2025 was shockingly good for class point-and-click adventures, and Elroy And The Aliens seems like it flew under the radar despite being exceptionally polished. A very Lucasarts-inspired romp with good voice acting, animation, puzzle design, story pacing, every part moves as it should. A rare thing

Elroy and the Aliens is one of my top games of the year. I played this game as a Demo in January steam next fest and ranked it an A. Now, almost a year later finishing the full game, I can say I was wrong then. This is an S tier game. @elroythegame.com You made something special Thank You!

Loved the Ontos reveal from @frictionalgames.bsky.social at @thegameawards.com! Best announcement so far. As a huge fan of SOMA, I can’t wait to play this. store.steampowered.com/app/2924520/...

I was looking over a list of some of the best games from 2025 and realizing that there are quite a few more that are still on my list to play which have received great reviews from critics and gamers. I've seen videos of these, but I haven't played them. But these 10 games look great! (A thread)

Direct control with a gamepad is slowly becoming my favorite way to play point and click adventure games.

The narrative games convention @adventurex.bsky.social is around the corner. I wish I could be there in person but sadly can't make it to London this time. But man, lots of great games on the Steam event page, the adventure game genre is going strong! store.steampowered.com/sale/adventu...

Had an awesome time in the 158. episode of my DEV. LIFE show with @elroythegame.com @tadej.bsky.social whom we talked about how important patience is, when playing through games, and how point n click as a genre can get to a wider audience. youtube.com/watch?v=Zv6l... #DEVLIFE #gamedev

Today, at around 10.00 AM GMT+1 time I will be streaming the 158. episode of my DEV. LIFE show in which I will be talking with @elroythegame.com . Looking forward to see you all there live soon! Twitch link in the comments! #DEVLIFE #gamedevs

I haven't played this much RTS since the 90s. I usually play 8 vs. 8 or smaller but you can see plenty of massive 100 vs. 100 online matches on YouTube. Also: It's free and open-source. youtu.be/HVZIEaIKqs0?...

Love this VentureBeat article on @elroythegame.com! Behind the scenes on how we bootstrapped a high production value game with a small team. And why point and click adventure games are awesome <3. venturebeat.com/business/mot...

Rant about streaming services: So many credits get buried by “you might also like” and autoplay at the end of shows and movies. Not to mention the emotional whiplash from the rough vibe switch. I refuse to accept that culturally, we need to be this aggressive about engagement. Am I wrong?
