Mr. Shadow review
This beautiful Samorost-style indie puzzler is delightfully surreal, but its more illogical puzzles are anything but child's play.
The Wardrobe review
This (re-)animated comic adventure is packed with fun pop culture references, along with a few puzzle skeletons best left in the closet.
Blackwood Crossing review
This surreal 3D adventure is just the ticket for fans of story-driven, esoteric experiences with rich underlying themes.
Among the Innocent: A Stricken Tale review
This sharp-looking South African first-person mystery is guilty of being short on both atmosphere and proper puzzle implementation.
Elena: Displaced Reality review
This single-apartment interactive mystery can't really fulfill its Gone Home-style environmental storytelling promise.
Escape from Pleasure Planet review
This sci-fi adventure tastefully introduces its LGBTQ-friendly message, but its thin story and hodgepodge of frustrating minigames cause a world of hurt.
CAYNE: A STASIS Story review
The surprisingly meaty sci-fi prequel to STASIS raises the bar for freeware adventures, delivering another stellar sci-fi horror experience.
Midvinter review
Fending off trolls in 19th century Sweden isn't much of a chore in this short but beautiful adventure based on Scandinavian folklore.
Midnight at the Celestial Palace: Chapter I review
This fantasy adventure trilogy is humming right along with a charming and highly entertaining musical debut episode.
Haven Moon review
This Myst-style 3D puzzler is a gorgeous island experience that may be eclipsed by its thin story and relentless puzzle difficulty.

The revived Japanese port is bigger and gorier than ever, though more an old-school visual novel than interactive adventure.
