time in 3 years. Even though it's supposed to be a simple astronomical phenomenon, it soon sets off a series of unexpected events. Unexplainable mysteries, terrorist incidents, and network crime surge as if in unison. The truth mixes with lies, as if the world is awake but still sleeping. Something has begun. Somewhere no one can see. Something no one knows about. This is a story of the chance meeting and tragic parting of the young men and women living in this world. Players get to play the game from 4 different points of view as three different characters: Hinata, a youth who has lost his sister and himself; Ishtar, a freelance programmer and leader of a hacker team; and He, a man completely shrouded in mystery. And thus.. "The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning". An English translation came out in 2014. | ||

As if blasting into space at ridiculous speeds isn't adventure enough, now one of the most famous astronauts in the world is getting ready for an all-new adventure. No, it's not Neil Armstrong, Juri Gagarin, or even Albert the monkey. It's the fictional Perry Rhodan, coming to save mankind. Although lesser known outside of its native Germany, the Perry Rhodan series has endured for over four decades, with multiple authors contributing to more than two thousand novellas. The various storylines have covered many centuries and galaxies and even dimensions following the first lunar landing by U.S. Space Force Major Rhodan and his crew, during which they discovered an alien spacecraft. In the game version of Perry Rhodan, the year is 1346 in the New Galactic calendar (A.D. 4934). When the center of world power is overturned by a surprise attack and his girlfriend Mondra Diamond is kidnapped, Rhodan finds himself caught up in a complex web of deceit, and even his own friends are a hindrance in discovering the truth. But there are even larger mysteries to be solved, such as the relevance of the "Arkonidic secret service Tu-Ra-Cell" and the legacy of a race of "angel-like beings, that at one time traveled to the breadths of the universe in order to save it from its destruction." As he begins to probe deeper, Rhodan soon discovers a much greater danger, and only he can stand up to another overpowering opponent. It's a traditional 2.5D adventure, enhanced visually by such features as real-time lighting and shading and atmospheric weather effects. More importantly, the story has been written under the direction of the series' main current author, Robert Feldhoff, with assistance from Austrian Perry Rhodan author Michael Marcus Thurner. The inclusion of both writers reflects the commitment by the development team to creating an authentic Perry Rhodan experience for fans of the series, though it's just as welcoming for newcomers with no existing knowledge of the books. | ||

Insecticide is a hard-boiled, fast-shooting detective game set in a festering future city where bugs have evolved as the planet's dominant race. A murder at a powerful company leads police from the Insecticide Squad on a bug hunt through the city's seedy underbelly, and into a mystery of epic proportions. Crackpot is in talks to bring the property to other media such as television or film. Join Detective Chrys Liszt and partner Roachy Caruthers on the case as they become entangled in a web of crime. It's an action-adventure in the truest sense of the word, immersing players in cinematic combat levels, as well as a story-based detective investigation. The PC version was to be released as two downloadable episodes with a retail version following soon afterward, but the second episode never materialized due to Gamecock being acquired by SouthPeak Games in 2008 and the latter deciding to cancel the inherited title even though Episode Two was being made. The developer did release the cinematics for Episode 2 on their Youtube channel so as to complete the story. | ||

|---|---|---|---|

This is a full-length AGS adventure game which has taken nearly three years to develop, featuring a wacky cast of characters to interact with, numerous screens to explore, multiple GUIs, and more than twenty chiptunes for your listening pleasure. D. Duck is a champion. Having won Duckcity (Duckburg) marathon, his only goal left in life is winning the heart of Daisy. When D. Duck comes home with heart medicine for his sick old grandmother, fat Uncle Jubalon arrives at his doorstep. Unable to stop his uncle from breaking into the house, D. Duck is witness to an appetite unlike any other. As his girlfriend flees the scene, she seeks shelter in the loving arms of lucky Cousin Anton (Gladstone Gander). Take control over D. Duck as he struggles to handle his biggest problems yet, and meet up with popular Disney characters such as Uncle Scrooge, Magica De Spell and his three troublemaking nephews. The unusual art style and meticulously-animated sprites are the contribution of Bjørnar B., an artist who happens to have an unhealthy obsession with drawing popular Disney characters. As different as the game looks when compared to other AGS releases, there are only two notable drawbacks to be found here. The graphics will put off many people from even downloading it in the first place, especially when taking the large file size into consideration. The odd font choice can be difficult to read at times, while text descriptions and conversations are riddled with many spelling and grammatical mistakes. But these so-called problems are actually intentional design decisions, evidently demonstrated by the colorful inventory items in your possession, the well-written text manual, a complete walkthrough with zero typos, and the inclusion of a reverse text feature in the options menu. | ||

This is a project that has been molded and crafted for over ten years. Originally created as a graphical/text adventure game for the Atari ST and then a traditional point & click game for the Amiga CD32/A1600, the game has evolved over the years to embrace new technologies and new ideas as Majestic Sudios strived to create the adventure game that they first conceived. It's aimed at players who yearn to play the traditional point & click adventure games of old. Utilizing a full mouse driven interface with incredible visuals and devious puzzles, this is the adventure you have been waiting for. Help Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs as he explores the depths of Limbo in the Keep of Lost Souls. Fail and the very essence of Mankind will be ripped apart. Somewhere in Limbo, two huge wooden doors slowly creak open and light seeps into a huge inner sanctum. Two figures; one dressed in black the other white, cross the engraved marble floor and move towards the center of this vast domed room. They stand either side of a large glass globe that sits in an ornate gold cradle, trapped within it a swirling black smoke weaves and bobs around as if it has a life of its own. Three months after its release, in June 2008 it was discovered that the game had plagiarized or copied graphics from several other games including Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, Sea Dogs and World Of Warcraft as well as scenes and dialogue from several movies. The game was pulled off shelves as a result. | ||

Here's another nice comical free AGS adventure. In deep space, one waste-processing employee stands above the rest: Limey Lizard, an incredibly lazy but lovable bloke who always seems to find himself in trouble. In episode 72, this is no exception, and if he doesn't fix the waste disposers the ship'll be flooded with filth, so get out your spanner and your chemically-resistant overalls -- it's gonna be a mucky ride! Those of you of a Leisure Suit Larry loving character will fall head over heels for this one, it's straight out of the Al Lowe school of adventure gaming. Point and click your way out of (and into) trouble with only the sharp witted on board computer PANDA to assist you. Superb production values are the obvious highlight, but engaging characters, an excellent script, and clever puzzles combine to form a hugely enjoyable game. Challenging at times, but not unfairly so, though also slightly unforgiving in places. | ||

Some may feel that Czech director Jan Svankmajer's 1988 film Neco z Alenky is the authoritative Soviet adaptation of Lewis Carroll's book Alice in Wonderland (and for years it undeniably was), but now that title is seriously contested. Fictitiously framed as a cheap Soviet knock-off (or "bootleg demake") of American McGee's Alice, this game presents a new interpretation on a familiar tale, its already-peculiar and surreal elements skewed further through pretend cultural mismatch and a healthy helping of irony. In this tale, Little Girl travels through Underland, following the guidance of Magic Talking Cat, overcoming such Sovietized opponents as the Capitalpillar and Jabbearwock before staging a climactic showdown with the Queen of Democracy. Gameplay largely consists of conversing with new opponents (voiced in a humourously dispassionate fashion) as they are encountered, then selecting the most recent weapon upgrade and applying it on them in obligatory game combat just like in decadent western video games. Arguably the story is on rails but working from such an old and popular source the main appeal is not in seeing what happens but observing designers' decisions as to how. | ||

| Man Boy vs. Doctor Sock | Ben304 | [top] | |

Winner of the Audio category in the 2008 OROW comp. It's a short AGS adventure game created for the fifth One Room, One Week competition that was run between 21st June and 28th June 2008. The game won the audio category. Man Boy is at a ceremony where he is being awarded "Grooviest Superhero in the World Ever" by the mayor, because he can squirt beverages out of his ear. Before he can accept it however he is transported to another dimension where Doctor Sock, a sock puppet using a sleeping boy as a host, keeps him imprisoned. Man Boy needs to find a way back to his world. The game is played from a side-scrolling third-person perspective but like a platform game without depth in the background. The game takes place on two planes, accessed through a door. The keyboards keys are used to move around while the space button performs all actions. Items are stored in an inventory near the top of the screen. There are no multiple dialogue branches and a portrait of the character talking is shown during conversations. Man Boy needs to explore the environment and solve small puzzles that include locating keys, talking to other characters, speeding up time and eventually finding a way to summon the BUS (Birth Universe Selector) to get back to his own world. This is a cute and very original game. Despite its small size, it features some nice special effects, and a dialogue that will make you smile. The puzzles are simple, bordering on rudimentary, and there is a certain amount of running back and forth involved. Furthermore, there is dialogue missing at points where you expect some. Still, for such a short game, this is a remarkable effort. | ||

He suspects that something happened. To avoid losing his reputation, he contacts Maxim Durand through Larisa Svetlova. Due to his past, Maxim is at his disposal and has to help him. In the search for the stolen paintings Max and Lara (mostly on their own) visit the Hermitage, an old library, the Interpol's headquarters in Lyon, the residence in Scotland and further locations. They interrogate the suspects, search for data, break codes and discover forgeries. All their journeys finally lead Max, accompanied by his brother, to the Finnish cloister. Strange deaths, secret signs and increasingly weird behaviour of Max's brother André and of those around him force Max to the very edge of sanity. Max is the main hero; this character is controlled by the player. A young French professor who lectures on the history of art. In order to get money for his wife's surgery he had to start a criminal career - he forged and sold several paintings of the old masters. Lara, the second controllable character is more of a supporting character. She is a young Russian woman who reached the rank of captain in Russian militia. Thanks to her achievements she was later transferred to Lyon in France where she's the Russian representative at Interpol's headquarters. Her task is to promote Russian interests in the department of art theft. In 2012, a Steam release used an enhanced version of the game engine. | ||

Henrik's unusual job is to repair defective electronic devices with his mind by entering their psyche and treating them from the inside. For this he uses the so-called Katharsis Interface, a wrench-like tool that allows him to establish a mental connection with a machine's artificial brain. The game starts when Henrik's PDA receives an emergency call in the middle of the night. The main computer of Rhosonit Engineering, a nearby construction company, experienced a nervous breakdown and needs to be repaired/treated immediately. It's going to be a special night, with Henrik encountering several malfunctioning appliances, such as a suddenly colorblind photocopier, a coffee dispenser with very low self-esteem, and an elevator with a multiple personality disorder. The game was created with the Wintermute Engine which supports realtime polygon characters in front of static, prerendered backgrounds (hence the term 2.5D). It was the final project of Renzo's Bachelor's degree at the Zurich University of the Arts and received the Principal's Award. | ||

Once this amazing 1965 science fiction / science fantasy novel by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky inexplicably charmed the Soviet public. Set in a fictional town in northern Russia, where highly classified research in magic occurs, the novel is a satire of Soviet scientific research institutes, complete with an inept administration, a dishonest, show-horse professor, and numerous equipment failures. It offers an idealistic view of the scientific work ethic, as reflected in the title which suggests that the scientists' weekends are nonexistent. The "Scientific Research Institute of Sorcery and Wizardry," located in the fictional Northern Russian town of Solovets, is portrayed as a place where everyone must work hard willingly, or else their loss of honesty is symbolized by hair growing from their ears. These hairy-eared people are viewed with disdain, but, in a turn symbolic of Soviet times, many of them stay in the institute because it provides them with a comfortable living no matter what. The game is a gently and carefully reworked version of the masters science fiction book. There are 50 locations corresponding to the literary original, 20 witty characters, thoughtful texts and dialogue feed, a user-friendly interface, detailed hand-drawn graphics with smooth animation, in-game texts are read by professional actors, 10 specially written songs in the soundtrack, about 8 hours of exciting passages, and unusual setting dialog scenes: closeups of characters replaced with panoramic views of locations and additional illustrations. | ||

Unlike most room escape games that focus almost strictly on puzzle solving, this seeks to inject mood and atmosphere into what is often an almost apathetic genre. Usually (some choice selections exempted of course), you're simply thrust in a room with no motive to get out other than the player's desire to complete the game. In this, the motivation to leave is made all too clear; this room with its vampire flies, blood stained meat hooks, and grotesque abominations sitting in fluid filled beakers, scares the jebus out of you, and as you slowly work through a way to leave this terrible place, things aren't likely to get better either. With an almost old-school horror movie sensibility, your courage is sure to be tested at every turn with flickering lights, pictures that appear to change out of the corner of your eye, and music and sound effects that make you feel like something is lurking just beyond that rotted old door. Or is there actually something lurking there? A room escape game with bite, it's definitely the game to play after the kids have gone to bed. Turn off the lights, crank up the sound, and if you're easily scared, just keep telling yourself, "It's only a game. It's only a game." | ||

This short edutainment point-and-click adventure is entirely composed of old photographs and maps taken from state archives, which illustrate how the Polish capital changed over the centuries. Apart from jocular comments of player's actions there's a short factual description for each visited location. The game had a limited release on CD-ROM gifted to schools. | ||

Why spend time traipsing through software fantasy lands in search of magic keys when you could be solving the energy crisis... and maybe even global warming? You are on a planet called Helios that has an atmosphere choked with carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The planet is heating up. Extreme weather threatens almost every ecosystem and all of our citizens, and storms have destroyed much of the renewable energy infrastructure including wind turbines, hydroelectric generators and solar towers. Fossil fuel plants work overtime to pick up the slack, pumping tons of poison gases into the air, and there are strange, new threats. There have been scattered reports of what people are calling "SmogGobs:" dense clouds of carbon based emissions that seem almost alive. Scientists can not explain the phenomenon - but citizens are blaming these SmogGobs for sickness and even death of loved ones. World leaders have appealed for help, but it may be too late..." It teaches middle-schoolers about alternative energy sources in a virtual 3-D game world that's light-years ahead of Pac-Man. Players' avatars are sent on collaborative missions whose goals have a teaching point. Mirrors in a solar power plant that reflect sunlight into a solar collector may have been misaligned after a windstorm, for instance, and teams of players have to fix things quickly. Along the way they learn about conservation and solar, wind and hydro power. It is also accessible to students who are blind, experience visual or dexterity impairment, reading difficulty, or are deaf or hard of hearing. | ||

| Quest For Glory 2 VGA Remake | AGD Interactive | [top] | |

AGD Interactive (King's Quest 1 and 2 VGA) is back after a near six-year hiatus from freeware projects with their third Sierra adventure game remake. It's a labor of love in development off and on for nearly seven years. Finally you'll get to meet Rakeesh, Uhura and Ad Avis in their 256-color glory. Following the events chronicled in the prequel, our Hero of Spielburg is whisked away on a magic carpet to the land of Shapeir to undertake the dangerous mission of saving not one but two desert cities. The 1990 release was rather unforgiving at times, as the entire adventure happens in one month but many puzzles can only be solved on certain days. The AGDI team has done much to alleviate the problems that hampered players from completing their quest with the inclusion several new features. All conversation topics are now shown on screen instead of requiring guesswork using a limited text parser interface found in the original. Combat now feels less sluggish thanks to the processing power of modern day computer systems and extra frames of animation. Graphics, backgrounds and sprites have more colour than their classic counterparts, although deserts and alleyways still look as dull as ever. | ||

From the makers of A Tale Of Two Kingdoms comes this parody adventure game. Rather than playing the hero who defeats the Dark Master, you play as a minion who has to kill three heroes so that his Dark Master can take over the world. Since you're too weak to physically fight the heroes, you'll have to trick and out-wit them. To assist you in this, the Master's dark lair contains a muddy pool with a tentacle monster, a torture chamber, a dragon and, of course, a bottomless pit. Also making an appearance is Muggit, the evil cousin of Cuppit, the office assistant from earlier Crystal Shard games. This was written in Adventure Game Studio, runs in high resolution (rather than the classic 320x200) and contains voice acting. The heroes move in real-time through the same rooms as you do. In Dec/2016, a commercial version was released with a number of important enhancements, including graphical upgrades and full voice acting. | ||

Pick up objects around the room, combine them and let your evil skills take care of business. #3 Let The Evil Times Roll (Aug 2010) - This time the demon is sent to capture 3 Reincarnies who are now hiding out in New Orleans, Louisiana.

| Room/Loom Escape Series | Place of Light | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is one of the best series of escape the room type games. Room Fake (Apr/2008) is just one of those games that makes you smile: a good-looking, nicely thought out room escape game with difficult but not confounding puzzles, a save feature(!) and not too much text to exacerbate the language barrier. It is also somewhat reminiscent of Japanese developer Neutral's offerings with its clean, pre-rendered 3D model surroundings. Room Bath (Sep/2008) - A deeply satisfying escape game where you must find your way out of what is undoubtedly the oddest bathroom you've ever come across; codes and secret panels grace the toilet, gems are scattered across the floor and weird golden masks watch over the sink and bathtub. Perhaps it's the work of some eccentric, puzzle-obsessed billionaire....who has, um, slipped, hit his or her head and forgotten how to escape? Room Marine (Feb/2009) - An uncommonly lovely escape game that is also, for better and for worse, unusually difficult. We've come to expect great things from Place of Light; their previous games are both excellent and well-executed. With Room Marine, however, they have positively outdone themselves. While the difficulty of the game can be at times taxing, the reward is more than worth it; if you're a serious connoisseur of escape games, you're gonna love this one. Loom Above (Apr/2009) isn't nearly as long or challenging as previous releases we've seen by this developer, and there are far fewer items to find. The puzzles are all fairly straightforward and the game is a joy to play because of how well everything fits together. Loom Blend (Apr/2009) - The game's scenario is nothing new: you are in a room filled with diabolical puzzles and more than a few secrets, and must employ all of your wits to escape. Loom Custody (July/2009) You wake to find yourself ensconced in a grimy, nearly-bare cell. The blue sky glimpsed through a high window grate is the sole spot of cheer in your bleak prison; with a bit of exploration, however, you will find that the room is far more intriguing and complex than it first appears. To have any chance of escape, you must discover clues, solve puzzles and use all of the limited resources at your disposal. Loom Dawn (Jan/2010) - You begin in an absolutely dark room, and the dynamic is more about lighting the space inch by laborious inch than it is escaping the room. Look around carefully, because you might miss the tiniest glimmers of light in this stifling, gloomy space. Bit by bit you uncover small light sources, which lead to more light sources, which lead to...well, one heck of a cool game and one of the neatest fake-out endings ever. Seriously absorbing, tricky, mind-bending, and a joy to play, Loom Dawn is one of the best room escape games to come out in a long time. Be warned, there are some wicked difficult puzzles enclosed. | ||

This is the commercial version of an earlier 2006 Korean freeware title. It is a sliding-tiles puzzle game with adventure elements, where the objective is to help an animated character escape by connecting the rooms and creating a pathway to the exit gate. The player can only move a room/tile when the character is inside it. This character can move from room to room, if there's no barrier between them. Like in most games, the levels get more complex as the player progresses through it. The first levels have only a few rooms, but as the game progresses, new elements are introduced: locked doors, walls that need to be destroyed with explosives, ladders, teleporters, flooded rooms that kill the character and spinning rooms. The sliding-tile levels take place in four mansions, presented as jigsaw maps. The mansions have chests that contain inventory items. Those objects are used in the separate adventure portion, where inventory puzzles have to be solved to win the four gold puzzle pieces necessary to finish the game. The latest version of the game has the option of turning off the time limit. The deluxe version contains 100% only-mouse interface, new objects & items, more improved graphics, 5 original soundtracks and a Level Editor to create your own puzzles. With all these, 80 new attractive levels are waiting for you to challenge. | ||

The mystery of the Tunguska event from the original game has been resolved, and playable characters Nina Kalenkov and Max Gruber have split up. Nina embarks on a cruise to Portugal and Max travels to Indonesia, but their separation does not last long. There has been an escalation of natural disasters around the world, and Nina's father Vladimir Kalenkov has been called upon to find out what is causing them. At the start of the game a vicar, fleeing into his church, is killed over documents prophesying the apocalypse. He manages to get the documents into the hands of Bishop Parrey, a third playable character who is tasked with keeping the documents out of the wrong hands. Famine in Africa, floods in Southeast Asia, economic crisis in Europe, and civil wars in South America – the world is on the brink of disaster. Nina Kalenkow is trying to escape all of that – and her failed relationship with Max Gruber – on a nostalgic cruise to Portugal. But she is witness to a murder in the Hamburg docks and is soon thrust into the spotlight of events that encompass not only continents but also centuries. Whilst her ex-boyfriend and scientist Max is witness to inexplicable natural catastrophes during his research into ancient Indonesian temples, Nina immerses herself, together with a Catholic priest called David Korell, deeply into the secrets of a fanatical brotherhood that prophesises the end of the world. They soon have to ask themselves what the connection is between the prophesised apocalypse and a sinister leader of an Order from the Middle Ages. Can the knowledge that lies buried in the past prevent the catastrophes that loom in the future? And what power is hidden in a thousand year-old document, for which people are still murdered for today? A terrible secret awaits her – and the world is on the brink of a shocking future. | ||

Prequel: Lair of the Ant Queen (May) - An innkeeper asks the duo to rid his inn of an ant infestation.

