Shout out for my least viewed review posts

Once in a while I check the popularity of the games I have reviewed on this blog. Here are a couple of games I feel deserve a bit more attention.

The Legend of Skye (2024 - Point & Pixel Adventures)

The SCUMM-style interface and some poorly clued objectives might not appeal to modern players used to easier games, but for old-school genre fans, The Legend of Skye provides a wonderful dose of nostalgia, transporting you back to the golden days of point-and-click classics. 

Enypnion Redreamed (2023 - Sinking Sheep)

Experienced adventurers can probably cruise through Enypnion ReDreamed in their sleep, though some of the logic puzzles might be responsible for a few nightmares. Overall, though, it’s a short but charming little journey through the subconscious that may just remind you of your own childhood nighttime fantasies.
 

This Bed We Made (2023 - Lowbirth Games)

This Bed We Made sacrifices some snooping freedom and player challenge for a more linear narrative, but there are plenty of thrilling discoveries to unpack in this compelling Hitchcockian mystery.   

INDIKA (2024 - Odd Meter)

INDIKA is an eclectic mix of graphic styles and gameplay about a young nineteenth-century Russian nun that will keep you glued to your seat with its challenging but mature reflection on faith and human morality. 

Sanya (2024 - helpnode) 

Sanya’s very simple gameplay won’t challenge anyone over the age of its young protagonist, but even for adults, this quaint, lovely side-scrolling adventure is like a nostalgic trip back to childhood.  

Twilight Oracle (2024 - Cosmic Void) 

Twilight Oracle is a nostalgic ride through a zany fantasy world, though even its witty banter can’t hide the fact it’s a short story with a simple plot only good for a single afternoon’s fun.

"Enypnion ReDreamed": my Adventure Game Hotspot review!

Read my full review on Adventure Game Hotspot. 

Excerpt: Dream worlds are ideal for adventure game craziness, because anything goes, so you shouldn’t be at all surprised to suddenly be confronted by a living crescent moon lounging with a book under a floor lamp. While I’m usually more a fan of realistic settings, Enypnion ReDreamed reminded me of a childhood filled with my own wildest dreams. The gameplay is quite easy overall, with casual inventory puzzles and fetch quests, but the occasional logic puzzle is so hard it’s sure to keep you occupied for a while, perhaps even frustratingly so. But then you’ll solve it, and be rewarded with another beautiful cinematic that inspires you to push on to the end. It’s a short game even with these few head-scratchers, but it really doesn’t need to be longer, because there’s only so far you can stretch out a story in which you move from one location to the next without really knowing what exactly is going on. Nevertheless, there’s a fun and charming world to explore for a few hours, and the whole experience really does pass by like a relaxing dream sequence, even if it too will likely soon fade from memory.
