The game, however, has been patched a few times, so right now playing it should be much more enjoyable experience. Just give it a try and you might be nicely surprised. After all, so many things may go wrong and result in you being switched into a frog. To escape from the room we need to master the magical language that allows us to manipulate the environment.
Messing with magic is very rewarding and sometimes produces really funny outcomes. We play here is as a run-down cop who hit rock-bottom due to his drinking addiction and even his partner despises him.
We have to interrogate witnesses, collect the clues and in the end bring the inquire to a satisfactory conclusion. Apart from the atmosphere and great writing, the game has one very unique feature — the world there seems alive. All the characters have their own personalities, aim and purpose, moving about the house as they please.
All in all, every home-grown detective should check this game out. Hoosegow by Ben Collins-Sussman and Jack Welch allows us to have a first-hand experience of a titular jail cell. Spy stories definitely has their charm. But maybe not so much if you suddenly find yourself with a lamp pointed directly at your face and strange people asking you weird questions. Spider and Web by Andrew Plotkin begins quite unexcitingly — the protagonist, a tourist, faces a closed door but as he tries to leave the alley, a voice begins shouting at him and saying that it is all a lie and we need to tell the truth.
And thus the intricate mystery unfolds as we want to outsmart our interrogator while trying to figure out what really happened, since the player is pretty much in the dark all the time. The premise of the game is certainly original and the execution is equally good. Spider and Web is undoubtedly confusing, difficult and unforgiving, especially later, but the more you play it, the more you appreciate the ingenuity.
A bit of hilarity is always welcome. The epic quest starts as our protagonist, an orc Grunk, finds out that a pig from his farm is missing. During the chase after an unruly animal, the hero falls into some kind of dungeon, so he now has two objectives — find the pig and return home. What makes this game so enjoyable is the narration — Grunk uses broken English to describe everything that happens around him and his comments are often completely disarming.
Definitely a gem in the comedic genre. The puzzles are nice but it is the story that really attracts people into games. The way to overcome it involves taking various drugs, which send the poor guy on a weird and psychedelic journey into his own mind. The game is ambiguous and nearly everything we encounter may be understood as a metaphor for something, but it is precisely why Losing Your Grip is so enjoyable. As for the puzzles, they are rather difficult.
Still, they are also really well integrated into the game, so fighting against them proves to be very rewarding. Basically, a title worth looking into. It takes great skills to leave a haunting impression on the player while using nothing more than words. The game takes place in a 15 th century monastery, which seems to be the only haven free of the plague that rages throughout Italy.
Not for long though… Vespers puts us in the shoes of an abbot, who over the course of a few days sees his fellow monks descend into madness as the disease spreads and the whole world goes to hell.
That is, however, not his only problem, since he needs to conduct an investigation regarding the murder that has been committed on the premises. The tone of the game is very dark, gruesome and depressing. A truly horrifying, but thought-provoking experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression on the player. We assume here the role of an aristocrat and the current owner of Meldrew Hall, an old mansion full of secrets. Soon, however, as you find more and more bizarre items you find out that your family is cursed.
Now you have no other choice but to discover the nature of the curse and try to lift it if possible. The game is huge, well-written and thoroughly enjoyable, even though some puzzles prove to be a hard nut to crack. Still, it is one of those classics that any fan of IF should experience for themselves.
We assume here a role of a student, who struggles with writing his dissertation. Anyone who ever tried forcing themselves to write knows perfectly well how hard that is, especially if the Internet or a window overlooking a campus is in the vicinity. Will our hero be strong enough to fulfil his quest and keep his girlfriend? That motivates us to abandon any distractions and solve puzzles that allow us to write.
Nothing better than a 19th century setting and a bit of mystery. We assume here the role of a detective, whose initial objective is to investigate the theft of a diamond. Soon, however, we branch out to make an inquiry about the kidnapping and murder which is just a preview of a much more elaborate mystery. The game is definitely fun to play but what really distinguished it from many other is the focus on historical details. No wonder, since the author is a historian. The exposition itself is as truthful to the original one as possible and features photographs from the period, which significantly deepens the experience.
Lovecraftian mythos have inspired many authors, game developers included. Among them was Michael S. Gentry, who in released Anchorhead, which is a horror-adventure that no fan of the Cthulhu mythos should pass over. The game is set in year in a titular coastal town. The protagonist and her husband had just moved into an old mansion, which the husband has recently inherited.
Soon, however, the man becomes more and more obsessed with the past of his family, which apparently dabbed into occult. Our heroine needs to uncover what is really going on here and stop the evil-doers before one of the Great Old Ones visits for tea. Anchorhead has been widely praised, mainly for its atmosphere as well as for well-written dialogues and gripping narration.
Download or Play it Here. The strength and charm of some games lies in their simplicity. At the said time our phone rings and wakes us up.
It seems that we had overslept horribly. All we have to do now is to get up and leave the flat as soon as possible. Sounds simple enough, right?
Yeah, but just wait till the ending… This is one of those productions in which seeing the conclusion totally changes the perception of the whole. I recommend playing it if only for the twist at the end. There were numerous occasions in many series to witness the aftermath of the explosion.