The prologue consists of random puzzles that lead Reemus and Liam to the Ant Queen, which Reemus must defeat.

Chapter 4: The Beastly Blackhole of Bureaucracy (Jan/2012) - Reemus and Liam land on the shores of the Kingdom of Danricus with high hopes of securing their heroic quest to stop the Death Slug invasion.

| Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Persian Carpet | Frogwares Game Development Studio / Big Fish Games, Inc | [top] | |

Hunker down at your flat at 221b Baker St. in London. The year is 1896, and Scotland Yard has called Sherlock Holmes with an urgent request for help. Along with Watson, you must investigate a peculiar crime - a young painter has been murdered and found rolled up in a remarkable Persian carpet. It's an adventure game with the classic character created by Arthur Conan Doyle. The gameplay is combination of point-and-click adventure standards with hidden object mechanics. Starting in Holmes apartment, the game shows on the upper left three icons for quick access to the apartment itself, a Victorian London map where several locations appear as the investigation goes further and Scotland Yard. Holmes apartment has a blackboard and a chemistry table. When clicked, the blackboard shows the deduction board, a grid where objects and suspects are placed (sometimes automatically) in order to lead to the murderer and the case solution. The chemistry table is where Holmes analyses collected objects, looking for clues. In the Scotland Yard, Holmes can read reports and review testimonies and suspects' profiles. Each location is presented as a screen with an inventory box at the bottom. This box has silhouettes of objects that the player must collect by finding and clicking on them. After being stored in the inventory, they can be used as any object on a regular adventure game. The lower part of the inventory has two icons, a jigsaw piece for "assembly" and gears for "use". Dragging and dropping an object on one of them performs the action (for example, dropping a shredded letter in the jigsaw piece brings up a separate screen where the letter must be reassembled). These icons turn golden when there are no further use for them on the scene. | ||

So Blonde is an adventure game where you play as Sunny Blonde, a 17-year old blonde girl stranded on an island all by herself. Being on a cruise in the Bermudas, the ship is hit by a heavy thunderstorm and the cute girl escapes the tragedy in a life boat. On top of that, she is transported a few hundred years back in time, in an age when the pirates and buccaneers ruled the world. See Sunny exploring the beautiful Bermudas island and its various sub-locations. In the village, for example, Sunny enters a factory outlet of a clothing manufacturer – here, she will very much take interest in a wedding dress. Although the outlet sprays the romantic charm of the 17th century, this and other institutions in the village benefit from advanced commerce, technology and design. Anyway, huts are spotting the skyline of the native colony of chief Bajari. Here, Sunny will help the chieftain with the healing powers of a magical artefact which she got hold of trickily in the gloomy Voodoo temple of the island. What will be reserved to the blonde and the players is the insight that the marvellous artefact actually appears to be Sunny's MP3 player. When travelling the island, Sunny will often have to cross the jungle. Several kinds of mini games will freshen up the classical point & click gameplay. Amongst others, there will be a homage to the LCD games of the 1980's. But, for the complete adventure game, the mini games will amount only a small part of the playing time. Also, the level of difficulty of these mini games will be low enough that even unexperienced players will have the chance to go through them quickly. Renowned adventure game writer Steve Ince (“Broken Sword”) is responsible for the game's unusual story. Gamers will not only be faced with adventure and puzzling riddles but will see the protagonist grow from rich, spoiled luxury girl to a courageous survivor. The game has it all: a beautiful (anti-)heroine, jet black humor that goes far beyond trite cliches, gorgeous cartoon graphics and a ton of gameplay surprises. | ||

You are looking for missing wife Kate in the town Soundless Mountain. This is an NES-style remake of Konami's Silent Hill 2. It's called a demake since this newer version uses older graphics - a point-an-click adventure interface. It was created for the TIGSource Bootleg Demakes competition. It turns the 3d game into a side-scrolling platformer modelled after a NES game. The music has also been remixed to what would be possible to hear on such a system. The game uses parallax scrolling, simulates fog and mist, and often has the camera scrolling faster or slower than the player's movement to enhance the cinematic effect. The game covers the early events in the game, a short portion from Jake's arrival in the town of Silent Hill up to the apartment section. Jake came to the town because he received a letter addressed by his deceased wife who told him she would be waiting for him there. All the while, he has a terrible headache and explores the town to find out more about the origin of the letter. The gameplay has been adapted truthfully to the limitations and options of a 2d game with a focus to retain the distinct original elements such as the art, music and speed. The backgrounds and locations can easily be recognized, Jake has a rather slow walking speed and the music becomes more dramatic whenever a key section has been reached. Large parts of the game are spent wandering, Jake needs to solve small puzzles and he can also attack enemies on the streets of the town. Important items are stored in the inventory and a map is available to guide Jake around. The author has expressed to release an updated version of the game which additional content for the ending part of the game, to lead up to a more dramatic climax. From the opening scene to the descent into Silent Hill, this demake wordlessly communicates a devotion and love to the original game that is not only stunning, but something any devotee of the game can relate to directly. The sound is of special mention, as it manages to recreate the eerie atmosphere to perfection, which is no small feat for a demake. | ||

| Strange and Somewhat Sinister Tale of the House at Desert Bridge, The | Jonas Kyratzes | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

|
Old Man Bill, a well-adjusted mad scientist in the Dr. Brain vein, has disappeared from his home in the surreal dreamland of Desert Bridge (just take a left at Oneiropolis), and his household's steward, Harold the Talking Picture Frame (Bill's first creation), means to find him in order to restore meaning to the lives of its denizens. Harold recruits Bill's old friend game designer Jonas Kyratzes to rig up a software interface permitting its inhabitants to seek some external assistance from the real world in locating Bill. This assistant is the player. Using a point-and-click first-person interface (and a hearty helping of whimsical humour) to navigate the charmingly crayon-and-marker-illustrated grounds of the house, the player will explore, investigate and interact with curious characters such as Stripes the dinosaur, Zathras the turtle, Emperor Squiggles the Magnificent (a cat) and a whole host of sentient mushrooms, as well as achieving a deeper understanding of an endless series of fanciful machines (running on gerbil-generated electricity... can you get the dynamos turning again!) and polite robot doors running the Butlerware GUI. Through these exchanges (and inventory management including the verbs "smell", "shake" and "gerbelize") the player will accrue passwords, ciphers, recipes and instructions for traversing barriers and operating peculiar apparati permitting passage to rarified portions of the estate kept under lock and key, and uncover just what has happened to kindly Old Man Bill anyway... Could it possibly have anything to do with those shadowy armies of Urizen massing in the distance? | ||

Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands (Oct 27) - Strong Bad, in another attempt to satisfy his ego, has come up with another brilliant plan. This time, he will start his own rock band and attempt to become the most popular music group around. Enlisting the help of The Cheat and Strong Mad, Strong Bad will have to compete against various other artists, such as Coach Z and Bubs. Episode 4: Dangeresque 3 (Nov 17) - Move over, James Bond! Strong Bad's here to show you how it's done in his hand-crafted cinematic masterpiece, Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective. You play Dangeresque, a dirty cop in pursuit of a little action and several big sacks of cash. Can our hero stay alive long enough to defeat his arch-nemesis and save the world? Looks like he's gonna have to jump. Episode 5: 8-Bit Is Enough (Dec 15) - Trogdor must be stopped! The beefy-armed dragon of legend has broken free from his arcade cabinet and is burninating the land. With classic 8-bit games leaking into the real world and Strong Badia a fiery mess, only Strong Bad can take back the night and conquer this scorching menace once and for all. Does anybody know how to kill a dragon? | ||

| Tale Of Despereaux, The | Brash Entertainment | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an interactive game based on Universal Pictures' animated adventure of the same name. The game shares the fairy-tale look and feel of the upcoming film about a chivalrous mouse, full of courage and honor. The game will follow and extend the film's storyline in adventures spanning from the magical kitchen and colorful rooms of the castle to the dark dungeons of the rat lairs. An introductory training mode, mouse-centric unique abilities, upgradeable skills and objects, and a lot of courage, will help Despereaux face off against a multitude of animal enemies and human foes on his quest to save Princess Pea. Multiple difficulty settings will ensure that a wide range of adventurers can enjoy Despereaux's heroics again and again. Once upon a time, in the faraway kingdom of Dor, there was magic in the air, laughter aplenty and gallons of mouthwatering soup. But an accident left the King broken-hearted, the Princess filled with longing and the townsfolk without their soup. Sunlight disappeared. The world became gray. All hope was lost in this land…until Despereaux Tilling was born. A modern fairy tale, it tells the story of several unlikely heroes: Despereaux (Matthew Broderick), a brave mouse banished to the dungeon for speaking with a human; Roscuro (Dustin Hoffman), a good-hearted rat who loves light and soup, but is exiled to darkness; Pea (Emma Watson), a Princess in a gloomy castle who is prisoner to her father's grief; and Mig (Tracey Ullman), a servant girl who longs to be a Princess, but is forced to serve the jailer (Robbie Coltrane). Tiny and graced with oversized ears, Despereaux was born too big for his little world. Refusing to live his life cowering, he befriends a Princess named Pea and learns to read (rather than eat) books—reveling in stories of knights, dragons and fair maidens. Banished from Mouseworld for being more man than mouse, Despereaux is rescued by another outcast, Roscuro, who also wants to hear the tales. But when the Princess dismisses Roscuro's friendship, he becomes the ultimate rat and plots revenge with fellow outsider Mig. After Pea is kidnapped, Despereaux discovers he is the only one who can rescue her…and that even the tiniest mouse can find the courage of a knight in shining armor. In this tale of bravery, forgiveness and redemption, one small creature will teach a kingdom that it takes only a little light to show the truth: what you look like doesn't equal what you are. | ||

Well over a century after Robert Louis Stevenson first took readers on an unforgettable swashbuckling adventure, game developers are now returning to the fabled Treasure Island in the hopes of finding interactive riches buried in the original tale. While Destination: Treasure Island proved to be a loosely-connected sequel, players have the chance to live through Stevenson's own classic story in this game. It puts players right in the 18th century shoes of 17-year old Jim Hawkins, who discovers an old treasure map of the legendary pirate Captain Flint and sets sail aboard the Hispaniola with a crew that includes the one-legged Long John Silver and his talking parrot. Little does Jim know that the scheming crew has plans of its own, and the voyage quickly becomes a thrilling quest over land and sea for Flint's buried riches. The game stays faithful to Stevenson's original story, recreating all the main events, locations, and characters from the book, while updating the dialogue slightly and adapting the story in minor ways to better suit the gameplay. It uses a traditional adventure interface, combining familiar third-person perspective and point-and-click controls. The graphics are presented in full 3D, using dynamic cameras with real-time visual effects. Players will of course be tasked with solving a variety of challenges, including the likes of inventory, dialogue, and logic-based puzzles, along with some integrated mini-games. There's plenty of character interaction, as well, and each NPC will feature its own changing daily routine. | ||

| Unbirth (cancelled) | Thomas Grip / Frictional Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Unbirth was a project created by Thomas Grip, one of the founders of Frictional Games. Sadly the game was never finished and never released for various reasons, but due to ongoing inquires from the Penumbra community it was decided to release this early alpha version of Unbirth. While Unbirth and Penumbra are two different games, it will be quite the journey for Penumbra players to experience Unbirth. There are many similarities and at times Unbirth will give clear hints of being the predecessor to Penumbra. Unbirth was first started in late 2001 while the creator was still in the army. The basic idea was to make a horror game like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, but in first person, with more stuff to examine and a little less violence. It was done on a friend's 3D engine that could be used for free but as time passed the engine got better and better but as changes were made to it because of customer demands, this forced the game creator to change his code as well. At the end of the project's life it went so far that basically all code had to rewritten into a new programming language. The released free demo / alpha is the culmination of around 2 years of work. While this is not the last version of Unbirth made, it is the latest working version that could be found. After this version, a lot of other people joined the project but not much more playable content was added. Unbirth was last worked on in late 2004, meaning the project lasted for 3 years. However, while Unbirth is dead, its spirit lives on in the Penumbra series of games. | ||

But when a pair of explosions tear through the passenger compartment while the ship is still in the middle of deep space, Leo and Averie must determine exactly what happened, fix the problems, and discover what - or who - caused the explosions in the first place. Leo must search high and low for information, pay attention to the clues that he finds, and carefully weigh every decision he makes.

Opened to the public in mid October 2008, IBM's virtual forbidden city is a to scale replica of the Chinese city of the same name which served China for centuries as an exclusive realm for the nation's emperors. To create it, IBM spent more than three years working with Chinese officials and the Palace Museum to construct an interactive, animated replica of the 178-acre walled fortress in the Dongcheng District of Beijing. The Virtual Forbidden City is an immersive, 3-dimensional virtual world where you can interact with visitors from around the world and celebrate and explore aspects of Chinese culture and history. You can explore the magnificent palace as it was during the Qing dynasty, which ruled from 1644 until 1912, the end of the Imperial period in China. It provides several tools to aid in your exploration, although your own sense of curiosity will always serve you best. Don't hesitate to move through the Virtual Forbidden City looking for areas of interest and clicking your mouse to see if more information is available. As you explore, there are many ways to gain a deeper understanding of the things that you encounter. Many of the most impressive artifacts and buildings have additional information and even photos to provide a deeper understanding of their purpose and construction: when available, the information is only a mouse-click away. To get an even closer look at the intricate details of select items, you can virtually hold a copy of them in your hands. While exploring a place as large as the Virtual Forbidden City, you're likely to encounter more wonderful things than you can remember. Just as you record memories of any place that you visit, registered users of the Virtual Forbidden City can save photos, places and items that they've enjoyed. | ||

Search the exquisitely rendered (and eerily silent) environment for anything that can help you escape! It has a designed warm woody room as the escape stage because the creation season for the game was winter. The game volume is a little large, and it has attached importance to solving riddles more than looking for items, so the usual save function may be more helpful. Look for items in every corner of the room, making sure to push your nosy mouse cursor between objects and around every piece of furniture. You'll encounter several locked cabinets and drawers, both with keypad-like puzzle locks and traditional locks that look like they require a key. Each item you find can be examined using the magnifying glass icon located in the upper right corner of its inventory space. Use it often! | ||

| Void, The / Tension | Ice-Pick Lodge / ND Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
From the makers of Pathologic comes this survival adventure game, in which you have to stay alive in the hostile world of Void and to get out from it as quick as possible. The choice is either to support life in its horrifying Hunters or its mournful girls or strip them of it. The way you pass through The Void is the way it changes. The way it reflects upon you. The surrealistic world of Tension is based on a single resource that grants the ability to live and act – Lympha. Each color of Lympha possesses its own character and unique properties – both useful and dangerous. Only Lympha gives life, but it can take it back as well. Hunters' blood, captured creature, gracious girls, tree brought to life, just everything is the source of Lympha. Any action you take: battling an enemy, talking to a Sister, hunting, searching, traveling – the price in exchange is Lympha. It's a unified resource for: the currency, the hero's health, armory and inventory, the character's stat system and the world settings. The dynamic, interactive environment and the severe resource shortage constantly put the player into unexpected circumstances. All the actions are done via drawing by Lympha. The amount of Lympha used influences the effectiveness of the result. 7 colors of Lympha are of the same value of nutrition, but produce a different effect in the same situations, if used. Each color of Lympha can benefit and each can harm. The player can take advantage of a color, though even a drop of any color can change the world of the Gap. The gameplay in Tension is non-linear the ending (one of the 11) depends on the color and the amount of Lympha used. | ||

Based on the film and book the game delivers an experience that follows the same storyline and embellishes it with a series of exciting interactive levels based both on land and in the water. Alternating between control of Angus (the finder of the water horse egg) and Crusoe (the curious water horse that hatches from the egg) the player will be taken on an adventure of discovery and growth which sees the little water horse hatch, learn to swim and grow rapidly into a huge and unique beast that must escape to the open sea. All this action will be presented through two separate game play styles, one on land where the player must sneak around and avoid the suspicious adult foes and one in the water, guiding Crusoe (sometimes carrying Angus) from unsure swimmer to king of the waves. | ||

|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Based on the James Patterson novels (and the subsequent television spin-off) and made by Gabriel Knight's creator Jane Jensen, this is a murder mystery wrapped in an adventure game spiced with light hidden object scenes and a few simple minigames. Investigating crimes is the central focus of gameplay, with heaping doses of clue sniffing, murder scene scrutinizing, and some light labwork here and there to keep the story moving along. You don't need to be a fan of the series to enjoy the game, and even if you are, it weaves a completely new tale (penned by Patterson) that stays faithful to the original characters' personalities. This time, however, you're in charge. With each crime you're presented a scene with a small list of objects to find and points of investigation to cover. Not only will you need to grab items, you'll also examine the body and a few key points of interest in the murder scene. The interesting twist is that you play different characters, each with specialized knowledge that will uncover new facts in the case. Everything you discover is catalogued in evidence and information tabs that can be reviewed at any time. Many scenes come with a simple inventory puzzle that pulls the object finding into an adventure-style riddle. In the first investigation, for example, you must locate items to block holes in a rock so you can capture a key item from a feisty crab. Simple, but an effective diversion from the streamlined pattern of the game. The rest of the game is divided between short dialogue sequences, quick mini-games that are integrated into your investigation, and character specific tasks. Claire, for example, spends a lot of time in the lab mixing chemicals to discover the type of poison used on a victim. | ||

| Zak McKracken 2: Between Time And Space | M.S.I. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

This is a fan-made unofficial sequel of the adventure-classic “Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders” which was released in 1988. It uses the theme of this impressive cult-game and creates a sequel which follows in the footsteps of the classic adventure games, but at the same time delivers a brand new experience. The team worked about seven years on this unofficial non-commercial sequel. It is one of the most extensive fan-adventures ever released with over 50 high-quality Locations, accompanied with athmospheric music and filled with numerous, lovely animations and challenging puzzles. A ludicrous story fully dubbed and with professional cut-scenes are awaiting you. Originally in German, a Director's Cut came out in May/2015 which in addition to a variety of additions and improvements, also added translation into English and French. | ||

| Zak McKracken and the Alien Rockstars (cancelled) [G] | ZMAR-Team | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is the first fan project to enter development and originally titled "Zak McKracken 2", later renamed Zak McKracken and the Alien Rockstars, which was started in 1996. It is one of the very first amateur projects in the adventure genre. Because a lot of people joined and left the team over the course of its development, the game progressed slowly, to the point where it disappeared completely in 2001. In 2005 it was re-announced as a new project, being re-developed from scratch. The project was eventually cancelled in 2008, however, as the developers felt that Zak McKracken: Between Time and Space, a fangame that had been released in the meantime, was good enough to warrant abandoning their own project. One of the game's official websites has been archived, allowing players to download the project's original German tech-demo, however their other, zak2.de, was lost due to the use of a robots.txt file, which actively prevented its archival. Zak is a journalist for the National Inquisitor newspaper, which for some reason is very fond of publishing various sensations, to put it mildly dubious. Zak is constantly looking for something so incredible, for which he will immediately be given at least a Pulitzer prize. The action takes place in 1997. He learns about two students, Melissa Chain and Leslie Bennet, who landed on Mars to destroy the sinister plans of the Caponians (i.e., judging by the template-wise name, some highly developed aliens), secretly invading human society and stupidly affecting people using special interference in conventional communication lines. Fortunately, another ancient alien race, the Scolarians, had long devised a device to counteract the similar stupid impulses of the Caponians. Now Zach, along with another girl, Annie Larris, must collect parts of the protective device scattered in various parts of the Earth, and thus save the world. The plot in the sequel is a continuation of the first part. 10 years have passed since reporter Zak McCracken and his friends prevented the Caponians from enslaving the Earth. What happened during this time? Our Zak is now the editor-in-chief of the prestigious Nachtecho; he married the girl of his dreams, Annie Larris. His girlfriends Melissa Chain and Leslie Bennett settled on Mars, where they now run a small hotel. But recently, in the central park of New York City, a pyramid was discovered, the entrance to which was never opened. Zak quickly realized on the spot - and drew a mysterious drawing with a pencil. The door opened, and now in front of Zak is a dark corridor to the inside of the pyramid, the road to new adventures. The gameplay is typical of the quest genre. You can select questions in dialogs with the NPC. There is a wide range of actions (everything is in German): Öffne - open, Schließe - close, Gib - give, Schau an - see, Rede mit - talk, Nimm - take, Benutze - use, Drüсke - press, Zieh - pull. The inventory is designed for a dozen wearable items. Specifically, in the demo version at the hotel on Mars, you need to find some valuable amulet stolen from one respected guest, Mr. Black, and hidden somewhere here in the hotel. At first, only a few locations are available: reception, cellar, kitchen and restaurant hall. It will be very difficult to complete the task in the demo version, because the authors prepared strange situations, non-standard solutions, and illogical puzzles and even logical dead ends will make almost any player doubt their intellectual powers. The graphics are very pleasing to the eye: resolution 640x480, a soft palette and smooth contours for all graphic objects. The game menu interface has partly inherited the layout from the first game in the series. The use of digitized speech was envisaged, but in the demo version there is very little of it - only in the introductory part. A pleasant musical theme plays in the background. There is good originality and humor - these are the main components of this game series, which should be familiar to any self-respecting old gamer. The game was never completed but a playable version was released. | ||

| AXE: Dark Temptation | Aquiris Game Experience | [top] | |

|
This Unity3D based web game was made for the promotion of Axe (Lynx in Europe) Dark Temptation Body Spray for the Brazil market. The game is in Portuguese, but is easy to get in the game. A tip - "Jogar Agora" means "Play Now". The game followed the logic of the commercial when the boy, after using Axe, turned into a man-Chocolate. The women then went crazy to get pieces of his body and the boy has to run away. The goal is to reach the end of the road losing as few pieces as possible. As the boy is slower than the girls, he has to dodge every time they approach. Or throw one of his 10 chocolate fingers in order to distract them. Chocolate-Man can still use some "traps" such as culverts, banana peels and balloons, causing foolhardy girls to fall. When caught, he loses his arms, legs and trunk, eventually becoming just a head walking. Some curiosities of the game: - The girls of the game are the same ones that participated in a vote for a contest in Playboy magazine, the contest which was won Talula Pascoli. Down the hill before the square you can get into a shopping cart located right around the corner. It was released an Easter Egg by typing in 293efct that leaves the girls only in lingerie. | ||

