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.

"Twilight Oracle": my Adventure Game Hotspot review!

Read my full review on Adventure Game Hotspot. 

Excerpt: While Twilight Oracle is certainly fun to puzzle through, the plot is little more than an easy excuse to present a bunch of fetch quests and inventory puzzles. These are simple enough and don't take much thought, especially since the game isn't all that big. As long as you click on everything and everyone you see - often more than once, mind! - you shouldn't have much of a problem. I got through the story myself in only three hours. And there lies the rub, because I wanted the fun to last, I wanted to see more, I wanted to utilize the kids' special abilities more than once. Without spoiling anything, there's a huge deception going on and an ulterior motive for having sent these kids on their mission, but the villain in the story isn't much of a mastermind. So if you're looking to delve into the equivalent of a full interactive novel, you're better off looking elsewhere, but taken as a short story, Twilight Oracle really works and you'll definitely enjoy it while it lasts.
