Veritas By: Glitch Games A little while back, I wrote about Glitch Games' next point-and-click adventure, Veritas. At that point, though, not much was known besides a vague plot description and a couple of screenshots and GIFS. Oh and a surprisingly detailed fake website for the company in the game, Veritas Industries. Well, they've been working hard on the game and recently sent a short demo build out to some folks, including…
The Room: Old Sins By: Fireproof Games Update: The game is now out. See my full review here. Fireproof's The Room series has come quite a a long way since we were first introduced to their clever puzzle boxes that felt perfect to manipulate on a touchscreen. From an entire game taking place on one table in the original game, to exploring a whole mansion full of rooms in the third, the…
Agent A: A puzzle in disguise By: Yak & Co. Yak & Co's stylish spy adventure game, Agent A, released back in 2015, but that was only the first two chapters. I was still very impressed with what I saw and couldn't wait for the rest of the game. Last year, we got another chapter, Ruby's Trap, that packed a lot of puzzles into a small space, almost like a room escape…
Thimbleweed Park By: Ron Gilbert Update: Thimbleweed Park is now out on iOS! I've heard that Ron Gilbert's Thimbleweed Park is inspired by the television show, Twin Peaks, but I didn't really know what that meant until I started watching the 1990 show about a week ago. While I'm still early on in the show, its quirkiness has piqued my interest in the game. And there's obviously some X-Files stuff going on…
Lately, I've been very interested in solitaire card games that offer a quick play when you have a few minutes to spare, or a hook that keeps me playing until I lose track of time. Being in portrait mode and playable with one hand is a must if it's going to keep me coming back for more, as I tend to only use my iPad for long, immersive games like point-and-click adventures.…
Bertram Fiddle: Episode 2: A Bleaker Predicklement By: Rumpus Animation Update: The game is out! See my review here. If you liked the first episode of the puntastic point-and-click adventure, Bertram Fiddle, you'll be happy to hear that after many delays, the second episode, A Bleaker Predicklement, is finally releasing this Thursday, August 24th. While I've not completed the game yet, I have spent a good chunk of time with it and…
All That Remains By: Glitch Games It should be no surprise to anyone by now that I'm a big fan of Glitch Games. I've been following their work since they released a little demo they made during a game jam, and they've since proven themselves to be quite the devilish adventure game designers. Tricky puzzles abound in all of their games. And while Forever Lost might be over, they're not done exploring…
A Normal Lost Phone By: Plug In Digital (Accidental Queens) Update: The game is now available! You can download it here and see my review here and my walkthrough guide here. I just finished playing the upcoming game by Accidental Queens called A Normal Lost Phone. It was originally made as part of a game jam and then expanded into a commercial release. I didn't play the original, so I can't speak…