This is a remake of original Bionic Commando for the Nintendo Entertainment System which was different from all other platform versions. The visuals are updated to the year 2008's standards and it remains quite faithful to the gameplay and general mission structure of the 1989 game. It should be noted that the game remade is the North American release, so no Nazi symbols or references can be seen in the remake. There are however a number of additions never seen in the original. The first is the ability to play the game completely through the co-op mode and a plethora of various multiplayer modes. Another one is the completely reworked boss battles that change their AI to accommodate for a second player. Some enemies are now more vulnerable to a particular weapon type while others barely scratch them. The remake also sees an appearance of challenge rooms that must completed without touching the floor once. This can be done using the bionic arm, which the player can use to swing around. Those events are optional and time based. Hacking now includes solving a 3D puzzle in something resembling a cyberspace. Completing those puzzles is optional, however it may provide a hint as how to destroy the boss on the current level. The PC version features additional PC-only challenge rooms added with a patch to compensate for its higher price. | ||

| Demonophobia | Unknown | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Demonophobia is a disturbing guro hentai game with some element of lollicon, involving death, torture and dismemberment with very crude scenes. As such it is recommended for ages 21 or up. The game's protagonist is the girl Sakuri who tries summoning demons for a personal vengeance. She imagined it as a game but the ritual succeeds and she ends up in hell. Although there is direct control over her actions, the player is cast as the audience who witnesses the story. She had to go to six levels do undo the ritual and save her village and people. The game is of the 2D side-scrolling kind with different screens linked together in a maze-like fashion. She has very little means of defence and instead needs to avoid enemies by running past them, crouching or quickly moving to a new area. The author appears to aim for shock value, as the game features numerous gruesome long death sequences with a disturbing amount of detail. As Sakuri is in hell, she never really dies but instead needs to replay the same sequences. At certain moments a checkpoint is provided. The girl has a limited amount of health. As she is hit by enemies, the border colour of her portrait and the facial expression on it is altered. All six levels offer an end boss that requires quick reflexes to kill, with the final one being Lucifer, presented as a deformed butcher. Sakuri can also pick up items to open doors, restore health and there are a few scarce weapons. Collected items are stored at the bottom of the screen and can be selected at any time. The game features explicit nudity with sadistic elements. At certain parts of the game, the girl is entirely naked as she battles the demons. There is no sound or music in the game. | ||

As Bolt, players can use his superpowers, including laser vision and his superbark, which sends out a sonic blast to devastate opponents, and as Penny, players utilize stealth, hacking skills and a wheelbar, inspired by her scooter seen in the movie, to outwit enemies. Whereas the film sees Bolt undertake a Homeward Bound-style storyline to return to his native Hollywood after being mistakenly shipped to New York City, the game "uses the film as a springboard, expanding upon the action and dynamic story elements." As such, the game features a globe-trotting adventure, where players will journey to five international locales, including Russia and Italy. | ||

The sixth main game in the long running Dynasty Warriors series (or fifth if one goes by the original Japanese naming scheme) once again allows the player to take a legendary hero from the quasi-historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" into battle against thousands of enemy peons. The player needs to battle his way through numerous battlefields, capturing forts and succeeding in objectives in order to bring about victory for his faction. It is an action game with traces of strategy when the player is faced with how to achieve certain sub-missions during a battle. It is the third game on PC (DW5 came out in Japan only) and the first of the series to be designed specifically for the 3rd generation of consoles and graphically makes better use of their hardware, allowing for sharper detail and more enemies on screen. New elements include a redesigned combo system, called "Renbu" where longer, though less varied, attack strings can be made and the ability to climb and swim. Contrary to tradition of past games in the series, Dynasty Warriors 6 offers fewer characters than before. Forty one characters are eventually unlocked, but only seventeen have story modes, each designed specifically for that character. The others can be used in the game's free mode and can be built up and obtain weapons and skills. | ||

This is first in a series of videogames, featuring educational and ecologist contents, without giving up the funny and involving aspects of purely entertaining games. This game's main purpose is to spread the key concepts of contemporary ecologist education among the young people, using catchy and modern instruments, keeping an eye open to the difficult situation mankind will experience in this very sector in the next few decades. The first Eco Warriors videogame (Episode I: "Invasion of the Necrobots"), developed within the informative and awareness campaign "DifferenteMente" by the Apulia Region (2008), will take place among apulian natural and historical treasures. The players' active participation to an adventure structurated just like a real videogame will give us the unique and effective change to spread ecologist knowledge and topics using an ever-growing global communication tool.

| Eversion | Zaratustra Productions | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Eversion was made for the TIGSource Commonplace Book competition inspired by the line sounds - possibly musical - heard in the night from other worlds or realms of being. Designed as a cutesy platformer, it quickly changes into something else and gradually throws overboard most of the standard platforming elements it appears to contain. The premise is however simple - travel through several worlds to save the princess in the castle. The character can jump and needs to collect gems in the levels. Although simple at first, at certain locations in the game, the scenery colour slightly changes and a silent music tracks loops over the existing one. At that point, the player can press the everse button that changes the scenery, music and the level conventions you were acquainted with. Enemies no longer damage you, certain objects become impassable, innocent trees become deadly hazards, the score starts spinning into infinity or the character is chased by dark clouds. These eversion techniques are needed to complete the levels and collect all the games. Somewhat like Braid, it is possible to complete a level without solving it entirely as it can be revisited afterwards for the remainder of the gems. Based on the amount of gems collected, this leads to two different endings, including altered levels and an extra level, for the player to find out. In 2010, a commercial high-definition version was released, now with Steam support. Complete achievements and compete against your friends in Time Attack levels! | ||

Facewound is a free 2D side scroller which uses 3D acceleration to bring 2D games up to date and was made by the guy behind Garry's Mod but using an engine of its own. If you have a pixel shader 2.0 capable card you're in for a treat with effects such as water reflection and refraction, explosion shock waves, refracting rain and heat refraction. The engine also features an impressive to watch particle physics engine which makes things like sparks, water impacts and bullet shells really fun to watch. The original aim with Facewound was to make a 2D game with all of the effects of something like Counter-Strike:Source and more. The gameplay was kept as simple as possible - a run and gun. If it moves, shoot it. You're likely to be attacked by zombies, spacebrains, ghosts, skeletons, rocks, fish and more. On your way through the levels you collect plutonium, which you can use to buy new weapons (of which there are lots). | ||

This is a continuation of the fun game "33 square meters: War with the neighbors". The player will play for the characters a family who want to win an apartment in the TV show "The war with the neighbors." The game begins with the fact that Sergei runs his car into an old Lada SUV bandit at the traffic lights. Now he has to sell the apartment to pay off the bandits. Then on TV it's advertising the launch of a new show, where the winners will be the owners of new apartments in the center of Moscow and he decides to enter. The game has the same 12 episodes of the first game and has added another 3 with a fresh batch of dirty tricks. First plotting on behalf of Greenpeace with foul air (his favorite dead skunk). Next in line - a circus magician Billy Bam, unsuccessfully sawed Clara Zakharovna. And for dessert - TV presenter Boris whose molestation finally ticked off Zvezdunova senior. | ||

n I-Fluid the player controls a tiny drop of water. Watching the environments from its eyes (or rather a camera hovering behind it), everyday objects become hazardous obstacles that need to be avoided, as a mix between Bad Mojo and the many Marble Madness clones . Next to obvious hurdles such as fire, for each object the rate of absorption needs to be determined. Towels, sugar or paper will make the drop slim down causing it to evaporate eventually. Regeneration is provided through humid objects and much like Sonic the Hedgehog collecting scattered rings, after falls or bumping into objects smaller droplets can be gathered to grow in size. Most of the levels takes place in familiar, everyday locations with plants, food and vegetables. Both the environment and objects are rendered to look as authentic as possible. Another important factor is the physics engine. Jumping on leafs of plants, pushing paper-clips out of the way or sliding down in a bottle cap to ram nuts, the tiny drop has a remarkable strength and can manipulate the environment. Thirsty insects hover around and try to trap the water. Other features include taking control of humid objects, clinging to surfaces, moving around in the dark guided by a firefly and (double)-jumping to reach higher areas. The camera can be freely rotated and offers extensive zoom options. There are fifteen levels in total with three game modes for each: Mission (regular games), Petals (collect the flower petals) and Time Attack (get the fastest time). In regular missions the objectives are not always clear, but need to be discovered through experiment. Helpful question marks nudge the player in the right direction. All levels can be selected from a central court as a central hub where pipes lead to the different areas. | ||

Iji is an action platformer which took Daniel Remar four years to make, where players assume control of the titular character as she learns how to cope with waking up to find her world taken over by an alien race. Guided by her brother who speaks through the research complex's loudspeaker system, she has to find a way to convince an alien leader to retreat and save humankind from total annihilation. Iji's skills can be upgraded by acquiring nanofields left behind by the aliens, then spent on cyborg stations to increase any of her seven basic stats. You can only acquire a maximum of five nano points per sector, and one nano point is awarded whenever your nano gauge reaches its limit. Progress is saved automatically after the completion of each Sector, but not before boss fights. This is also one of the very few games which offers multiple storyline paths in relation to how much the player resorts to violence when dealing with the adversities they face. There are ten sectors to play through in total, not inclusive of the secret level which can only be unlocked once certain requirements have been fulfilled. | ||

This is based on the summer 2008 movie starring Edward Norton. Smash every building in a seamless New York City. Every item is a weapon and every environment is an opportunity for destruction. Fight the U.S. Army and the sinister Enclave as Bruce Banner desperately races to find a cure for the Hulk before his adversaries obtain the ultimate weapon of mass destruction: him. Bruce Banner has spent years searching for a cure to his "condition" – a condition that causes him to turn into a huge green monster when he gets too agitated or excited. Now, at least, he's close. He thinks he can finally create an antidote and become a normal human being again. Unfortunately, other people have different plans for him. General Ross wants the Hulk as a weapon for the Army and the secretive leaders of the Enclave want him eliminated before the Hulk ruins their plans for New York. It's enough to make a guy angry, and no one likes Bruce Banner when he gets angry. New York City's towering skyscrapers allow for exciting vertically based gameplay, while powerful, massive enemies such as Bi-Beast and the Abomination challenge the Hulk's might. A realistic next-gen, open-world representation of Manhattan provides gamers with an immense playground of destruction that also contains sub-quests, minigames, and a story that reaches beyond the film to include elements from classic Marvel comics. | ||

This is a one-level arcade interpretation of Zelda. Players control Link as the main character in a very large level with different bosses. The gameplay is fairly similar to Noitu Love 2, by the same developer. He made it as a tribute to the series and as a break while working on his new title Solar Plexus. With fast, arcade-like gameplay, the main characters needs to search through a Dirt Temple and take out all opposition. The main character is armed with a sword, used for a wide arrays of moves and combos, and a special item for extra moves. Before starting the game, the item needs to be chosen as well as the means of double jumping. Instead of a regular double jump players can opt to use a chicken to fly around or to launch a spear that attaches itself to ceilings. Defeated enemies leave behind gems, and hearts that replenish the health. When a fairy is picked up, an additional life is provided. There are also several puzzle elements involving boxes and keys. | ||

This is similar to the Lego Star Wars series, in that it is both be a game based on a licensed property and has environments, objects and creatures made out of Lego. The game stars Batman and his sidekick Robin fighting crime in Gotham City. Characters onscreen each have individual animations and both Batman and Robin have their animated TV show dressing style. There will be 36 true levels in the game (18 for the heroes and 18 for the villains), as well as some secret levels. After you play through the level from the heroes' perspective, you will unlock the level from the villains' perspective. A similar grappling system to the one used in Lego Star Wars II will be used. The style of the game will focus more on Batman: The Animated Series and the comics rather than the new movies. Batman, Robin, the Joker, Catwoman, and the Penguin will be some of the playable characters. Two levels involving Batman and Robin chasing Catwoman with a diamond, and a level where Joker and Harley Quinn are in a theme park level, ending with a boss battle against Commissioner James Gordon are among them. A player can swap characters, and there's a version of Robin with scuba gear and another with magna-shoes. The hub that houses all levels, similar to those in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga and Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, will be the Batcave for the heroes and Arkham Asylum for the villains. New moves featured in Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures will be added, such as swimming underwater. Some of the characters available include Catwoman, the Riddler, Two-Face, the Scarecrow, the Joker, Harley Quinn and Nightwing. Clayface is also available even though he isn't part of the Lego Batman franchise already. Others include Man-Bat and Nighthawk. You can build and drive Lego versions of favorite vehicles like the Batmobile, Batboat and the Batwing. | ||

This game will allow players to recreate moments (a bit more humorous) from the first three Indiana Jones films. It will feature the same drop in/out co-operative play mode as seen in the Lego Star Wars video games. As a promotion, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga features Indy as an unlockable playable character. Some of the playable characters include Sallah, Marcus Brody, the german mechanic, and Toht. The developers have chosen to remove Nazis - and any reference to them, replacing them with an "anonymous genocidal, occultist, trenchcoat-wearing master-race". While four characters may be visible on the screen, only two can be controlled by players. It takes the fun and creative construction of LEGO and combines it with the wits, daring and non-stop action from the original cinematic adventures that enthralled audiences everywhere (Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). With a tongue-in-cheek take on these original adventures, LEGO Indiana Jones follows Dr. Jones's escapades through the jungles of South America to the mountaintops of India where you will build, battle and brawl your way through your favorite moments, from Indy's entanglements with snakes to his dashing boulder run. For the first time ever, LEGO characters are fully immersed in their environment; they are able to swim, climb, shimmy across rock ledges and pick up and carry objects. Also for the first time ever, you can use a variety of weapons from the environment such as chairs, guns, swords and bottles to fight enemies. And no Indiana Jones game would be complete without Indy's signature whip which you'll use as a multi-purpose tool to attack, disarm, swing across gaps, activate levers and interact with a world of LEGO objects and puzzles. Unlock more than 60 playable characters, each with unique abilities. And team up with a friend to battle enemies and seek out the world's greatest treasures. Create unique playable characters like Sallah Scott or Mola Round by mixing and matching the LEGO body parts of all playable characters. Cooperative gameplay encourages parents to share the legacy of Indiana Jones with their children in a fun and humorous way. | ||

This first game in a subseries of Sims game that were mostly on Wii. This was the only one to appear on PC. Unlike any previous version, it has been redesigned for the console with an entirely different look. Both the characters and the environment are more anime-like and resemble the Mii characters for the system. The game puts players in charge of reinvigorating a town that has been struggling lately. Through ingenuity and creativity, players can make the run-down town thrive again. Improving the town attracts new residents, like Roxie Road, who runs the Ice Cream Shop, or Vic Vector, the rad arcade dude. The new residents still need more than a house to feel at home. Build them what they need so that their place can come to life. The game offers a large amount of customizing, including houses and furniture. In return, the player receives new outfits and special items. Certain options are also acquired through essences, granted by helping the characters or simply locating them in the village. Unlike the other games in the series, the Sims have no needs and the houses are built using blueprints with building blocks, rather than through a catalog. There are over 80 NPCs to meet, with whom the player can build up relationships. | ||

Also known as Nikita: Wild Cars, this is a kart-racing game that's a spin-off of Nikita The Mystery of the Hidden Treasure 3D adventure-game. Unlike the original Nikita game, which was a spiritual successor to well-known 2D platformer Captain Claw (1997), Speedy Pirates barely received any marketing from its publisher and attention from video game critics and gamers alike. Because of that, the only information about the game which has any actual description is on the official website of the developer in the list of "other games". Nikita as you have never seen her before – she is still looking for the treasure map but in a way somewhat unusual for a pirate. There are plenty of new experiences and challenges for the young players to enjoy. Take part in various game modes. Choose from tournaments, races against the clock, coin collecting and checkpoint races. Race through dynamic tracks in castles, on beaches and among the palm trees. Visit tropical islands and plunge into amazing adventures. Use the fruit bombs to stop anyone trying to be faster than you are. The pirates leave the sea behind and take part in the grand car race for the treasure. | ||

Around 1999, work on a sequel to Captain Claw called "Captain Claw 2 in 3D" was in development by Monolith. However, due to copyright issues with the character Captain Claw, Monolith dropped the project, and passed all codes and assets on the unreleased sequel to a Poland game developer called Techland. Techland subsequently used all the unfinished assets in the Captain Claw 3D prototype, polished the engine and released the game under their own character titled Nikita. The story is about a female feline pirate called Nikita, and essentially carried similar plot from the original Captain Claw game, but now set in a 3D environment with new character lead instead, lending no continuation whatsoever to the original Captain Claw. Captain Dodger has a plan to combine all the pirates and take over all the seas. To implement his evil plan, it is necessary to find long-lost treasures of the Machupaka tribe. Help Nikita to stop his plan. It has 11 levels with enemies each with their own unique fighting style. | ||

| Noitu Love 2: Devolution | Konjak | [top] | |

|
|
The sequel to Noitu Love takes place one hundred years after the events of the first game where Noitu Love dealt with the madman Darnacus Damnation and his army of Grinning Darns in an attempt to turn all people to monkeys through technology called Evomatics. After his defeat, the body of Darnacus was never found and Doppelori, a cyborg clone of Lori, Noitu Love's helper, was kept imprisoned. The sequel stars Xoda Rap (Paradox spelled backwards) as the protagonist. She receives a call about an army of grinning robots threatening Omicron City. Just like the first game, this is a fast side-scrolling game. Players guide Xoda Rap to find the evil mastermind behind the attack. The main character can no longer transform into different shapes through the Evomatics device. Instead, a mouse-based targeting system is introduced. Xoda is controlled through keyboard keys while the mouse is used to guide a cursor for aiming and shooting. There are basic punches, air attacks, wall jumps and temporary shields. Special moves include an upwards wheel attack and powerful dives to the sides of the screen. Xoda can also grab enemies in the air and use a charged attack. Matching the game's speed, Xoda can build up combos by attacking multiple enemies at once, as long as she does not touch the ground. While playing, Xoda receives information from Dr. Almond through an intercom, much like Lori in the first game. Each level comes with different bosses that require a strategic approach. Certain areas also have Xoda fly a floating device. Health can be replenished and expanded through power-ups.

| Pixie Hollow | Disney Interactive Media Group / The Walt Disney Company | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This was an MMO (massively multiplayer online) game from Disney Online (PixieHollow.com). Players could create a Fairy or Sparrow Man character and play as him or her and participate in events, complete quests, shop, dress up, collect ingredients, play mini-games, earn talent points, choose an animal friend, chat, host a party, earn badges, and more. You could create up to three fairies or sparrow men. There is a minimal amount of hairstyles that you can start with, but you can get more later as you collect ingredients. You can also choose one of these talents for your fairy or sparrow man: Tinker, Water, Garden, Light, and Animal. The creation process has drastically changed over the years, and some of the changes are frowned upon, such as the option to make a custom outfit at your arrival being taken away and the hairstyle limit. The game was centered around your pixie gaining Talent Points to achieve a higher Talent Level. A key factor in achieving this goal was Quests. These would often be given to you by your Mentor Fairy, as well as the other Famous Fairies around the Hollow. There are mini-games scattered all around Pixie Hollow's meadows, referred to as "Talent Games." Playing these games would help increase a players Talent Level. While all players could play levels Easy, Medium, Hard, and Royal, a membership was required to "Play All" (playing all the levels in chronological order). There were also multiplayer games that can be played at parties (exception of Animal Derby) and ingredient rewards that change each season. Events were where players of Pixies Hollow could celebrate mainland-like holidays with their friends. Some events also featured special collections for purchase released in shops, free special items, and seasonal badges. Since the locks of membership/diamonds have raised, events have become less useful to people who do not pay a membership. For example, free players could not visit the ballroom, therefore could not get the special gift that is granted inside. Free players also have locks on most badges, such as member only quests. Clickables were toys players could buy that would be able to interact with the game. These came in the forms of Disney Fairies themed charms, bracelets, and games. By linking your Clickable with your account, your in-game Pixie would be able to get: Temporary Butterflies; Exclusive clothing; House décor; Accessories. Meadows were places you could fly with your fairy in, gather, complete quests, and access shops or games. Shops were where you could buy items for your fairy, specifically in a collection. Nooks/Kitchens were crafting areas where you could bake/tailor/tinker items to practice or get for your fairy. The game was shut down on September 19th, 2013. | ||

