9 / 10.0 - Oxenfree
Jan 23, 2016

If you're into digital narration and you love Amblin movies from the eighties, maybe with a bit of John Carpenter in them, you should not miss Oxenfree. If you hate games where the main activity is talking, stay away from it.

9 / 10.0 - SUPERHOT
Feb 25, 2016

SUPERHOT is a unique and inventive game, very stylish and with an interesting narration. The campaign is a bit on the short side, but there's a lot of potential for replayability.

9 / 10.0 - Shardlight
Mar 8, 2016

Even though puzzles are a bit on the easy side, narration, world building and mature themes are top notch and make Shardlight a beautiful graphic adventure.

9 / 10.0 - Fragments of Him
May 11, 2016

A beautiful, smart, mature and emotionally deep experiment in interactive narration. If you're looking for "traditional" gameplay, though, stay as far as possible from it.

A beautiful point and click adventure that dives into the English folklore with a lovecraftian vibe. Great writing, strong emotions, smart puzzles... it works on every level.

Oxenfree II does everything you would expect from a sequel and even manages to squeeze in a couple of surprises, but don't expect anything revolutionary from it.

8.8 / 10.0 - Kathy Rain
May 16, 2016

A very good classic graphic adventure with smart puzzles and a bizarre atmosphere that goes from Nancy Drew to Twin Peaks.

8.8 / 10.0 - The Way
Jun 4, 2016

If you feel nostalgia for classic arcade adventure games from the Nineties like Flashback and Another World, you should not miss this one. But be aware of it's unforgiving level design.

8.5 / 10.0 - Kalimba
May 12, 2015

Careful, extremely nice in the design of the characters, with a captivating personality, Kalimba is a game perhaps a little short, but fun and capable of making many expletives to those who decide to complete it in every aspect.

A bizarre mix of platforming, shooter and rhythm game. Challenging, original and really fun.

A game with a very strong personality, which it can reject for the ways in which it chooses to tell its story and is certainly much less immediately "readable" than many other narrative adventures but offers maturity and depth of content in dealing with not simple themes.

A moving and incredibly poignant game, that succeeds in what it's trying to accomplish despite its many missteps. If you're into interactive narration, you should definitely give it a try.

8 / 10.0 - The Turing Test
Oct 2, 2016

The mechanics are fun and narration is interesting, but the puzzle design is quite basic and the end result is a fun but limited puzzle game.

8 / 10.0 - Typoman
Feb 22, 2018

Typoman Revised is a brainy and well-designed platformer, offering few hours of clever fun and some degree of replayability. The Switch version is by far the better one, more polished and with some new ingredients that will please the players. Unfortunately, the touch screen is not longer supported (but it was on the Wii U version).

Despite some questionable design choices, The Mummy Demastered is a fun game, imbued with good exploration and action moments, in a perfect metroidvania dress.

Nov 16, 2014

The game is still recommended for those who love platform games strongly focused on action and with a hint of puzzles.

AER Memories of Old is a pretty basic adventure title, with simple puzzles and no real action elements. You can expect a relaxing experience spanning a couple of hours, with some intriguing ideas, a distinctive personality and some touching moments.