A deadly symbiote invasion brings total devastation to the streets of New York City in the next Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, where players have ultimate control over the city's salvation and Spider-Man's destiny. Set in an apocalyptic New York City, it gives players an unprecedented level of gameplay choices, including, for the first time, control over the game's direction and outcome. The all new combat system allows for truly three dimensional battles that start in the streets, continue up sides of buildings and finish on rooftops. Gamers can instantly switch between the agile red suit and formidable black suit, choose to ally with Marvel's honored heroes or ferocious villains, pick which of Spider-Man's abilities to upgrade, and decide which missions to undertake in order to protect Manhattan from certain destruction. Increased city interactivity and destructibility allow the player to pick up and use anything in their way as a weapon, destroy store fronts, demolish vehicles, and virtually obliterate city streets with powerful attacks. Next-generation technology brings New York to life with realistic textures and animations, as well as an all-new context-sensitive camera system allowing the player to take on enemies and change directions faster than ever before, while adding a new dimension of intelligence and polish to Spider-Man's actions in the air and on the ground. With some of the greatest heroes and most notorious villains in the Marvel Universe, including staples such as Luke Cage and Vulture, players' choices control who will ultimately aid them in the fight to rid New York of the alien symbiote. These choices have consequences, as behaving like a hero or like a vigilante will ultimately lead to separate destinies. | ||

This unofficial fan game, meaning The Fierce Fighting of Haruhi Suzumiya, revolves around characters from the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya fighting each other Dynasty Warriors/Power Stone/Super Smash Bros like fighting game style. Kadokawa ordered it shut down due to copyright infringement. Fighting game based on Haruhi Suzumiya. It's actually an upgraded version of the previous Chourantou version. You can move freely around the stages, although fall off and you'll take damage and be bounced back on. Each fight can have up to 6 characters split into two teams, but there is no restriction on the ratio, so you can have normal 3 vs 3 or harder ones like 1 vs 5. All the SOS brigade are available, along with Asakura and Kyon's sister. Konata and Akira from Lucky Star also feature as unlockable characters. Many of their abilities stem from their source, especially with their supers. Characters can also be equipped with items (hats, masks and other accessory) that can provide bonuses like increased movement speed, generating SP automatically or extra dashes. You have to equip them to characters individually through the config option though and unlock them through mission mode. Stages are usually littered with items and chests. Chests can contain useful powerups but many are traps as well. Items can range from baseball bats to a megaphone that attacks with a block of text. Each character also has a SP gauge (shown with a %). Special attacks use up SP but can be used even when at zero. Super specials always require 50% SP to activate but will hit hard. Each character has three normal specials (standing, dashing and jumping) and two supers, which cover the normal super and the cosplay super (picking up a white orb gives a SP boost and activates the cosplay for a set period). Various game modes are on offer, like story, free battle and mission. | ||

Tinker is a puzzle-game where the player has to guide a small robot safely to the level exit. In-between are many obstacles and mazes to overcome. To make the task even more difficult, the robot has only a limited amount of energy available to him. Each move and each turn requires 1 energy. Some levels contain a battery for recharging. If the reserves are empty, the robot dies. Lasers and falls from more than one floor are also a cause of death for the little bugger. To overcome the different kinds of obstacles, the player controls the robot himself from a isometric perspective and has him moving different kinds of blocks like ice blocks, that melt if shot with laser around, activate/deactivate switches and buttons and by doing so control bombs, lasers and magnets to create a clear and safe way to the exit. Elevators, conveyor belts and elevators further increase the complexity of the riddles. Although getting to the exit will be enough to finish a level, three bonus objectives are available to increase the re-playability value as well as for unlocking achievements. To get the most out of a level, the player needs to be as fast as possible, have a certain amount of energy left at the end of the stage and have collected all the cog wheels in the level. It was originally released as part of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition Extras, and contained 60 levels including a 20-level tutorial. A free map editor (level builder) was also released but it is not compatible with the later Games for Windows – Live expanded 2009 version with 160 levels including the tutorial. This version also has 15 Achievements worth 200G, similar to many Xbox Live Arcade games. | ||

The sequel to Turtix is based on the same concept as the original game. During a class, the teacher misreads a recipe and all the students are whisked away in bubbles. Turtix once again needs to save all of them and bring them back safely. It's a side-scrolling game where Turtix explores game worlds to locate the trapped students and needs to bring them back. There are three distinct settings: Magic Forest, Underground Caves and Barren Desert with 60 levels in total. The game can be played in two modes: Casual and Hardcore. In Hardcore levels need to be replayed if these are not successfully completed. Turtix can move around, jump, climb ladders, hang from vines and push crates. Enemies are taken out by jumping on top of them but some have spikes and need timing to take them out. Once a student inside a bubble has been located, Turtix can jump on to pop it. The students will then search their way to the exit and the player can exercise no influence over their movement. Instead, Turtix needs to push crates to block spikes, open gates, defeat enemies, collect keys to open gates and remove barriers to create a safe path for them to follow. Levels do not require players to safe all students, but still most of them. Before popping the bubble, a halo will show if there is a safe passage (green), if there are enemies that will block the path (yellow) or when there are obstacles that will cause the students to die (red). Turtix has a limited amount of health but this can be expanded by looking for magic symbols in treasure chests. Additionally each level holds secret areas with diamonds for extra points. The game keeps track of the player's best time per level and the different game elements are gently introduced through the levels with an increasing difficulty level. After ten levels there is a time bonus game where Turtix needs to collect a number of stars to earn a prize. | ||

This is an excellent platformer akin to the old Castlevania formula but with less rpg elements and more action. It has improved controls, decent graphics and a catchy soundtrack. You start the monster hunt unarmed, but new weapons such as axes, knives, whips, crossbows and even guns can be acquired by destroying the many candelabras you will find during your adventure. Press the X key to attack, or tap the C key to jump. Hold the Z key to sidestep or block enemy attacks with your weapon. The left shift key can be used to pause the game at any time. Progress is saved automatically after the completion of each level, and players can continue their journey by using the resume option in the main menu. The Japanese language pack has to be installed to play, and the game will only run on displays configured with 16-bit color quality instead of the standard 32-bit. When starting Vampire Blaze, select the second option in the dialogue box for windowed mode. | ||

Verge is the winning entry of the TIGSource Commonplace Book which was for games based on H.P. Lovecraft's work. It is a platformer with a major focus on puzzle elements and offers nine levels for a character to explore. Classic elements include jumping to avoid spikes and on top of enemies to take them out. The game innovates through the way it handle death. When the character jumps on top of spikes, he is transported to a darker, mirror plane where the view and the controls are reversed. The only way to really die is through the enemies. The second plane, a game mechanic already explored in Man Boy vs Doctor Sock and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, is needed to solve puzzles. These usually involve traversing past impossible platforms. In the underworld there are enemies that need to be shaken off and portals take the character back up. On the regular plane, there are buttons that need to be pushed and blocks that need to be moved in a correct position. In later levels the two planes collide and the character will use it to launch himself between the two worlds at a high speed. | ||

Armageddon is drawing near and the world as we know it is going to end. It is up to the player to collect as many items as possible before it all vanishes. This game is best described as an adaptation of the Katamari concept. Players explore 3D worlds to collect and absorbs items, which then orbit the main character and make it grow, allowing larger items to be grabbed. This game contains worlds with a typical Katamari look as well as high-tech sci-fi environments. There are twelve worlds in total and all with an entirely different theme. The game can be controlled through the keyboard or the mouse and there are three game modes per world (not all available right away): timed, timeless and exploration. The game keeps track of the best times and scores, contains a tutorial and achievements are collected in a separate trophy box. | ||

| World of Goo | 2D Boy | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
World of Goo is a physics-based puzzle game where players need to build constructions using balls of goo. The original concept is based on the prototype Tower of Goo Unlimited! by Kyle Gabler, one of the developers of this game, created for the Experimental Gameplay Project website. Rather than a series of puzzles, the game presents the balls of goo as living creatures in a universe they set to explore. They need to find out about the power source of the world they live in and the true meaning behind the Goo Corporation. In most of the levels, the constructions need to reach a pipe that sucks the goo balls out of the level. To succeed, players need to bring over a certain amount of balls or do it within a limited amount of time. There are also OCDs (Obsessive Completion Distinction) where players can aim for secondary, much more difficult goals. Each level brings entirely new challenges, based on gameplay, environment elements, art style and types of goo balls. Regular balls can be dragged and dropped with the mouse or wii remote to form cohesive connections, but only for a short distance. Because of the physics and the wobbly matter, a solid basis is required. Balls can be picked up and moved around to adapt the constructions. While buildings sometimes timebugs will appear. When clicked, they allow the player to go back in time for one move. The types of goo differ greatly in abilities, connections and response to physics. Some of the goo balls introduced gradually are ivy goo (attach and detach at will), albino goo (four connections), balloon goo (fly upwards), water goo, pokey goo, fuse goo, bone goo, and much more. In some levels, sleeping balls can be woken up to join the construction. Constructions not only bend, but can also be broken when gravity gets the upper hand. In later chapters, players acquire a whistle that can be used to lure all loose goo balls in a certain direction. More of the world is revealed through cut-scenes and sequences during gameplay, always with a humourous nod. There are five main chapters with different levels that follow chronologically for one year in the world of goo. The environment is changed to reflect the season. Often, players will save more balls of goo than required. These are stored in the World of Goo Corporation, a separate level reminiscent of the original prototype the game is based on. There, players can use extra goo balls to build a construction as high as possible. With an online connection, it is possible to view the height of other players. In-game hints are provided through signs that can be clicked and contribute to the story. The PC port is single-player only but features online leaderboards where players can compare their scores to one another. | ||

| Yo, Frankie! | Blender Institute | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is an open source 3D platformer computer game by the Blender Institute, part of the Blender Foundation, based on the universe and characters of the open source film produced earlier in 2008 by the Blender Institute, Big Buck Bunny. As with the open movie projects, the game was partly designed to promote the open source 3D modelling tool Blender. To this end, the modeling, animation and level design are being done in Blender. You can make and share your own levels and characters. The game itself is rendered with the Crystal Space 3D engine, using Python as a scripting language. There are 2 versions of the game in the DVD, one for the Blender Game Engine, and a version for Crystal Space. Though the assets for making the levels and the characters are shared, the gameplay differs between versions. In the game, players assume the role of Frank, the sugar glider who was the antagonist of the film Big Buck Bunny. In the film, Frank and two cronies are seen killing butterflies and terrorizing a bunny. The film ends with the bunny exacting revenge on Frank, tying him to string and flying him as a kite. The Blender Game Engine version of the game is titled "A Furry Vendetta", while the Crystal Space is "Furry Funny Frankie", with subsequent episodes expected. You play with Frankie, an angry looking squirrel, and have a pretty rough time in the wonderful surroundings. All the animals attack you, and hot pools of magma aren't very unusual. You can defend yourself by using your tail, or by throwing nuts (though the latter one will prove harder than expected). | ||

The American Girl doll adaptations continue with ten-year-old Mia St. Clair who wants to prove that her skating skills are second to none. Raised in a family of hockey-loving boys, Mia decides to embark on a figure skating career that will involve conversing with characters, practicing routines, and making various decisions on and off the ice. Players must help Mia decide on an outfit, choreograph a skating program, and select the right music for each performance. A built-in program builder will help aspiring skaters create practice routines, which are followed by tapping the keyboard's directional arrows in time to the music. Two specific skating challenges are included in the game: the Lucerne's Winter Show and the Regionals. Players will explore Mia's small town from a three-quarter view above the snow-covered ground. The interface involves clicking on various locations for Mia to follow or enter. Walking into buildings such as the local library, pizza parlor, skate shop, garage, and Mia's house automatically switches the perspective to a close-up view of a particular room. Players can then interact with objects to include them in Mia's backpack inventory. Key events are automatically recorded in Mia's diary, where she will keep a record of photos, things to do, locker combinations, and other important information. Many of the local townsfolk need help completing tasks, such as acquiring a torque wrench to fix a malfunctioning Zamboni. Solving these puzzles lets Mia move one step closer to achieving her goals. | ||

Cosmic Osmo is a point-and-click graphical adventure game for kids made by Cyan which would later make the hugely successful Myst series.

Shikkoku no Sharnoth is Liar-soft's 24th game, the game is described as a "steampunk horror ADV. Shikkoku no Sharnoth is set in 1905 and takes place in London. The player assumes the role of Mary Clarissa Christie. Mary has heterochromia eyes, her right eye is gold while her left eye is blue. Shikkoku no Sharnoth's has two modes of gameplay. The first mode, like other visual novels, requires little interaction from the player as much of the player's time is spent reading the text that appears on the game's screen which represents the protagonist's thoughts or the dialogue between the different characters. The second mode occurs twice every chapter. In this mode, the player is presented with an isometric view of the protagonist and her surroundings and is tasked with guiding the protagonist to certain spots in the map while avoiding the monsters in the area in a turn-based system. This secondary gameplay feature is rather unique to Shikkoku no Sharnoth as the player's interaction with a visual novel is usually isolated to the graphics and audio. In 2011, a Fullvoice ReBORN Edition was released with full voice, additional CGs, and the option to skip the minigame on first playthrough. | ||

Lazlocke is a wizard belonging to the Wizard's society, the organization that manages the affairs between wizards. One day while he was going home he stumbled upon a girl being bullied by magic students. He decided to intervene but before he manages to do so, the other party lost interest and left. He then went to the now alone girl and apologized on their behalf as a wizard. The girl asked if he's a wizard and implored him to teach her magic. Naturally he refused and told her to go enroll to the magic academy. She told him that she was a student there but was expelled due to a lack of magic potential. Since magic potential is innate and can't be changed he told her to give it up and went back on his way home. While thinking during his way home, he realized that girl look tattered and is standing near a Wizard's society building. Thinking that the girl must have been standing there for days in order to find a mentor, he decided to go back to her. Seeing the girl still on the same place, he asked her if she really wanted to become a wizard no matter what. But before she can answer she collapsed due to exhaustion so Lazlocke took her home. He nursed her back to health and completely recovered several days later. He then asked her to explain her situation. Her name is Celestine Rococo, her father is the head of the Rococo family, a prestigious magic family. One day his apprentice killed him and took over as the head. In order to avenge her father and take her rightful position as the family head, she vowed to become a wizard and enrolled at the magic academy. Unfortunately she had no magic potential and the academy kicked her out after not showing progress for 3 months. Pitiful of her plight, Lazlocke asked the society to look in her situation.

This is a game that mixes the gameplay of a city builder and of an action role-playing game (RPG). The king of a fantasy kingdom sends the player out on a mission to tame a wild territory of his realm. The player starts with an unoccupied town with but a single building. The realm map contains 20-50 randomly-generated areas, occupied by a group of enemies and some with its own resource. The objective of the game is to conquer all of these areas. For each area, the player may be granted a reward in addition to fame, ranging from a treasure chest to resource access. City Building - Starting out with only an outpost, to survive future famine and hostile raiders, the player must develop the town by recruiting visitors, which arrive at the town from time to time and will stay in town for a few days and then leave or be told to leave by the player. These visitors have different professions such as farmers, guards, merchants, etc. Each profession has an associated skill which may provide useful to the player: Farmers, trappers, and herders provide food; Bards increase town quality; Innkeepers provide money and more visitors, etc. Role-Playing - The player start out by selecting a character background (character class). There are 18 different classes to choose from, each with a description of their unique strengths and weaknesses, male or female genders, with a certain number of gender-specific portraits. At any time, the player may choose to leave the town and go out in the wilderness for some adventure, either alone or in company of followers (recruited visitors). The player's party may consist of up to four people including the player, each able to equip a maximum of four items consisting of a main weapon, an off-hand weapon (for two-handed weapons) or shield, armor, and an accessory. In each area of the wilderness, the player will encounter of enemies of different sorts, from animals to humanoids. Battles occur in a genre typical hack 'n slash way, where the player simply clicks on the enemy to attack until defeated. When player's character (and followers) defeat a monster, the player will obtain fame and sometimes loot (good, items, or food) from the fallen bodies. The total number of enemies in any specific area is made available to the player. When all enemies in an area is defeated, the player obtains additional fame and if that area has a resource, the town will have access to that resource (e.g. iron, herbs, etc.). Character development introduces three skills that may be increased: attack, defense, and health. Attack is increase by successful hits on the enemy, defense and health is increased by being hit by the enemy. The player and followers level up after reaching a combined amount of skill increases, allowing the character to level up. When reaching a new level, the player's character can increase one skill and choose a new special trait. Winning and Losing - The game is won if the player defeats all enemies in the surrounding areas. The game is lost if the player dies of starvation, acquires a negative fame score while failing to increase it in a certain amount of days (prompting the king to fire the player), or in hardcore-difficulty only, death in combat. In June 2009, an update introduced the new orc race as well as two new orc classes: the Orc Lord and the Orc Shaman. Orcs gain experience in combat faster, grow food normally, loot food from enemies, but eat twice as much as other races. The Orc Shaman differs from other magic-based classes, as it is the only class that may summon creatures by using animal parts. Both classes attract other orcs as followers. No non-orcs are available for recruitment. | ||

A three-chapter first person RPG that chronicles the adventures of the young apprentice sorceress Arle Nadja with all three chapters made as independent games but released under a single package. The first game starts as the little Arle attempts to graduate from her magic school by conquering the evil Satan tower. The second game jumps forward in time to a 16-year old Arle, now an accomplished magician, who must escape a dungeon and defeat those that imprisoned her. The third and final game in the package faces Arle off against an evil sorceress that aims to avenge the deeds Arle did on Satan tower back in the first game. She must now escape a dungeon and defeat the evil minotaur that has been sent to destroy her. All three games share the same engine and gameplay mechanics, playing as first-person RPGs in which your main view is composed of a 2.5D view of the dungeons you are trapped in, and the rest of the interface is used to give graphic feedback to the player instead of relying on stats and numbers (for instance, a picture of Arle serves as the means of telling how damaged she is, and a group of gems that encircle the screen show how closer you are to advancing a level). Combat is turn-based and involves selecting and casting spells to obliterate the many baddies in the dungeon. There's also a fair amount of puzzle solving and plenty of NPCs to run across in each dungeon, all being characters from the Puyo Puyo series. | ||

This is an open-ended, nonlinear game focused on realistic medieval warfare that combines deep RPG elements with strategy management, exploration of the game world, and full real-time combat. It solely offers singleplayer and the player only directly controls a single character, co-operating or fighting against AI-controlled NPCs. From a large 3d overhead map the player is free to visit any part of the game world in semi-turn-based fashion, attacking or protecting caravans, visiting castles, raiding towns or taking part in sieges (technically up to 1,000 units on the battlefield). It is also possible to capture opponents, keep them as prisoners and eventually sell them as slaves. Players can wander through towns and talk to the inhabitants about current events, to get quests, trade, buy or sell new items, or recruit new troops. There is a thriving, dynamic economy based on supply and demand and large factions that will often exercise influence over each other. Because of the free-form sandbox-like gameplay, no new game is ever the same, similar to Elite or Darklands, and the game world evolves with or without the player's influence. It is possible to start a conversation with almost any character in the game, and their reactions varies based on your reputation, status and loyalty. Players can engage in combat similar to a 3d action game, where the mouse is used with dynamic movement to attack and defend with shields, bow and arrow and swords. The player needs to use the terrain and his AI forces (indirectly) to strategically engage the enemy, also often by mounting a horse and using the advantages in speed, height and the environment in a realistic manner. There are many weapons to wield, including lances, double-handed axes, swords and more. Attacking does not consist of point-and-click, but demands much input from the player. Both offensive and defensive moves are entirely directional and are executed based on timing, leading to realistic fights. Attacks do not only take places in the open, but small villages can be looted or burned (angering farmers) or a castle can be taken on in a full siege. While fighting, the attack and defence parameters are shown in RPG fashion and are calculated based on the setting, characteristics and the different levels and skills. While playing experience is earned to improve characteristics such as basic attributes (strength, agility, intelligence or charisma), a large amount of basic skills (both personal and relating to the party) and certain proficiencies. These can be individually determined for each of the party members. There are also unusual skills such as tracking, spotting, prisoner management and surgery. Furthermore the skill tree is multi-tiered, where higher skills effect lower ones, rule them out based on certain choices, or enhance them. The title is mod-friendly with a large amount of user-created content and scenarios. | ||

This is an rpg originally released in French, it has since received an English translation in 2012. The player enters their name and are informed that they are now in control of "The Batter," a quiet man in a baseball uniform and the game's main character. Fairly simple, huh? Well, it gets weirder. The game takes place in a world nothing like what you know. The Batter encounters, only a few moments after you gained control, a white, wise and snarky cat with a Cheshire Cat Grin that calls himself "The Judge." The people in this world - referred to by fans as Elsens, though otherwise normal human men - are practically all Inexplicably Identical Individuals other than the items merchant Zacharie, who has perfected Breaking the Fourth Wall (not that the other characters are any better; the player is repeatedly addressed personally). Strange creatures called Spectres are terrorizing everything in sight and mighty Guardians rule over the lands of the world, called Zones. The Batter's mission is to "purify the world" from these Spectres, and you have to help him with it. The game's become reputable on Tumblr, being the sixth most reblogged game of 2013 (in comparison, every other game on the list are big name titles). | ||

| Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episodes 1-2 | Hothead Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Based on the webcomic Penny Arcade, this is a 3D action-adventure game that will be distributed episodically several times a year via download. Set in 1922 in a pulp horror storyline, players create their protagonist who gets swept up in a world of mystery and adventure when a large robot destroys the main character's house during a leaf raking session. Determined to get to the bottom of what happened (and finding a new place to live in the process), the player runs into the Startling Developments Detective agency, run by Gabe and Tycho. Along the way, the team will encounter a series of characters from the web comic, fighting zombies, homeless people, mimes and Fruit Fuckers in an attempt to solve this bizarre series of events. They can fight with attacks including punching, kicking, and tommy-guns. The game uses cel-shaded graphics. It mixes 3D gameplay with 2D interstials and cinematics. The gameplay consists mostly of seek-and-find puzzles, reminiscent of adventure games, where the player must collect items and return them to a character to advance the plot. They can also collect spare robot parts to upgrade their weapons. Battles consist of a real time combat system similar to the ATB system of Final Fantasy Games, with context sensitive button presses reducing damage or being used to carry out special attacks. Players will also be able to summon other characters for combat help, and level up new abilities as the story progresses. Story elements are conveyed in a comic strip style. During conversation, players engage in a multiple selection story tree in an attempt to gain support or information, or simply just harass and insult characters in typical "Penny Arcade" fashion. Episode 1 came out in May/2008 while Episode 2 Nov/2008 has new difficulty settings, and more puzzles, areas to explore and levels to gain. | ||

This is an MMO set in the Caribbean sea in the 1700's. You can choose to fight against the pirates on the side of England, France, or Spain or choose to be one of those blasted pirates who are smuggling, raiding and looting. You can choose your own adventure. Be it naval combat in real time working together with friends, savage swashbuckling as never before seen in an MMO, PvP-conquerable world trying to overtake various ports and the three major world powers (France, Britain and Spain), or sophisticated missions where you have a starring role in your own unique story. It also has avatars that allow you to be unique. You can choose your hair, face, footwear, hands, coat, hat, belt, jewelry, and many others distinguishable looks such as peg legs and hook hands. Whether your interest is in Ship Combat, Piracy, commercial trading, or adventure, you have a role to play, and all your adventures take place in a dramatic world of conflict and change. A dynamic commodities market provides opportunity for clever Traders to turn coin, Navy missions throw you into the thick of Combat, and Pirates have ample targets for Plunder. Our strategic gameplay keeps the world in flux, offering ample opportunities for both PvE Missions and PvP battles & ambushes to affect the ongoing struggle. The Caribbean of 1720 is a world at war, and all players can take part on their own terms. Whether you want to join a major Port Conquest battle, pursue Smuggling Missions to help your side in secret, or organize your guildmates to bolster a port's defenses in the face of enemy plotting, you can be sure your efforts are meaningful and the stakes are very real. | ||

| Planet Alcatraz 2 | 1C Company | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
After Boar and his friends completed their mission, locating and stopping the prisoners who were trying to escape from Planet Alcatraz, few people doubted that Sergeant Hartman, one of the special agents who got lost during the initial infiltration, was dead. However, in reality Hartman was captured by a gang of criminals known as "Policemen", and brought to their outpost in the northern part of the planet. Now this trained military man must find a way to escape from their clutches and gain back his freedom. This sequel to Planet Alcatraz despite being a standalone game, it is highly similar to its predecessor, to the point of resembling an add-on. With the exception of one location, all explorable areas are the same as in the first game. The gameplay is nearly identical as well: visually resembling Neverwinter Nights 2, this role-playing game utilizes a Fallout-like skill system and overworld traveling, while opting for real-time-with-pause combat. The player starts with Hartman alone, but three other characters can join him over the course of the game. Differences include slightly improved graphics, tweaks applied to combat engine (e.g. player-controlled characters can now turn around and pick up dropped weapons automatically), random mobile encounters on the world map instead of pre-set ambushes, and a default mode that eliminates character creation, manual character-building, friendly fire, and a few other features. The player, however, can opt to switch to the more advanced mode when the game starts. | ||

With deep exploration and epic quests, players will take the role of Jason, King of Iolchis, and battle alongside iconic mythological heroes including Hercules, Achilles, Atalanta and others. As Jason grows from young king to true legend, set sail aboard the Argo and explore the vast Aegean – a dynamic world of islands filled with shining cities, lush jungles and deep forests. Gamers will leave their mark on ancient Greece as they engage in heart-pumping, lethal, blood-spurting combat against hordes of enemy warriors, ruthless beasts and truly formidable mythological creatures. Whether Jason is lopping off heads or cutting warriors in half with his sword or if Hercules is wrestling with giant beasts, the intense action in Rise of the Argonauts will leave players wanting for their next confrontation. Like all true heroes of Greece, the gods follow Jason on his quests. Jason will gain the favour of the gods and earn special abilities, but his actions may please some gods and displease others. Earning a god's favour will grant players powers within the god's domain, but drawing a god's wrath may cause them to inflict a torment on the heroes at the worst possible moment. | ||

This brings gamers more open-ended role-playing action in this sequel to the 2004 release Sacred. The game takes place 2,000 years before Shaddar summoned the Sakkara-Demon. Set in Ancaria which is at the brink of another war, the player's goal is to prevent this war. However, it's entirely up to the player if the Light or the Chaos will prevail in the end. It moves the gameplay perspective to true 3D, rather than the Diablo-esque isometric viewpoint of the original, but players have the same freedom to choose from six playable characters and wander the landscape as they please, undertaking quests and cleansing dungeons of enemies and beasts. Gamers can also gather a wide assortment of unique items, travel, and battle on the backs of mounts such as horses, tigers, and hellhounds, and level-up their character's attributes and fighting styles. Players can choose to battle on the "Light" side or the "Shadow" side, with both choices resulting in a unique set of skills, rewards, and story elements. Sacred 2 also features five different multiplayer modes, including co-op, PvP, and PvE options, and drop-in gameplay allows for seamless transitions between single- and multiplayer modes via a LAN or Internet connection. This game is only 32bit compatible while the Collector's Edition has a third DVD called the Elite GFX Disc with ultra-high resolution textures comparable with the X360 release. | ||

You'll use the classic maneuvers such as defense, attack and special attack. Enemies are all around you and you have to deal with them, otherwise they will not go away. Gradually creatures will threaten such as skeletons, mummies, dark knights and magicians also who fling fireballs. You have to keep an eye on the health, accumulate mana, and here and there you come across bonuses. Perhaps if you help an animal, it will help to kill the skeleton.

| Silverfall: Earth Awakening | Kyiv's Games / Monte Cristo Multimedia | [top] | |

Silverfall: Earth Awakening is an stand alone add-on to Silverfall. Several years have passed since the end of Silverfall. After you had saved the land and the city, the inhabitants made you the the king of Nelwie and under your rule the country flourished and lived in peace. But there's of course an evil power lurking in the shadows that doesn't want you to live the rest of your live in peace and the balance of the world is once again threatened when meteors rain from the sky and the bodies of water turn into holes full of ooze. So once again it is up to you to save the world. Although you don't need the main game to play the add-on, it is still recommended since the game puts you right into the middle of the action without explaining what has transpired before. And the add-on also requires an existing character of level 45 which can be either imported from the main game or generated at the beginning. One reason to do so could be to try out the two new races Dwarf and Saurian. While the Dwarven are very resistant against spells and injuries, the Saurians are very agile and excel at archery. While the core hack 'n' slay-gameplay remains the same, your hero is now controlled with the keyboard and the interface now supports drag & drop. This gives you the freedom to customize it much like World of Warcraft or any other modern MMORPG. The add-on also adds the mandatory new items to the game as well as 150 new spells and combat techniques and 30 new skills. | ||

This is a fangame of the Japanese-only SNES RPG Live-A-Live with Touhou characters, made in RPG Maker 2003. However there are many other alterations, namely in the attacks characters have. Some chapters are similar to the original with minor changes, but some have received major changes to the main story and is distinct enough from Live A Live. Various characters from the original game also make cameos, such as the nameless challenger from the Wrestling ending instead being Masaru himself and the space mini-game now starring Cube in a series of block puzzles. | ||

Men, elves, and dwarfs unite to battle against the dark forces of destruction in this first persistent world role-playing game based on the Warhammer fantasy universe. One of the title's distinguishing features is its realm versus realm combat, where faction members engage rival armies to conquer control points, keeps, and even capital cities. Your side's performance in these battles will determine the prosperity of your realm, influencing the types of items, dungeons, and quests available. While player versus player combat is Age of Reckoning's primary focus, more traditional means of earning experience and leveling up are also available. This includes an assortment of solo and public quests, with the latter offering cooperative play in a series or chain of events. Six playable races are divided evenly across the game's two opposing factions: the Realm of Order and the Realm of Destruction. Realm of Order lets you create a dwarf, high elf, or human, while Realm of Destruction is comprised of greenskin, dark elf, and human races. Each race offers three to four careers, the game's equivalent of classes, which vary based on gender and faction. As you battle creatures and players, you will gradually fill a "Tome of Knowledge" and unlock new abilities, rewards, storylines, and other surprises. All of your in-game accomplishments will also be documented for posterity, allowing you to bask in the glory of your heroic exploits with friends and fellow guild members. The game shut down on December 18th 2013. | ||

This version required a $1 million investment and includes a mod editor called D'jinni that allows players to create or modify their own adventures in the world of The Witcher, as well as two completely new adventures created by CD Projekt RED. The first adventure, entitled "The Price of Neutrality," tells the story of Geralt coming back to Kaer Morhen and finding a mysterious camp near the stronghold (3 new quests), while the second one focuses on Geralt's close friend, Dandelion, and his troubles in Vizima City (5 quests). They've managed to cut load times down 80% since the day the original game shipped. Upon community complaints regarding the static nature of characters during conversations, the team went back to the motion capture studio and created 200 brand-new animations for the game. Further enhancements include a new dynamic NPC generation system that randomly generates NPC and monster skin colors and combinations to give the game a bit more variety, ctrl-click auto looting, as well has some changes to the inventory system to make alchemy much less of a pain in the ass. The North American Director's Cut was censored but there's a free uncensored patch available for it. The Platinum Edition contains: The Witcher Game DVD with no DRM (Enhanced Edition, v1.5 patch integrated), Bonus Disc (Soundtrack and "inspired by" album, Map, Artbook, Game Mod "Flash Mod", Bonus music by James Semple, Soundtrack from "Merry Witchmas", Walkthroughs for "Merry Witchmas" and "The Wedding", Bonus avatars), game manual, game guide, 5 additional adventures: Blight of the Bogs, Deceits, Wraiths of Quiet Hamlet, The Wedding, Merry Witchmas. | ||

This freeware alternative to RPG Maker never got much attention due to the lack of an English version. A proper translation project only started in 2015. It's a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) software. It's a game construction tool that can create complex role playing games. It is often regarded as being aimed at advanced users, so keep this in mind if you intend to use it. It's been used to create games such as Mad Father, Misao, The Crooked Man, Paranoiac, and One Way Heroics. | ||

Zwei II is an action role-playing game and a sequel to Zwei!!. Though the game has a different character cast, it is set in the same world and shares many gameplay features. Among those is the ability to control two protagonists. The player automatically switches between Ragna and Alwen if he or she opts to attack physically or cast a magic spell, respectively.

| Etch A Sketch / Etch-a-Sketch: Knobby's Quest | Freeze Tag Inc., GameShastra Solutions Pvt Ltd | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a platform game based on the classic drawing toy. The player must help Knobby, one of the drawing knobs of the apparatus, to cross safely levels full of obstacles and perils. Using the mouse, the objective is to drawn lines to protect the character from harm, and to help him transverse gaps. Sometimes puzzles have to be solved before Knobby can proceed to the exit. Lines drawn from a fire source to bombs and dangerous creatures ignite them, opening paths and destroying the enemies. In some levels, Knobby has to rescue trapped creatures, or collect an item before the exit portal starts working. Hitting the space bar or the right mouse button erases the lines and makes Knobby stop. Hitting them again makes the character resume his movement. There are three bars at the top of the screen, one for the amount of ink left (it replenishes automatically when not drawing), other for creative power and a last one for health. Each quest chapter starts with three lives, and after the last one is spent the stage is restarted from the first level. A connect-the-dots mini-game appears between the stages, where objects have to be drawn within a time limit. A breakout-style game, where drawn lines replace the pad and Knobby acts as the ball, can be played separately from the main quest game. The game also includes a fairly accurate digital simulation of the original toy that can be accessed from the main menu. The pictures created can be printed, saved, set as desktop wallpaper or e-mailed. | ||

Bonus items appear when they're needed most to help with special sections of the levels. When Jack dies with at least one life remaining, the game starts again at the beginning of a section. When all lives are lost, the entire level must be replayed. The game features 30 levels spanning seven worlds, a high score table and an original musical score. | ||

This is a 2D platformer for young players. The peaceful life of the panda family was disturbed by poachers who kidnapped small bears. Knowing the secrets of karate, the father-panda sets out to help the kidnapped offspring. The game is divided into 30 levels. During his journey, the player-controlled hero has to travel through bamboo jungle, snow-covered mountains and deep caves. As befits a platformer, individual boards abound in various types of obstacles, traps and opponents. However, the level of difficulty of the game and the control system have been adjusted to the preferences of the youngest users. | ||

| Karoshi | Jesse Venbrux / YoYo Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a series of free puzzle platformer video games made with Game Maker, in which the goal is to make the player character, a Japanese salaryman named "Mr. Karoshi", commit suicide. The word "karōshi" literally means "death by overwork" in Japanese. The real theme of this game is that suicide is never enjoyable. Karoshi has 25 levels and became more popular than expected, resulting in more versions being created. Karoshi 2.0 has 42 levels and each level has a certain twist to it, which lie somewhere outside of the platform genre. For example: some levels will require the player to use the mouse or type words into a text parser. The game always tries to trick the player into thinking that the level is impossible, where in fact, the player should find a flaw in the program's logic. Sometimes doing something completely different from what the game is telling you will yield success. It also included with the game a level editor, and a speed-run version of the original game. The speed-run challenges players to complete the game in under 7:00 minutes. There are two endings and you can see them by selecting up or down at the fork in the last stage. One is the ending ascending to the real heaven and the infinite hell ending repeating stage 1 infinitely. Karoshi Factory is a Flash game that has 25 levels not solved through unconventional means, but purely through game logic and manipulating buttons, boxes, using a gun against bumpers and more. Most levels feature two characters that the player both controls by switching the focus. In later levels, a third character appears and the puzzles generally become more complex. Next to logic, quick timing is required. Karoshi: Suicide Salaryman mixes stages along from the original Karoshi along with Karoshi 2.0 and new levels. Players need to complete fifty levels unlocked one by one, with a boss fight at the end. The aim is again to kill the main character, by falling into spikes to complex block placements, timed jumps to get hit by bullets and more out-of-the-box puzzles (especially from the second game) that rely less on the in-game mechanics. There are no AI opponents or other challenges except for finding a way to get killed. Basic controls include the arrow keys for movement (including jumping) and additional keys to shoot, reload the levels or keys that only work in specific levels. Super Karoshi is a Flash game developed by Armor Games with a total of 61 stages. In addition to the basic Karoshi interaction, Super Karoshi apears. When the main character touches the Superman mark, he turns into Superman. But no matter what you do, you cannot die. He comes back to its original state when he touches an item that makes it out of the Superman state, so it can die again. Solving puzzles made with this is mostly the latter part of the play. After clearing all 60 stages, it is only then that all stages can be played again. The interesting thing is that in addition to the 61 stages known , there are two more stages called Secret levels. No-one has ever cleared level 63 (It is probable that the developer deliberately designed it to be unbreakable). | ||

| Mighty Jill Off | Anna Anthropy | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
This is a 2D platform independently developed freeware video game designed by Anna Anthropy, with art by James Harvey and music by Andrew Toups. It stars a submissive named Jill, who has a boot fetish and is forced to climb up a tower after her Queen kicks her down it as punishment. Jill does this by jumping and slowly descending over obstacles. Jill can be defeated in one hit by these obstacles, but will return to the last check point. The game serves as an homage to the 1984 arcade game Bomb Jack and its console and computer sequel, Mighty Bomb Jack. Jill made a cameo appearance in the 2010 video game Super Meat Boy as a playable character. The game's BDSM and lesbian themes were implemented by Anthropy, a BDSM practitioner, for the purpose of providing legitimate "dykes" in video games. She also made the game difficult, to fit in with its BDSM theme. James Harvey attempted to make this game appealing for the BDSM community. Mighty Jill Off has received praise for its BDSM themes from critics of websites such as Rock, Paper, Shotgun and Game Set Watch. It was also praised for its high level of difficulty by editors of GamesRadar and Bitmob. 1UP.com included it in its list of favourite free PC games of 2009. It incorporates several BDSM themes. It stars a submissive lesbian named Jill who has a boot fetish. She is kicked to the bottom of her Queen's tower for acting like a "greedy slut". Jill attempts to climb back up the tower and return to her Queen; once there, she is given affection, constricted and gagged, and made to do it again. Players control Jill in only three ways: moving, jumping, and slowly descending. In the air, players may cause Jill to slowly descend by rapidly pushing the jump button while pointing in the direction that they want her to go. Players can switch direction while they do this. There are three types of obstacles: spikes, fire, and spiders; the latter can move to attack Jill when she comes close. Coming into contact with these obstacles kills Jill instantly, forcing her to start at the most recent checkpoint—typically located at a change in room. There is only one level in the game, but with several rooms in it. The screen scrolls vertically with Jill as she ascends up the tower. Each room transition is demonstrated by a change in the room's background colour. Jill has infinite lives, allowing players to play as long as they like without having to start the game over. It had follow-ups, such as Mighty Jill Off - Jill Off Harder Edition and Jill Off With One Hand which requires only one button to play. | ||

In this game from the makers of the Lemmings and Worms series, you play a duck and the object of the game is to get the highest score without losing all your lives. This can be achieved by getting all the fruit and gems in the level, or killing off enemies. There are 80 levels to complete and once you complete all of them, the levels are repeated. You exit each level by collecting all the gold keys then entering through the door that opens. You have a certain amount of time to complete the level before spikes fall down the level. There are eight areas, all consisting of ten levels. At the end of each area, there is a guardian waiting for you, and again, you have a certain amount of time to defeat them. You kill enemies by throwing orange-colored eggs at them, and in the earlier levels, they go down in one or two shots, but in later levels, you'll find out that all of them take more than two shots to bring down, so your orange balls would be useless here. The solution is to get a special power-up that will give you chocolate eggs. Besides gold keys, you can also collect silver keys. This lets you unlock a gate, giving you access to more shots or power-ups. There are also booby traps in the level, such as spikes, and some parts of a level are blocked off by spikes. Get a mushroom and they turn into flowers that you can pick up. Beware, getting another mushroom will make them turn into spikes again. Apart from the normal levels, there are challenges where you have to complete a level and get all the fruit as you can under a 20-second time limit. Depending on gameplay, there are also tricks where the last key you have to get flies away and you have to catch it. Other tricks include turning on the lights to see enemies, and running away from the "happy ghost". You'll receive bonus points at the end of the level if you manage to collect every gem in the level. Qwak can be played as either a one or two player game. The game was first released at budget price for the Amiga in 1993, and later on a CD double pack with Alien Breed '92. | ||

Who stole Santaman's iced muffins? Whoever it was, he left a trail of spilled muffins behind on his way to his faul hideout. This marvellous xMas puzzle platformer plays like your standard gridbased puzzle-platformer. You can walk around with the arrow keys, shoot fire-stars with ctrl, shoot ice-stars with the spacebar and jump with shift. (and of course you can configure that). You can also climb ladders and ropes, and crawl under stuff. The main objective is to collect all iced muffins and get out. On your way you will find enemies, traps, blocks and bridges. Most enemies are easily evaded but you can also toast/freeze them with your (limited amount of) stars. I recommend freezing as you can play with the block of ice it creates, but don't let it play with you! Every two levels you will find Santette (Santaman's lovely wife) who will save the game for you. | ||

10 Days Under the Sea is a hidden object game with a treasure hunt theme, where valuables have to be collected around the world. The main character is an underwater explorer, and each screen is a submersed location with fish swimming around. Like in all games of the genre, each screen/location is filled with objects that must be retrieved within a time limit. The player can take photos of the passing fish. These pictures are added automatically to an album with information about the species. Fishes with an ? sign give extra hints when photographed. There's a horn to scare the fish and clear the screen, and a food dispenser to attract them. Four artifacts, stored at the bottom-right corner after being found, help the search for hidden objects. The lamp glows more brightly when the cursor is near a required item. The bomb captures all surrounding objects where it lands. The sensor beeps when it is close to one of the items. Poseidon's net automatically captures an object when clicked. Standard mini-games (jigsaw puzzles, concentration) are included as well. After solving them, the player receives a piece of the magic compass and the game moves to another part of the globe. | ||

| 4 Elements | Playrix Entertainment | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|

This is a tile-matching game with elements from hidden object titles. The levels are labyrinths with grids of multi-colored tiles. The player has to click and drag over groups of three or more tiles to remove them. The objective of each level is to break the background by making matches over it, allowing the elemental energy, green sap for the earth level, lava for the fire element, wind & water for the others, to flow freely. The game screen follows the energy as it flows, moving with it until it is blocked again. The levels are divided in four books representing the four elements. At the start of each book, a screen comes up with scattered pieces of objects that must be collected. After the objects are assembled, they have be used to solve the room puzzle and reach the book key. The levels are organized inside the books as sub-groups related to a typical fantasy character (like elves, dragons, dwarfs, etc). After solving a group, a couple of similar cards with the character appear side-by-side, and the player must click on the differences between the two. There are slots at the bottom of the screen for the four power-ups, each being charged by matches of its corresponding color. The spade destroys a single tile, the bomb explodes several tiles, the swap changes the position of two tiles and the reshuffle reorganizes the whole grid. | ||

You are at the High School of Magical Arts when you get a letter from your uncle. He is an alchemist and leader of a province. It seems he is hot on the trail of the Philosopher's Stone and, while he is away, he wants you to rule his province. You go to his province to find that, with your uncle always busy with research, he has neglected the province. It is up to you to run the province and get it back in shape. It's a puzzle game, mostly match three but also with some hidden object puzzles. The hidden object puzzles are standard where you must find a set number of a certain object, like swords or scrolls. The majority of the game, however, are match three puzzles. You use your mouse to swap two elements to create a row of three or more. The object is to gather the required amount of gold and, on some puzzles, make swaps over frozen cells to release them. You then use this gold to restore buildings. These buildings will gain you bonuses in the puzzles. For instance, if you restore the Thunder Tower, in the puzzle some elements will have a colored gem. Collect enough of these for the Thunder Tower and a bolt of lightning will destroy a random row or column. Later in the game, some elements will have a symbol called a totem. Collect enough of these and you play a bonus game where you use your mouse to lead a leprechaun back and forth under a money tree, trying to catch falling coins. | ||

This is another hidden object game where the player must find a list of items scattered about a screen. It also has all the common mini-games of the genre: jigsaw puzzle variations, split screens where the player has to click on the differences, word search, and one where objects have to be placed back in to the scene. In the story mode there are 50 jewels, two concealed in each screen, that must be collected to unlock two bonus modes that have no time limit: "Spot the Differences" and "Unlimited Seek and Find". Clicking too many times in the wrong spot will deduct points, up to 1000 points for too many incorrect clicks in quick succession. A hint bar at the bottom of the screen slowly fills back up after each click. Each hint costs 5000 points. Finding items quickly gives extra points. | ||

An explorer is hired by a museum to recover the "Caribbean Secret", a sunken Spanish ship filled with gold treasure. This is the third entry in a series of hidden object titles with minimal plot and basic seek-and-find gameplay. Most of the time, the objective is to find and click on all the items listed at the bottom of the screen, on locations filled with assorted objects, within a time limit. The time and hint limits can be turned off in the options menu. Besides the list entries, there are two skulls on each screen that can be collected to unlock bonus modes. Some of the list entries are instructions about some action that has to be performed on the scene, like dragging and dropping an item to a specific place or object in the scenery. Clue entries have riddles about the object instead of its name. There are mini-games at the end of each level, with implementations of well-known concepts like a tile-matching game where two adjacent tiles have to be swapped on a grid to make them disappear, a word search challenge, a spot-the-differences game with two similar pictures, a variation of the differences game where the player has to replace the missing bits between two similar images, jigsaw and picture puzzles, a memory game with pairs of identical figures, and other similar challenges. | ||

Thaddeus McGriff is a collector that sends his nephew around the world to find 8 rare items to complete his collection. Amazing Finds is a hidden-object game with adventure elements. The objective is to find all the objects from a list at the right side of the screen within a time limit, in locations filled with scattered and assorted paraphernalia. Some of the objects are stored in the inventory, to be used later on specific places. The player travels to the locations by flipping the pages of a journal. They show the hidden items as Polaroid photos, along with information about them. All locations have one "locked" object, that can only be opened by using one of the inventory items. Once unlocked they act as a bonus location, where all required objects have to be picked up before collecting the rare item. Mini-games appear after finishing each location. They are variations of classic games like concentration, hangman and jigsaw puzzles, and implementations of casual games staples like Puzzle Loop and a spot-the-differences game between two similar images. The hint system is a coin that sits under the inventory, making one of the objects shine when clicked. The coin can only be used again after 30 seconds, when it stops spinning. | ||

Animal Agents is a hidden object game. Basically, the game is a series of cluttered screens with a list of objects to be clicked. Most of the time the list have words, but sometimes they are replaced by the silhouette of the objects. In later stages instead of words the game shows a list of sounds that the object makes. Each stage has an overall time limit, displayed at the top-left of the screen. Besides the objects, power-ups can be collected and stored in slots at the bottom. They are presented as emblems with icons: the magnifying glass highlights one object, binoculars show the position of several objects at once for a limited time, X2 doubles the points received for finding objects, || stops the timer for a while and a clock gives extra time. The game can be played from the perspective of two characters, each with its own plotline. After completing each story, the player can go back to the locations in puzzle mode, where the objective is to find all the objects as fast as possible. | ||

This is a tile matching game, where the player rotates groups of four jewels to create rows and columns of three or more matching gems. In the Classic and Zen modes, the objective is to make enough matches to fill a tube at the left side of the screen to move to the next level. There's a chain meter at the top of this tube, that builds up with matches in a row multiplying the points, and making a fruit jewel appear when full. A box at the tube bottom shows the sequence of matches needed for bonus points. Obstacles appear randomly on the game board. The coal can't be matched, but it can be exploded by one of the power-ups gems. The locked jewel is chained to its place and can't move, but it can be removed with a match. Bomb gems display the number of moves allowed before they explode, destroying the board and ending the game. They have to be matched before their counters reach zero, otherwise a revolving wheel-of-fortune appears that stops in one of two values, skulls or gems, that either detonate or disarm the bomb. This mini-game becomes more difficult every time it comes up. The power-ups appear after making matches of four or more gems. A four jewel match creates the flame gem, that explodes when matched removing all surrounding jewels. A five jewel match creates the lightning gem, that destroys a column and a row at the same time in a cross of fire. With the exception of Classic Mode, the other modes are unlocked with continuous playing. Zen Mode is similar to Classic, but is more relaxed without the bomb and locked jewels. Challenge Mode is a puzzle mode, where the objective is to perform a task, like removing all gems of one color, or making a number of matches in a row. In Blitz Mode, the goal is to accumulate the maximum amount of points possible within a time limit. | ||

Zoe Black and her brother Charleston find an ancient book containing directions to the legendary sword Excalibur. Zoe travels to Europe, following the book clues with the help of Charleston over the cell phone. Book of Legends is a hybrid adventure and hidden object game. A map shows the locations where Zoe can go. Each location is a famous landmark with an introduction where the two characters talk over the phone and with the open book in the background showing a picture of the location and a clue. In the first visit to the place the game plays like a point-and-click adventure with objectives and inventory objects displayed at the bottom of the screen. After solving one location, new landmarks appear on the map. Also, places already visited become available with different gameplay. After visiting all the locations, Zoe needs to travel to another city. The cell phone near the map indicates the amount of money necessary to buy a ticket. To pay for the fare, Zoe has to take jobs from clients by revisiting previous locations. The gameplay of these sections follows the conventions of the hidden object genre and its mini-games. The objective of most jobs is to collect all the objects listed at the bottom of the screen by finding and clicking on them on the screen. Some jobs involve photographing several instances of the same object. Other jobs show a split screen with two similar images where the player has to put back objects until both are identical. | ||

In anger, Poseidon removed the seven crystals of power that gave Atlantis its prosperity and sealed the Altar of Poseidon so they could not easily be replaced. He then scattered the seven crystals in seven lands: Rome, Greece, Troy, Phoenicia, Babylon, Egypt and Carthage. You must unseal the Altar of Poseidon and solve the puzzles of all seven lands to restore all the crystals of power and save Atlantis. Will you heed the Call of Atlantis? This is a match three and hidden object puzzle game and the sequel to The Rise of Atlantis. Using you mouse, you must first drag items to the altar seals, like a feather, plant, sunflower, etc., to break each seal. Next, travel to the first land, Rome, to solve its puzzles. On the match three puzzles, you must swap two cells to create a row of three or more of the same. There are pieces of an item that you must collect by making them get to the bottom of the puzzle. You can also collect bonuses, like the Bomb of the Titans, that destroys all the cells in a specified area, or the Lightning of Zeus, that destroys all of one type of selected cell everywhere on the puzzle. If you make enough groups of four or more items, you will charge a power up that, when activated, randomly destroys several cells in the puzzle. Do not delay in that the match three puzzles are timed. In the hidden object puzzles, you will have four items that have been broken into pieces and the pieces scattered about a picture. You must locate and click each piece so as to collect the four items. Once all the items of a land have been collected, you must place them in their correct spots of a picture to retrieve the crystal but the crystal then shatters. Now you must return to the picture and locate and click each shard of the crystal to restore it and place it in the altar. Once you have returned the crystal to the altar, it is off to the next land. | ||

| Can You See What I See?: Curfuffle's Collectibles | Dekovir, Inc. | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Can You See What I See? is an adaptation of a book by the photographer Walter Wick, about a toy shop. It is one of those hidden object games, where the player has to find and click objects on the screen within a time limit. Instead of removing it, the game pins down the object with a SOLD tag. The game allows zooming without loss of detail. In some screens, the list of objects is replaced by a riddle. Each stage (or order forms, as the game calls them) starts with five hints. Extra hints can be collected by finding Seymour, a red and yellow doll, or by playing the jumble jar mini-game. The jar is filled with assorted objects that must be dragged and dropped in to their respective bins. There are some mini-games between the stages. One is a cryptogram that must be solved by arranging alphabet blocks. There's also a memory match game. | ||

Cassandra's Journey: The Legacy of Nostradamus is a hidden object game with several mini-games and magic tricks shown between chapters. As Cassandra, a young mystic searching for her magical ring with the help of Nostradamus ghost, the player has to find objects from a list at the bottom of the screen within a time limit. The words on this list are sometimes replaced by silhouettes or riddles. The game shows several magic tricks involving cards and numbers between the stages. Some mini-games appear as well, and they are variations of popular casual games like match-three, word search, jigsaw puzzle, spot-the-difference and mahjong. Each location has jewels hidden on the scenery, that can be collected and used as currency to buy hints with the shop button. Three types of hints are available: the magnifier highlights one of the required objects, the question mark shows the approximate area where one of the objects is, and the wand is encrusted with a gem that shines more brightly when near one the objects. | ||

This is Chuzzle Deluxe with the graphics altered to give it a Christmas theme. The game is, otherwise, the same. You slide entire rows or columns to get three or more Chuzzles together in a group to clear them.There are still four play modes. In Classic Chuzzle, you will have to face locks and Mega Chuzzles. A lock will prevent the row and column where it is located from being able to move. A Mega Chuzzle can move but will not slide off the screen. Both can be cleared by making matches with them. In Speed Chuzzle, you must make a move before the clock runs out or a Chuzzle will get locked. Otherwise, this mode is the same as Classic Chuzzle. In Zen Chuzzle, there are no locks and no clock. In Classic Chuzzle and Speed Chuzzle, if you cannot make any more matches, you can scramble the Chuzzles but only two times then the game is over. In Classic Chuzzle, Speed Chuzzle and Zen Chuzzle, you can get a hint at a loss of points. In Mind Bender, you are shown a pattern on the left side of the screen and you must shift the Chuzzles until they match that pattern. | ||

The scientist Albert builds a time machine in his backyard. His grandson Tim and friends use the machine when no one is watching, and disappear into the past. Tim's mom must find the children and collect all he junk the kids left behind in the past, to avoid a time paradox. The Clumsys is a hidden object game with a time travel theme. Instead of finding the usual list of objects, the player has to travel through time and click on objects that don't belong to the period. Some of those objects are used to build gadgets that help on the search. The inconsistency locator provides hints for the position of objects. It slowly recharges after use, with four modes, each gradually more explicit than the other (the first shows an arrow in the general direction of the object, the last highlights it). Each screen takes place on a different time period where one of the 20 kids have to be found. Once all the anachronistic objects are removed from the scene, the player has to collect objects that have been moved by the child (a list appears with their silhouettes and name), and restore them back to their original place. | ||

| Count of Monte Cristo, The | FindHiddenObjects.com / SpinTop Games | [top] | |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
The Count of Monte Cristo is a hidden object game based on the 1846 classic novel by the French writer Alexandre Dumas. The player assumes the role of Edmond Dantès, a man seeking revenge for a betrayal that sent him to prison. Each screen is a scene taken from the book, with a list at the bottom of objects that must be found and clicked before time runs out. Consecutive wrong clicks take 30 seconds off the timer. After Edmond's escape from prison (that acts as a prelude to the game), each chapter follows his investigation of one of eight suspects, comprised of several locations. Mini-games appear between chapters, and most are implementations of well-known casual titles and common puzzles, like Sudoku, tile matching, sliding-tile and jigsaw puzzles. They can be skipped with a penalty of ten minutes and the removal of all the available hints. The hint button at the bottom-right has five charges, represented as emeralds. It shows the exact position of one of the required objects. Extra gems can be collected on a bonus scene at the start of the next chapter. | ||

In this game, penguins are your ammunition, and the objective is cause as much damage in as few shots as possible. Evil polar bears have taken your flightless companions prisoner. It's up to you to take revenge, by attacking the bears right where it hurts: their home. Crazy Penguin adds a little more challenge to the typical catapult game formula. The penguins you’ll shoot swings like a pendulum, and getting the shot right is a matter of hitting the penguin at the right time. And unlike your usual projectiles, the penguins slide down slopes and bounce of walls. A true aim will allow you to eliminate the bears with just one shot. The game progresses from basic to more complicated levels, featuring more bears and more complex structures to break through. | ||

This is a "spot-the-difference" game. The screen is split in half with two similar scenes at each side. The player has to click on the divergent bits between them. The screens have some coins embedded on them that can be collected to buy gameplay enhancements, extra hints and mini-games at the store. These mini-games are variations of classic games (Simon Says, Whack-A-Mole, memory match, etc). More hints can also be collected by clicking on a character that randomly appears on the screen. Some of the objects clicked go to an inventory at the bottom of the screen. They have to be used at specific places to solve simple puzzles and further advance the game (for example, a crank has to be placed on a lever mechanism on the wall to lift a cage). Some stages have a complete screen, where the objective is to find hidden objects and pieces of a pharaoh mask. Wrong clicks turn off the lights, leaving only a small circle around the cursor visible. If the player takes too long to find anything, the game hints at places on the screen with a small flash. | ||

Flo takes a journey in her memories while looking in a album. The Coral Love Café with Cookie during summer, the Thanksgiving with Toshiro for helping Grandma Florence, the winter passed at the Winter Wonderland, her nightshift in the ghoulish Crypt Café and some romantic diners at the Romantic Rendez-Vous... Everything is coming back in her mind and she's sharing with you. Can you help her to make flourish these five restaurants? This is the fifth game in the Diner Dash series, featuring Flo, owner of different restaurants in Dinertown. She has to save five different places in settings reminding of the four seasons. At the difference of the previous games, Flo isn't living an adventure with five restaurants to save in a normal timeline. The game is also featuring two modes: Endless Shift, where you have to go as far as you can while unlocking bonuses and the Story Mode, where you're living the saving of the restaurants. The gameplay is still the same: seat customers, take their orders, serve their meals and collect the money. Additionally, they can also ask for a snack or a dessert. Sometimes Flo will have to use the mop for cleaning the mess kids and babies made or bring a high chair for families. She can also phone for asking help (for speaking to the customers waiting when a podium is available, for playing some music, for bringing cocktails or for bringing plates). Each customer has five hearts. The more they are red, the more higher the tip will be. If a customer loses all his hearts, he'll leave the restaurant. The customers are also carrying colored clothes and seating them on seats with the same color brings bonus points. There are still the usual customers met in the previous games: Cellphone Addict, Business Woman, Bookworm, Family (including mothers with babies and Father with Son), Normal Girl, etc., each with specific features. For example, some customers like Business Woman or Bookworm don't like noises, so seating them near Cellphone Addict is a wrong idea. In the contrary, the noise doesn't bother Family, so you can put the Cellphone Addict near them. If there aren't new customers in the sense that they're introducing a new element in the game, different versions of the existing ones are appearing like the Zombie Lovebirds in the Crypt Café. When beating a level, you'll be giving the choice to redecorate the restaurant or to propose a new plate. Having an expert score in each restaurant is unlocking a challenge in each of them. | ||

Gameplay is presented as a series of dance-offs where small orbs floating in one of four directions need to be timed correctly when they pass a threshold to keep the dance and the song going. On the Wii the swings are measured while the Xbox 360 version supports the tracking of steps on a dance pad. Next to the single-player mode there is a head-to-head competitive dance mode.

This is a rhythm action game with five difficulty modes ranging from limited four-key gameplay to a challenging eight-key setup. As notes are played with perfect accuracy, a "fever gauge" will be charged. When it is fully charged, Fever can be activated. Fever acts as a multiplier to score and it varies between x2 and x5. This game also requires a highly secured USB profile key, which is included in the packaging, to run the game. The USB stick is used to decrypt the encrypted game content while the game is running. The entire player's profile is also saved to the USB key. A DJMax Trilogy profile consists of several things like the player's high scores, progress and settings. Because of this, it is almost impossible to run DJMax Trilogy without the USB profile key. The English translation of DJMax Trilogy has inconsistencies in naming and many mistranslated or misspelled words. For example, in some of the Mission descriptions (in Mission mode), words like "Achieve" have been misspelled as "Achive". Features: Songs from previous DJMax games: DJMax Trilogy includes most of the songs from all previous DJMax games, along with Trilogy-exclusive songs like "Memory of Wind" and "Streetlight", for a combined total of 130 songs. Updates to the game include some newer songs from DJMax Clazziquai Edition, DJMax Technika, and DJMax Portable Black Square. The BGAs are compatible with wide-screen displays. Almost all BGAs are in the animation motion style of DJMax Portable and DJMax Portable 2 and are completely different from DJMax Technika, DJMax Portable Clazziquai Edition, and DJMax Portable Black Square (the BGA for Stop in Trilogy uses a BGA with characters from the Starfish BGA instead of a boy attacking robots like in Technika and Black Square). Massive amount of content: 1000 note patterns, 900 unlockables, various missions, 120+ songs from previous installations along with new additions. Network Play: Play online with players from around the world. Active Live Sound option allows crowd, comments and reverb voice during game play. Special Saving method: To play this game, you have to insert a USB profile key, which prevents copying of software and also keeps the player profiles. | ||

Henry, the grandfather of a cook apprentice called Ginger, goes around the world searching for recipes, leaving his niece to take care of the family restaurant. Ginger has to take jobs to acquire experience and fill the cookbook with new dishes. This is a time-management game with elements from the hidden object genre. The main interface shows a restaurant kitchen, with food laying around, and orders at the right side of the screen listing the required ingredients for the recipes. The objective is to achieve a minimum amount of money, fulfilling orders by clicking on the ingredients to make the dishes, and delivering them by either clicking on the order or the tray at the bottom. A clock shows the time left before the restaurant closes. Some recipes require an extra cooking step, displayed on the order as an icon for the kitchen appliance to be used. The player can jump from order to order at will, completing one while the cooking process is being performed on another. A maximum of three orders accumulate, each with a portrait of the customer. The portrait background changes color to indicate the level of impatience of the customer. Pleased customers pay more, while angry customers can leave the restaurant in fury while their orders are still incomplete. The money collected is used to reform Ginger's restaurant. Special prizes are received for speed and accuracy, and later added to the decoration as well. There are three money goals for each level, awarded with bronze, silver and gold medals. Each restaurant has its own theme, culinary and unique ingredients. Bonus levels appear from time to time, where the objective is to collect all the ingredients listed in a notebook at the top-right, within a time limit. The hint button shows the location of an ingredient without any point penalty, but slowly recharges after use. | ||

An American chef called Ginger Sanderland must beat other contestants in a cook competition around the world, to win the Chef of the Year award. This is, like its predecessor, a time management game that borrows concepts from the hidden object genre. Each stage shows a kitchen with its appliances, food and other ingredients scattered around the available surfaces. Ginger sits in the middle of it all, running around collecting and cooking. The orders from judges accumulate at the right side of the screen, and the player must prepare the recipes by clicking on the required ingredients and appliances. When the dish is ready, it can be delivered by clicking on the recipe or on a tray at the bottom. A clock at the top-left shows the remaining time to complete the level. Some recipes require a cooking step where the food has to prepared in one of the appliances. An icon of the required appliance appears on the recipe. The player can go from order to order at will, collecting and preparing one while a cooking process is performed on another. On top of each order, a portrait of the judge with a green meter shows the patience level. When this meter is exhausted, the judge leaves in anger. More satisfied judges also give higher scores. At the bottom of the screen, portraits of all contestants indicate their position in the competition. After winning the first place on each round, Ginger receives special items. Some of them help by making her faster, or increasing the patience level of the judges. A special freeze power-up, that stops the clock giving a few seconds more to complete the challenge, appears over the judge patience bar, To collect it, the recipe has to be completed fast before the meter runs out. Ginger can try each round again to reach higher positions. Bonus rounds appear between stages and have different gameplay variations. In one, the screen is split in two similar images and the player has to drag and drop the food on the right place to make them identical. In another, several ingredients have to be collected fast under a more rigorous time limit. The hint button highlights the position of one of the ingredients and can be used without penalty, but takes about a minute to recharge after use. | ||

This is a combination of management and hidden object games. The player is the owner of a restaurant, and has to prepare dishes and serve the food to arriving customers, within a time limit. Each screen shows ingredients scattered throughout the restaurant, and the customer orders at the top of the screen. The order lists the ingredients needed and has a diminishing green meter at the left side showing the customer patience. A satisfied customer pays more. To prepare the food, the player has to find and click on the ingredients. After all the ingredients are collected, the more complex recipes require an extra step, showing an icon of a kitchen utensil, like knifes and cutting boards, frying pans and others, that has to be dragged and dropped in an equivalent icon at the top of the screen. This icon has a red meter around it, that shows the progress of the action being performed (slicing, cooking, etc). After the dish is served, the order shows a cash payment that must be quickly collected to allow a new customer. Every stage has a minimum money goal, and an expert one. The money accumulated can be spent on new equipment and upgrades, and acquiring the new restaurants that become available as the game progresses. A bonus game appears after three stages, where the ingredients have to be placed on scrolling panels showing their silhouettes. Once a panel is full, it disappears. The objective is to fill them as fast as possible to win new recipes. There are multiple bonuses for using all the available utensils at the same time, finding the ingredients in order and collecting multiple payments at once. Some stages have hourglasses in the scenery, that add a few minutes to the timer when collected. | ||

This is a "seek and find" game with adventure elements. Like all games of this genre, the main goal is to find and click on objects subtly placed on the screen. Some of these collected objects are stored in the inventory. They have to be used in key parts of the scenery in order to advance further. To make things easier for the player, the word list at the bottom of the screen shows the silhouette of the requested items. Each game chapter has 3 hints, and extra ones can be earned by finding five hidden beetles. The cursor disappears for a while if the player makes too many wrong clicks. Between chapters, there are several mini-games, some of them unique to their location. These include puzzles and searches for multiple instances of one object. | ||

This is a hidden object game with adventure elements. Famous locations of the palace are represented as static screens filled with assorted objects. The player has to find and click on the required objects from a list at the left side of the screen. Some objects are stored in the inventory, accessible as a treasure chest at the top of the list, to be used later to solve puzzles. Crowns are also hidden on the scenery, on every location. They give 5 credits points for the hint system. Clicking on one of the list items brings up the three hint purchase options, that show the object silhouette, its image or where it is. More explicit hints are also more expensive. At the end of each act, the player must use the inventory objects on interactive hotspots to solve some puzzle, for example using the lighter on candles. Sometimes a mini-game appears, where anagrams have to be constructed, paintings have to be swapped and put in the correct order and other similar challenges. | ||

The adventurers Anna Lyze and Will Scout are hired by a British society to help on converting an ancient medieval castle in a museum. Will knocks over a crystal ball, summoning by accident the legendary wizard Merlin. The old sorcerer sends the two around the globe, in a quest to retrieve the lost pieces of Arthur's armor. Hide & Secret 2: Cliffhanger Castle, like its predecessor, is a hidden object game with an archaeological theme. The main objective is to search screens representing locations around the world for the objects listed on a separate interface at the bottom. Sometimes the list names are replaced by the objects' silhouettes. In some places, the screen is split in two similar images, and the player has to click on the differences between them. In other screens, the goal is to find several instances of the same object. At the end of each chapter, there is a special scenario were the characters are in danger and the player has a limited amount of time to complete the level. For example, in the Egyptian pyramid they fall inside a flooding chamber, and the player must find all the list items before the water fills the screen. After too many wrong clicks in succession, Merlin appears obscuring the screen with a pink haze and disabling the cursor for a few seconds. Usually, there are two hints available per level. The hint button shows the position of one of the required list items, or highlights one of the differences in the split screen stages. | ||

This is a casual game with a fantasy/wizard school theme. There are 9 arcade and puzzle game types available, although the player only starts being able to play three of them (a fishing game, a collapse game, and a block packing game) and must unlock the rest. Winning any game will earn the player points in three different categories: Mind, Craft and Nature. The player has to spend different amounts of points to unlock later stages of each game. Once the player has finished all 25 levels in each game, they get one of three possible endings depending on which of the three scores is highest. Each stage consists of 4 regular levels and one bonus level with a different style of gameplay - the fishing game becomes a shooter game where you have to zap fish with a shrink ray, for example, while the collapse game becomes a puzzle where you have to clear pre-arranged sets of blocks, and so on. The nine games are: Alchemy (match-three, collect potion items); Celestial Spheres (Zuma-like marble shooter game); Dark Lake (fishing game); Fairy Races (top-down racing game); Gnome Mines (packing game); Mystic Tripeaks (tripeaks game); Pixie Blocks (collapse game); Pyromancy (fireworks matching game); Runejong (mahjong matching game). | ||

Uncover the secrets of an intriguing treasure-laden piece of land. This hidden object game has easy mechanics, where you only have to click on objects to fit them onto the group of rock slabs which is basically your list of things to find. The color scheme of the game is brown so you might find it difficult to search for items that are small or thin because they so perfectly blend in together. You can play in two modes which is researcher or challenger mode. To conquer both modes, you need to open your eyes to find the items and occupy all of the rock slabs on the side of the screen. If you click consecutively three times in a row and have not discovered a correct item, then you get a grave time penalty of ten seconds added to your clock. If all is lost and you cant find anything else, there are three available power tools that you can use to your advantage. | ||

This is a hidden object game, where the player has to find and click on all the required objects from a list at the bottom of the screen, on locations filled with assorted things, within a time limit. Each object found adds a star to a meter at the top of the screen. A minimum of ten objects have to be found to finish successfully the location and move to the next one. The game stages are called trips, and are comprised of several locations. Besides the regular objects, there are special items that help the search. The thermometer shows the list items on freezing or burning states, indicating how close the cursor is to the object. The magnet shakes when near one of the objects, making them vibrate too when passing close. The ? marks add to the hints at the top, that temporally replace the list names with pictures of the objects. Bonus games appear between the stages. In one of them, the objective is to find several instances of the same object. In another the goal is to drag and drop objects to their silhouettes on the scenery. In others, the player has to pick the scattered pieces of an object and reassemble them on the silhouette window at the top of the screen. All the locations completed on the regular game are unlocked in Blitz Mode, where the objective is to find all the objects on the screen, as fast as possible. | ||

This is a hidden object game based on the character created by Arthur Conan Doyle. The game has 16 cases to be solved, presented as books on a shelf. Like in other games of the genre, the main objective is to find objects from a list on a screen littered with assorted things, within a time limit. This game shows greater consistency than previous seek-and-find titles, the plot is better integrated to the gameplay and all objects that appear on the screen look like they belong to the Victorian Era. Characters comment on certain objects, giving clues to the solution of the case. Each location has a special object that, when collected, starts one of the mini-games. These games are related to the object. For example, a jewel box must be opened by turning dials at the front. Shattered gems have to be reassembled in a necklace. Other games include sliding tiles, concentration and jigsaw puzzles. A magnifying glass can be used while searching the screen for objects. Hints are collected by finding pieces of Holmes' clothing, like his iconic pipe and cap. At the end of each case, a screen with portraits of the suspects comes up. The goal is to arrange this portraits in rows and columns according to the suspects characteristics (for example, the bespectacled male gardener goes to the "Men" row, and "Glasses" column). When a case is solved, the next one is unlocked. | ||

Swap mode is where you use your mouse to swap two tiles to create rows of three or more. Group mode is where you click your mouse on any group of three or more of the same, whether in a straight row or not. Chain mode is where you drag your mouse along a row of three or more of the same, whether in a straight line or not. The object is always to clear the colored tiles by making matches over them. When all the colored tiles are clear, the level is complete. Some tiles will be locked, with a chain across them. These must be matched to unlock them. Other tiles will be in boxes. You must make a match next to the box to reveal the item within. In addition, there are bonus items that help you.

This is another entry in the line of marble poppers with Egyptian themes. The gameplay remains the same as in the previous titles. The objective is to make matches of three or more spheres of the same color. The player controls a scarab-shaped catapult at the bottom of the screen that moves sideways, throwing balls at a string of marbles being pushed towards a pyramid by an insect. The spheres move on twisty tracks, and if several of them enter the pyramid the game is over. The goal is to clear all the balls, collecting the treasures and power-ups that fall after some matches. Besides the spheres, a treasure chest appears randomly on the field that can be broke with the ball. Some matches also throw treasures and power-ups that can be collected with the scarab. The money is used in the store, to purchase upgrades for the power-ups, or cosmetic changes like a new set of marbles or a different scarab. Some powers are used automatically after being collected. The turtle makes the marble line movement slower. The net creates a glowing line at the bottom that collects anything that falls on it. The bomb explodes all the marbles that share its color. The open hand stops the movement for a few seconds. The circular arrow makes the spheres move backwards. The spike blocks the pyramid entrance, breaking a number of marbles before exploding. Some powers need to be activated by throwing them with the scarab. The cloud paints several spheres with the same color. The scorpion runs out of the pyramid, destroying all the marbles in its path. The lightning bolt shoots up in a straight column, destroying all the balls crossing it. The arrows increase the speed of the shots. In Adventure Mode, the plot is shown as cutscenes between levels. The queen Nefertiti needs to recover the four canopic jars of her husband Akhenaten, stolen by thieves sent by the god Amun. A map of ancient Egypt shows all the major cities, and the pathways between them are comprised of a series of levels. After completing certain levels, the player receives pieces of seven artifacts that help on the quest. The Eye of Horus shows in which level the other pieces of artifacts are located. The Sphinx unlocks the Puzzle Mode. The Scarab makes golden scarabs appear on the levels, that throw coins when shot. The Statue of Horus upgrades the ball shooter. The Cow of Hathor increases the points received for each piece of treasure. The Chariot allows automatic travel to any city. The Sun Disc of Aten locks a city, trapping the thieves. Some levels have slight variations to the regular gameplay. In battle levels, there are two shooting scarabs, at the top and bottom, and two exit pyramids with a marble string between them that acts like rope in a tug of war, being pulled in opposite directions by two insects. The objective is to move a circular section to the player pyramid, by making matches as fast as possible. In the river levels, the screen is divided by a river filled with spheres, and the goal is to make a path to destroy the balls at the top bank. On swarm levels several insects invade the screen, each pushing three marbles. | ||

Catherine, a student in the magic academy, receives a message written in a flying paper bird. When she opens the note, a magic spell transports her to an unknown jungle, where she learns about a terrible dragon that must be stopped. This is a hidden object game with adventure elements. Instead of collecting objects from a list, this time the objective is to collect pieces of objects scattered on several locations, assemble and use the tools created to solve puzzles. The bottom of the screen shows faded jigsaw pictures of the necessary object pieces. After being assembled, the object is stored in the inventory at the right side. Some of the pieces only appear after solving one of the mini-games. They are variations on classic games like Tower of Hanoi, jigsaw puzzles, Pipe Dream, etc. The objects are used on specific places on each screen (for example, a key is used on a lock). Some stages have multiple locations and the player must go back and forth, collecting everything and solving all the puzzles to finish the level and move on. | ||

Embark on the traces of the Ancient Mayan cultures and puzzles await you. Tropical rainforest with dilapidated ruins and you're still in search of the totem of the ancient people. A sensational puzzle game for the whole family. A match-3 game with unusual gameplay: The game pieces are shaped like puzzle pieces. They can not be moved or exchanged as with most games on the board, but must be rotated in place for so long until they fit together. This creates chains of 3 or more stones, with longer chains extras can be earned here. The aim is to unlock the tiles lying under the tiles until all the tiles in the playing area are free. That's so many times a real challenge and not as easy as it seems at first sight. A completed field liberates parts of totems from a cave, as the game progresses several totems must be unlocked. A very entertaining game, not too light and not too heavy, and with unusual gameplay. | ||

This is a hidden object game, where the player must search and click on items from a list at the left of the screen, on locations filled with assorted objects, within a time limit. Items listed in green must be dragged and placed somewhere on the scenery (for example, tools on a tool racket). Occasionally, puzzles and mini-games appear where the player has to perform several activities, from grooming dogs to defending a computer from a virus attack. They are simplified implementations of popular casual game concepts, like time management and tower defense, and classic games like Master Mind, Pipe Dream and jigsaw puzzles. All the locations have three clovers hidden that give extra hints when collected. After being clicked, the hint button at the top of the list draws a clover outline over one of the objects, for a few seconds. | ||

Uncle Jerome asks Mortimer to help him again, this time with time portals in his manor. Mortimer must enter them and travel to the past and future, to collect anachronistic objects that were sucked by the portals and ended up on the wrong era, causing dangerous time paradoxes. This is a hidden object game where, instead of clicking on objects from a list at the side of the screen, the player must search for pieces of objects scattered around the scenery. The objects are assembled and stored in the inventory strip at the bottom, divided in two categories: puzzle items to the left and misplaced items to the right. Puzzle items are tools to be used on certain places to solve problems or gain access to some place, and misplaced items are objects that must be put back to their place of origin. Each chapter is a different time period with several locations. The map button brings up an overhead view of all available places, and allows instantaneous travel to them. Each place is presented as a series of screens, with hotspots that change the cursor to indicate the action to be performed. The gears cursor appears when over the original place of one of the objects. The jigsaw piece cursor indicates puzzle interaction. The speech balloon cursor shows up when one of the characters can talk. Some screens have interactive puzzles that must be solved with logic, or using information gathered somewhere else. A notebook at the right side can be accessed at any time. It contains all the clues discovered so far, as they are added automatically to the pages after being uncovered. There is no penalty for clicking on wrong places. The unlimited hint button highlights the position of one of the pieces, taking a few seconds to recharge after use, and Mortimer warns when there is no piece to be found. | ||

In some instances, the player has to use a forensic tool to find fingerprints and other clues. Finding Mr. Biscuits on the scene gives an extra clue. Each completed room adds a clue to the case file. Three hints are available as dog biscuits at the bottom left. They make one of the required objects spin, stretch or jump to indicate its position. The game comes with two modes, Relaxed and Story. Relaxed mode has no plot, and random objects. | ||

| Mystery Case Files 5: Return To Ravenhearst | Big Fish Games | [top] | |

Once again, the ghost of Emma Ravenhearst summons the detective to the cursed estate to investigate and free ghosts, while fighting the evil spirit of her husband Charles. This is another instalment of the Mystery Case Files series of hidden object games, and the sequel to Ravenhearst. This time around, the gameplay focus is on the point-and-click adventure portion, with hidden object screens. The main objective is to solve all the puzzles encountered on the various places of the Ravenhearst abandoned estate, to complete the investigation and help Emma's ghost. Ravenhearst is presented as a series of mostly static images that can be navigated by placing the cursor at one of the screen sides. If it is possible to move in that direction, the cursor becomes an arrow that can be clicked to move on. The inventory at the bottom shows several slots storing all the tools available. Objects are collected by clicking them on the scenery, or after completing one of the hidden object screens. The inventory items can be used to solve puzzles by dragging them to an appropriate and logical place or object. A separate hidden object screen comes up after clicking on certain portions of the scenery, that show a glimmering effect to indicate their use. After finding all the objects from a list at the bottom, one of them is stored in the inventory for later use. Puzzles appear on most locations, where a window or a whole separate screen comes up that can be manipulated with the cursor. Some puzzles can be skipped, with a time penalty of 30 minutes added to the score. Clues and other bits of information are automatically stored in the journal, accessible at any point in the game. The hint button shows the position of required items in the hidden object screens, and can also give clues about the use of inventory tools, by dragging any of them to it. It takes a few minutes to reload after use. | ||

In Lyon, France, a man called Charles and his wife are killed, and their children disappear. His cousin travels from Paris and starts an investigation to discover the culprits behind the crime and to find the missing children. This is a hidden object game with a crime novel plot. As in most games of this genre, the objective is to collect a myriad of objects discreetly placed on the screen, within a time limit. A list of the required objects appears at the right side. Sometimes, objects have to be picked up and placed over other objects (for example, several pencils have to be collected individually and put inside their box). There is no limit to the number of hints, but after clicking the magnifier hint button there is a wait of 2 minutes before using it again. Mini-games offer a diversion from normal gameplay. They are variations of well-known classic games like Tower of Hanoi, jigsaw puzzles, Word Search, Sudoku, Minesweeper, Mahjongg Solitaire, and others. The games can be skipped, but doing it so costs a time penalty of 10 minutes. | ||

This is a hidden object game based on the 1820 classic short story. The game is divided in chapters, comprised of several different locations, each telling the story of a citizen of the cursed city. As usual, the objective is to find all the items from a list at the bottom of the screen, on rooms filled with assorted paraphernalia. Placing the cursor over a list entry shows the object's silhouette. Some items sparkle, indicating that they contain one of the mini-games.

Each chapter starts with three hints, that when used create a glowing ring around one of the required objects. Extra hints can be acquired by collecting the jack-o-lanterns hidden on every location. | ||

Extending the best-selling Nancy Drew PC games series into the downloadable casual games space, this first title introduces a new, more accessible, pick-up-and-play mystery experience, while maintaining the visual and thought-provoking qualities that have made the Nancy Drew PC game series a best-seller year after year. It combines a hunt and peck mechanic with a new level of compelling story-driven gameplay involving detective work, sophisticated interaction with clues and characters, and arcade mini-games. Playing from the point of view of Nancy Drew, players find hidden clues and use their strengths of observation, deduction, and problem-solving to uncover culprits and schemes in the heavily story-driven plot. Nancy Drew is on the set of a controversial remake of a famous 1930's film "Pharaoh!" The original "Pharaoh!" was released with an alternate ending due to the untimely death of Lois Manson, the film's budding star, and became a box office smash. Now, Nancy Drew is undercover on the set trying to get to the bottom of suspicious press leaks and uncanny accidents that have put the production schedule in jeopardy and seem to hint towards sabotage... or perhaps it's a curse from the fallen film star. | ||

Bearing similarity to Puzzle Quest, this is a role playing game where the battles take the form of a game of Reversi. You and your opponent take turns placing tokens on the board. You capture your opponent's tokens by placing your tokens on either side of a straight line of your opponent's tokens. You win by either eliminating all your opponent's tokens, by keeping him from capturing anything for 3 moves, or by having more points when the board is filled. The RPG aspects take the form of stats, which can increase your points, and equipment, items, and petpets, which let you do otherwise illegal moves a limited number of times in each battle, or manipulate point totals. Outside of battle, you can take on quests, talk to people, fight and capture petpets, and shop. In the story, you're busy helping the crew of the Cyodrake's Gaze when the city you're in is attacked in pursuit of an amulet that soon ends up in your possession. Now it's up to you to figure out what it does and who's after it before it's too late. | ||

The pinwheel creates two spinning fans around one of the list items. The fans spin faster and change color from blue to red when the cursor is near the object. The whistle stops the movement of the toys. A number beneath the ribbons shows the amount of uses left for each one. The ribbons can be charged by collecting their icons on the playfield. Some of the toys ask for things on the screen, awarding one random charging icon if the player drags and drops the required item on them. There is an optional mini-game between chapters. The projector game has three knobs that must be flipped back and forth to adjust the picture quality, while avoiding disruption by mischievous toys that come from the sides of the screen, trying to jump on them. In some locations all the objects keep going in and out of the screen, and the player must pay attention and click on the required toys while they are moving. In other places, the required objects keep appearing and disappearing from the screen. | ||

There's a time limit of about half an hour per location, and three hints available that show the position of one object. Several puzzles appear between stages.

Heather Williams is a paranormal investigator with supernatural powers, and the ability to exorcise possessed objects. She must confront a ghost from her past that is terrorizing the city. This is a hidden object game, where cluttered rooms have to be cleared by finding and clicking on specific objects, listed at the right side of the screen, within a time limit in classic mode. The relaxed mode, selectable at the start, removes the time constraints. In some places, the list shows the object silhouette instead of words. The plot is shown as cutscenes and dialog between the characters that are present on some locations. Mini-games appear occasionally, taking place on a separate screen with implementations of classic puzzles like jigsaw, concentration and similar games. They can be skipped without penalty. In a standard gameplay variation of the genre, the screen is sometimes split in two similar images, and the player has to click on the differences. In some screens, the objective is to find all possessed objects that have a otherworldly glow around them. The hint button highlights the position of one object. Extra hints can be collected as ? marks on the screen, and up to 6 can be stored for later use. | ||

| Peggle Nights | PopCap Games, Inc. | [top] | |

This sequel to Peggle is more of an expansion pack than a full-featured new game. The gameplay remains exactly the same: the player controls a cannon at the top of the screen, that can turn 180º and shoot balls at a series of bricks or pegs that turn brighter when hit. The ball bounces around the screen and eventually falls down, making the touched bricks explode. The player has limited number of balls to clear all the orange pegs. A large bowl keeps moving at the bottom of the screen from one side to the other and, if the ball falls inside, it is saved and added to the remaining ones. At the moment before the ball hits the last orange peg, the camera zooms in for a slow-motion close-up and Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" starts playing in the soundtrack. After that, the ball falls in one of the five bowls that cover the bottom of the screen, with bonus points ranging between 10,000 to 100,000 points. In the Adventure Mode, the game is divided in 12 stages, each one with 5 levels and a different character. The character changes the power-up released by hitting the green bricks/pegs. For example, in the levels of the squirrel Jimmy Lighting, the power is multi-ball. In the Claude the lobster levels, it is a pair of claws that act like pinball flippers. The Challenge Mode has 60 unique levels with specific goals. Five of the Challenge levels are only playable after completing 15 levels in the Adventure mode, while the remaining 55 levels are only accessible after completing it. In Quick Play the player can retry any completed levels, and in the Duel Mode two players can compete in hot-seat. Three expansions have been released: a holiday theme, a spring theme and a pack with fan-art-based levels. | ||

As a citizen of the kingdom of Bartonia, it's your job to discover why the Undead have begun swarming all over the world of Etheria. In this RPG hybrid you'll be following the story of your character as they rid Etheria of the Undead scourge and save Bartonia, complete sidequests for extra money, experience, items and companions, craft your own weapons and armor, capture monsters for use as mounts or to learn their spells, and even lay siege to neighboring kingdoms in order to add them to your own empire. However, Puzzle Quest is an RPG with a twist. Everything is done (as the name implies) with puzzles. Everything in Puzzle Quest is done with puzzles. The puzzles themselves are similar to Bejeweled in execution, with a few slight variations used for things like item crafting and enemy capture. When fighting an enemy (which can range from zombies to orcs and even castle strongholds, each with their own special spells and abilities), you both take turns using the same board. The goal is to reduce your opponents hitpoints to zero, which can be done directly by linking up skulls in rows of three or more, or by using spells which require mana. To build up mana, just link three or more runes of the same color together, just like the skulls. Every time you gain mana, it's stored in your reserves until you use it (or are hit with a mana draining attack). Gold and experience are built up in the same way, using gold coins or purple experience orbs that occupy the same board and can be linked just like runes and skulls. The real strategy behind the game comes into play when you factor in elemental mastery (gaining extra mana when linking runes for a specific element), equipment (which can prevent damage, drain mana and more), spells (which can poison, drain mana, stun and so on) and linking up groups of four or more. The reason groups of four are important is that every time a row of four-of-a-kind is created, you get an extra turn. While it doesn't sound important, getting four runes in a row could possibly give you enough mana to cast an extremely powerful spell and give you the extra turn to cast it before your enemy can even move. There is also a direct action mode in which players can hone their skills against various opponents independent from the story mode, as well as wireless multi-card play where two players can square off using their own characters from the campaign mode. | ||

This is a hidden object game with a reality TV theme. As in all the games of this genre, the main objective is to find the objects from a list at the right side of the screen. The game has two modes. The world explorer mode is the solo mode, while in challenge mode the player competes against computer players (a racing line appears at the bottom of the screen showing the position of each player). Special tools, placed under the objects list, help the player on the search. The magnifying glass zooms in any part of the screen, the hot and cold cursor gets ignited when near one of the required objects, the compass points towards them, the target shows their position. At the start of each round there's one of each tool available, with the exception of the magnifying glass that can be used at any time for free. In world explorer mode, extra tools can be earned by finding the bonus objects shown at the bottom of the screen in silhouette. In challenge mode, the game grants extra tools every few minutes. Wrong clicks make the cursor disappear for five seconds. | ||

Some items take more time than others to grow, and other items, such as milk, require you to take crops and process them in some way.

After founding her wildly successful salon franchise, Sally decides to take a vacation. While on vacation, she meets a friend in the spa supply business who notes that her business has taken a downturn recently since local spas have been closing. This sparks an idea with Sally to fill the spa void. Sally's Spa is a time management game where customers file in through the door desiring a variety of spa-type services. These include facials, massages, hot stone treatments, nail clipping and painting, whirlpools, and others. Customers indicate what service they want next with a pictorial balloon above their heads. The player must guide them to the appropriate station in the salon and service the customer. The customers must have their needs met in a timely manner or else their satisfaction meters (measured in hearts) will decrease along with prospective tips. Customers will eventually leave if they are dissatisfied enough. In order to survive, Sally's business must grow a certain amount each day. Between days at the spa, Sally can use her profits to purchase upgrades for the spa such as more stations, faster equipment, and waiting area amenities for keeping the customers patient. Sally can also hire assistants to staff various stations, thereby lessening her own burden. Further, Sally sells items from her friend's supply service on consignment. There are different types of products that are more appropriate to sell on different days depending on characteristics (e.g., days with a high UV index can see higher sales of SPF lotion). Sally must stock these items in her limited display case slots based on what is most likely to sell on a given day. | ||

The name of an object is highlighted in blue when it only appears after a puzzle is solved . When passing over an interactive portion of the screen, the cursor becomes a blue arrow with gears. When crossing over a part of the scenery with a close-up image, the cursor becomes a green arrow with a magnifying glass.

Mata Hari, the famous World War I spy, tries to uncover German military secrets by seducing top officials and investigating their houses. Secret Missions: Mata Hari and the Kaiser's Submarines is the second entry in the casual market from Frogwares, a company known for its adventure game titles. It was created by basically the same team of Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Persian Carpet, and therefore shares the same interface and overall design. Being a casual title, it is a hidden object game with adventure elements and simple puzzles. Each level starts in Mata Hari's room at the Excelsior Hotel, where she receives missions from her superior through a concealed radio receiver. The radio itself is a puzzle, where multi-colored wires have to be connected to receive the message. A file shows details about the mission target, someone with valuable information. Sometimes, the photograph has to be examined with a magnifying glass for more details. Using the information provided, the player must dress Mata Hari to suit the taste of the man she's trying to seduce. On easy mode, a reticule moves over a portrait of the gentleman, showing when the choice of clothes is correct. Leaving her premises, Mata Hari arrives at the target's place where she must search around for clues, solving any puzzles on the way. A box at the bottom right of the screen shows the inventory, with black silhouettes for the objects that must be collected. Pink silhouettes indicate an extra step needed to retrieve the object, usually some container that must be opened, or puzzle that must be solved. Under the inventory, icons of puzzle pieces indicate the number of puzzles left to be completed. They turn gold after being solved. After being collected, the inventory objects can be dragged and dropped on parts of the scenery to solve puzzles. The cursor changes to a magnifying glass when hovering over an area with a zoomed view, and transforms in to a wrench when an action can be performed. All puzzles can be skipped, with points deducted from the score as a penalty, and the hint button highlights the area with actions still pending. | ||

The story follows Edwina, a granddaughter of Robert Margrave, who comes to Margrave Manor to find out what has happened to her missing grandfather, and also to find out more about the man himself. There, she is greeted only by the sole butler who has apparently been tending the manor for the past 10 years while his master has mysteriously disappeared. Robert's disappearance for a longer time wasn't anything new, but 10 years is just too long not to have any doubts or concerns about his whereabouts. After repairing the electricity, Edwina sets off to find out clues about her grandfather's whereabouts which leads her to a mysterious locked door which can only be opened by acquiring a couple of dozen parts of a broken seal. Thus the search for parts of the seal in a way of hidden object adventure begins. This is a common hidden object game where the player must find a number of listed objects on the screen and click on them. Each room/screen has 15 minutes as the time limit and two hints. An extra hint is added every three minutes. Every 6 rooms one part of the seal if found, and out of some 15-20 rooms in total, the player constantly revisits the same rooms where same objects are placed differently and new objects are added. The text on the bottom shows objects the player needs to find, but only first 3-4 listed items are visible while other objects on the list become clear and selectable as the objects from the list get cleared. Every once in a while, the lights go out in which case the player uses flashlight to illuminate part of the room to look for hidden objects. The spot-the-difference mini-game is also included which splits the screen vertically in half requiring of player to spot 10 differences in order to clear the room. During your search, the butler or you will sometime find the hidden notes or pieces of your grandfather's journal which are ripped apart and will have to be put together like a jigsaw puzzle. Collected articles and objects can be accessed via main menu under collectibles, and freeplay mode features hidden-object mini-game for unlocked rooms but without the time limit. | ||

Loosely based on the Sims, Bumper Blast asks the player to tag as many of the Sims as possible in each level. This is done by hitting a same-colored Sim with the ball, which also causes all nearby Sims of the same color to be tagged as well, and the Sim that was hit to move. If all bumpers of the same color are tagged, they turn into completed Sim Bumpers, which reflect shots instead of catching them. Each level has a maximum number of shots. While not all Sims need to be tagged, tagging most of them will earn bronze, silver, and gold medals, with a diamond if the player manages to tag every last one. Levels can feature blockers, which need to be hit once or more to disappear, boosts, which change the way the ball works, portals, which teleport shots and Sims, undecided Sims, which need a nearby Sim to be hit before they turn into regular Sims, and more. There are 120 levels in all, which can be replayed at any time to get a higher score, or tag more Sims. There's also a quick-play mode, which lets the player replay levels with unlimited shots, or try levels that aren't in the campaign mode. | ||

This is a simplified version of the classic city-simulator game SimCity 2000. One of entries of the popular franchise in the casual market, it features a less detailed simulation and more straightforward approach to the building aspects of the earlier titles. The city is presented in isometric fashion with cartoon graphics. The player defines building zones, each with a respective color: blue for business, yellow for industrial and green for residential.

Some large square shapes are called puzzle pieces. After placing them on the ground and filling them with other regular pieces, the player can choose a building to be created from a menu. These include city features that help in some aspects the city: schools drive down density and increase revenue, parks make the citizens happy, police stations fight crime, etc. Like in the original game, random disasters threaten the city. Some can be stopped by clicking on them. To fight crime, for example, the player has to click and hold over an icon of a robber. The city revenue is used to build roads connecting the zones. | ||

Objects can be dragged and dropped, buttons can be pushed, chains can be pulled and so on. There are no instructions, but the player can use the hints to skip one of the necessary actions, incurring a time penalty. Hints are stored as question marks at the top of the list, and when used they show the exact position of one of the required objects.

This is an electronic music compilation packaged as a game to, as the author describes it, promote experimental electronic music by means of an addictive catalyst. The game is disguised as a regular Tetris clone, but with psychedelic effects where colours change or the screen is distorted. There are three difficulty levels and by removing lines players fill a special meter. When full, one of the two bonus modes can be activated. The first reverses the playing field and allows the player to remove bricks with Breakout gameplay. The other special mode is inspired by Mr. Driller. A tiny character drops down and for a short amount of the time the player can drill through blocks towards the bottom of the screen. There are 21 original electronic music tracks. Before starting the game, players can either choose ambient or rhythmic tracks, or both. | ||

| Three Stooges, The: Treasure Hunt Hijinks | TechFront Studios Ltd. / eGames Inc. | [top] | |

The stooges must find the pieces of a treasure map for their landlord. This is a hidden object game starring cartoon versions of the famous comedy trio (using the classic Larry, Moe & Curly formation). The objective, as always, is to search the screen for the objects from a list. The stooges appear on each scene, and they hurt each other when the player clicks on the wrong spots. The game has two modes, Relaxed and Time Frenzy. The main difference is the amount of time available for each location, and the way the objects appear on the list. In Time Frenzy, only one object or group of objects are listed at a time. The hint cursor is a nose that sniffs the object and lights a lamp when over it. Two mini-games can be played at any time to win extra hints. In Smack Attack, the stooges punch and slap each other, and the player has to repeat their actions (like in Simon, where each attack corresponds to a color). In Nyuck and Duck, the objective is to protect the three comedians from dangerous flying objects. | ||

Jack Jones disappears while flying over the Pacific Ocean, and his grandson Gordon inherits the relic hunting family business. Gordon must find out what happened to his grandfather while searching for lost treasures around the globe. This is a hidden object game with adventure elements. As usual, the main objective is to find and click all the objects on the screen from a list at the bottom (that sometimes contains their names, sometimes their silhouettes). When the cursor hovers over an interactive part of the scenery, it changes into a hand that opens doors, drawers, blinds, and performs other similar actions. Sometimes the required objects are concealed inside a container, like a refrigerator or a cabinet. The cursor transforms into a magnifying glass when passing over a part of the screen that can be zoomed in. Some of the objects are stored in the inventory to be used later. The cursor becomes a briefcase when over a puzzle that requires the use of one of the inventory items. Each chapter (comprised of several screens) starts with a certain number of hints. Extra hints can be bought with coins collected on the locations. The price of each hint is three coins. The game has two modes. In timed mode, there's a time limit to complete each chapter. Relaxed mode doesn't have a timer, but each wrong click makes the screen dimmer and dimmer until it is completely black. The player has to wait some time until the location is visible again. | ||

While searching around the basement, a brother and sister called Nelly and Tommy discover their pirate grandmother's diary containing directions to a hidden treasure. This is a hidden object game that shares the same gameplay mechanics of Artogon's previous title, The Mystery of the Crystal Portal. Instead of having the usual list of required items at the side of the screen, the game has hotspots that open a circle with surrounding pictures of necessary objects. The objective is to find these hotspots and drag and drop the required tools and objects from the scenery to the circle. After gathering everything, some of the hotspot circles disappear revealing a key item underneath them. Some places open a separate window showing another point view of the room, or the contents of a container. Multiple windows and circle hotspots can be opened at the same time. Sometimes a logic puzzle appears on a separate screen, where a mechanism must be tinkered to fix or open something. After about a minute, the skip button at the bottom left fills up allowing the puzzle to be skipped. The hint button highlights the position of an object, and takes a few minutes to recharge after use. | ||

This is an inventory-based hidden object game. Instead of searching for the objects from a list, the player has to collect the their pieces scattered about the screen. A picture of each broken object is shown at the bottom, along with the number of pieces remaining to be found. After being assembled, the objects are stored in the inventory at the right side. The player has to place the complete objects on their correct places, which usually are not in the location where they have been found. The hint system is a rune stone that sits under the inventory, and replaces the cursor when picked up. The stone shines more brightly when near one of the pieces, making it shake. After being spent, the stone takes about a minute to be used again, and a green energy bar besides it fills slowly while recharging. Some objects bring up a puzzle when they are put on their places. Most of them are variations of classic games like jigsaw puzzles and Simon, with a few unique ones. Some of the locations have interactive portions, where the player has to move parts or press buttons to reveal a hidden piece. At the end of each chapter, a mini-game has to be completed on some of the previous locations. A number of objects related to one or more characters, displayed as cards on the inventory space, has to be collected (for example, toys for the boy, cutlery for the waiter, etc). | ||

This is a color matching game. Like its predecessor, the objective is to clear moving rows of bugs by matching three or more of the same color. A stationary giant beetle shoots bugs towards the rows. The player receives extra lives by collecting 25 gold rings or the letters that spell E-X-T-R-A at the top-left of the screen. Power-ups are also available. The ballistics bugs power-up allows aiming at bugs behind the front row. The gap bug makes a wide gap and briefly stops the row from moving. The homing bugs go directly to the nearest bug of their color. The color bug picks up all the bugs matching its color. Some stages have animal helpers (a frog, a butterfly and a rhino beetle) that collect bugs when nudged. Besides the standard game, there are two other modes: an endless mode, where the game only ends when all the lives where spent, and a rescue mode, where 27 rounds have to be completed in one hour. | ||

A north pole rescue pilot called Veronica Rivers receives a distress call from a group of geologists in Alaska. After arriving with her plane at their camp, she discovers a magical portal inside a cave that leads to other places of the globe. This is a hidden object game, where the player has to find all the required items from a list on locations filled with assorted objects. The list sometimes shows the object silhouette instead of its name, and in some places the list is replaced by a series of black and white photographs of specific parts of the screen that must be shot by the player, using the mouse as the camera viewfinder. Puzzles have to be solved between chapters. They are simple logic games, where the player has to unscramble gems or fix some equipment. The number of hints is unlimited, and each list item has a small text description. | ||

A pack-in with certain models of Toshiba Qosimo and Dynabook laptops, this PC version of Tetris featured online versus play. As the servers are now down, all that can be played is the included "trial mode". The game will also refuse to install on non-Toshiba branded computers. Luckily you can edit the VMWare bios file using Phoenix Bios Editor and play the still working trial which is just a flash .swf file. | ||

A woman is cleaning the attic of her grandmother's house when she finds a trunk filled with wild west antiquities. After picking up a pocket watch, she is transported through time to an old west town, where she must save her great-great-grandfather from being assassinated by local criminals. This is a standard hidden object game with a wild west theme. As usual, the objective is to retrieve from the screen all the objects that have their names listed at the bottom. Sometimes this name list is replaced by silhouettes. The game has two modes: timed and relaxed (without the time limit). The mini-games that appear between chapters of the story include a spot-the-differences game with two similar images, locations where several instances of one object have to be found and some shooting sequences, where the screen spins around a panorama and the cursor becomes an aiming reticule, and the player has to hit several gunfighters. Three hints are available at the start of each chapter. Extra hints can be collected as ? icons hidden on the screen. | ||

This is a word guessing game, where the player must write the name of objects by analyzing portions of their pictures. Each stage is a collection of 16 pictures and objects sharing the same theme. The main interface shows a blank page from a magic book, where clicking anywhere on it uncovers a small square of a complete object picture. The player must guess the object and type its name in a tab at the bottom of the screen. The game accepts the most common synonyms and variants for the names, and has tolerance for small typing errors. A candle at the left side diminishes with every opened square, allowing 8 clicks per page. A number of stars are received for each correct answer, with less clicks awarding more stars. When the candle is a small stub, clicking on the wick smoke reveals the object, but the player doesn't receive any stars. In some pages the image is not hidden, but distorted beyond recognition. Instead of uncovering it bit by bit, each click on the messed picture clears it slowly, and at any time the player can guess the object by typing its name. An incomplete picture appears between stages, with missing bits listed at the right side of the screen. The player must click on the places indicated by the list, where the magical pen will draw the missing parts. At the start of each stage, three magical potions can be taken from a selection of nine. They sit on a shelf at the right side of the page, and can be used at any moment. The perception potion increases the size of the uncovered square. The freeze potion stops the candle from decreasing in size for a few turns. The anagram potion shows a word made with the same letters of the object name. The drippy ink makes the square reveal a bit more of the picture, by making it drip down the page. The hint potion shows a clue about the object. The crystal ball shows three successive objects melded together. The clean slate resets the candle state, erasing all the revealed parts of the picture. The swirl potion paints a spiral on the page, revealing parts of the picture. The silhouette shows the object contour for a few seconds. The lightning shows the complete picture for a brief moment. The stars collected in every stage are used to open sketchbooks with extra levels, that can be accessed at the main menu. | ||

| Yard Sale Hidden Treasures: Sunnyville | Slapdash Games / Big Fish Games Inc | [top] | |

This is a hidden object game with a home improvement theme. Each stage starts in one of eight rooms of a house in need of interior decoration. The player has to find a list of objects on yard sales of the surrounding neighborhood. Some of the things found are repaired and added later to the room. The yards have unique themes related to their owners. The scientist sells books and laboratory equipment, the vampire sells spiders and other ghoulish items, the clown yard has circus props, etc. The mini-games at the end of each stage are also synchronized to the neighbors personality. For example, the sailor asks the player to reassemble his treasure map. Some of the items need repair before being placed in the room. This happens on a separate interactive screen, where the player needs to cut, clean, paint and assemble several objects with the mouse cursor. Each room/stage starts with three hints, and extra ones can be collected by clicking on stars hidden on the screen. | ||
