A rather fast conclusion to @arumastudios.bsky.social's "Shadows of the Afterland"...

Okay, perhaps not the most representative screenshot of "Shadows of the Afterland" by @arumastudios.bsky.social, but I just HAD to highlight this recap system! Awesome! And oh, please read about my further adventures as Carolina the ghost on my blog!

Here's one I've been looking forward to for a while now! "Shadows of the Afterland" by @arumastudios.bsky.social is a perfect fit for everyone who loves classic style pixel art point 'n click adventure games. the-point-n-clicker.blogspot.com/2026/02/new-...

"TR-49" by @jon.inkle.co of @inkle.co definitely isn't for everyone. It's certainly not a traditional point 'n click adventure game. It's a narrative, mouse-controlled puzzle game that offers quite the challenge and has a very intricate storyline. the-point-n-clicker.blogspot.com/2026/02/new-...

A tricky finale on "Spellcasting 101: Sorcerers Get All The Girls", a weird combination of absolute fun and total frustration.

I went island hopping in "Spellcasting 101: Sorcerers Get All The Girls" and boy, they surely do get them...

"The Dark Rites of Arkham" is another compelling thriller from @postmodernadv.bsky.social, blending Lovecraftian influence, retro-styled production and classic adventure gameplay into a beautifully eerie, wonderfully written murder mystery. the-point-n-clicker.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-...

@postmodernadv.bsky.social's "The Dark Rites of Arkham" and @arumastudios.bsky.social's "Shadows of the Afterland", of course!

"Every free, prosperous civilization will eventually be destroyed by that small fraction of its people who find no satisfaction in anything but anger." - Dean Koontz, "The Friend of the Family"

It’s not as open-ended as other narrative RPGs and lacks a believable ending, but "Rue Valley" has an appealing graphic novel aesthetic and engagingly human time-looping story that avoids becoming too repetitive or frustrating each time it resets.

NEW EPISODE! We're back! Matt is joined by Seoirse from @adventgamepod.bsky.social and @little-writer.bsky.social to talk about The Dagger of Amon-Ra! @filmstoriespodnet.bsky.social

Check out the Ask Us About Loom podcast on Friday, January 30, for an in-depth (and spoiler filled!) discussion about The Dagger of Amon Ra! It's not as bad as archeologist Dr. Pippin Carter and Cairo Museum representative Dr. Ptahsheptut "Tut" Smith arguing about the dagger, but it'll be feisty!

Ranking our top ten adventure games was close to impossible; not to mention selecting them above all other amazing titles released in 2025! Find out which ones made the cut in our podcast/video below!

I'm filling the gap in my Legend Entertainment knowledge with "Spellcasting 101: Sorcerers Get All The Girls". It's for research purposes only, believe me... the-point-n-clicker.blogspot.com/2026/01/clas...

I finished "Perfect Tides" by @meredithgran.com but seemed to have missed lots of optional content... the-point-n-clicker.blogspot.com/2026/01/fini...

The 2025 @agotyawards.bsky.social have been handed out! Congratulations to all the winners! I was part of the international jury and presented my top three adventure games in this video. @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social @inklingwood.bsky.social @spookydoorway.bsky.social

I'll be there! Will you?

A totally different point 'n click game, but quite an adorable one. Helping a little stop-motion mouse escape its hand-crafted maze prison in "Éalú" by @emfish11.bsky.social will warm your heart like a cheese fondue on a cold winter evening.

Same for me! Some of you might already know my personal top three, but you haven't seen them in the way I'll be presenting them to you during the Final Event! I hope you'll like it.

Perfect answer.

It's fall in "Perfect Tides" by @meredithgran.com, and lots of drama has passed by...

Since @meredithgran.com will release its sequel "Station to Station" soon, it's the perfect time to play the first "Perfect Tides"! the-point-n-clicker.blogspot.com/2026/01/new-...

The 2025 @agotyawards.bsky.social will be handed out on Monday, January 19th! Watch me present my top three as part of the international jury.

Tune in on January 30th for quite the archeological dig into The Dagger of Amon Ra!

Finished "Les Manley in: Search for The King" but not without lots of help!

I wish Julia Minamata would remake text parser game "Les Manley in: Search for The King". Then I wouldn't have to work backwards to figure stuff out...

It will likely leave you praying for more, as "Scholar Adventure: Mystery of Silence" takes you on a very short and simple but intriguingly eerie mission in a mysterious abbey teeming with secrets. the-point-n-clicker.blogspot.com/2026/01/scho...

Already kind of regretting starting "Les Manley in: Search for The King", but let's just sit this through and try to beat these taciturn text parser mechanics!

Don't forget the Nominees of the AGOTY Awards 2025 at 7 PM (CET) 1 PM (EST) 10 AM (PST) 5 AM (AEST) 👉 m.youtube.com/watch?v=dNeA...

Wondering which games The Point 'n Clicker is looking forward to the most this year? Take a look at this 2026 adventure game anticipation post! @inkle.co @losttoken.bsky.social @sparrowland.bsky.social @trueascension.bsky.social @postmodernadv.bsky.social @arumastudios.bsky.social

I'm scared... but I'll take on the task anyway. Let's (try to) figure this thing out!

Tune in for the announcement of the nominees for the Adventure Game Of The Year Awards on January 7th! @agotyawards.bsky.social

People recommended me "The Roottrees Are Dead" because I enjoyed playing "Return of the Obra Dinn" so much. This is far from a traditional point 'n click adventure, but I had a blast playing this excellent deduction game! @roottrees.com the-point-n-clicker.blogspot.com/2026/01/new-...

Thank you all for an amazing Adventure Game year at Adventure Game Hotspot www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKF8... #indiegame #indiegames #adventuregame #adventuregamehotspot #cozygame @little-writer.bsky.social

I've finished my replay of "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis"!

Here are my top ten adventure games of 2025! @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social @inklingwood.bsky.social @blakemanorgame.bsky.social @adhocstudio.com @dave.powerhoof.com @kathyrain2.bsky.social @blueprincegame.bsky.social @endofthesungame.bsky.social @grundislav.games

Played through two of the "paths" in "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis"...

I'm replaying "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis"! Follow my playthrough on my blog The Point 'n Clicker!

"Not Another Weekend" started it all for me: a call for testers, I answered, had a blast, tested some more games, then got my official reviewer job after sharing playthrough posts on social media. But it's an awesomely funny game in itself, so do your face muscles a favor, go play it and laugh away!

While "Dispatch" isn't a regular adventure game, and definitely nothing like a classic point 'n click, the sheer amount of fun I had with it grants it a place in my top ten!

"Scott Whiskers: The Search for the Golden Cat" takes you on an entertaining point-and-click jungle adventure that improves significantly on its predecessor in a number of important ways.

"The Dagger of Amon Ra"... I played that for the first time about 30 years ago. It was interesting to cross daggers with someone who has only recently played it for the first time 😉

On the SEVENTH day of #Pointandclickmas Santa Villainy gave to meee... 3 x copies of Feria D'Arles on Steam! 🎄 Visit the competition link to enter: buff.ly/swga2g4 🎁 Winners drawn on 25th December! ❄️ @tomakasatnav.bsky.social | @mattfrith.bsky.social #Giveaway #Indiegames

"Dispatch" is basically an interactive animated superhero series, and two hours into it, I'm simply enjoying the heck out of it! the-point-n-clicker.blogspot.com/2025/12/new-...

Everybody's posting this like it's 2026 already...

Heads up, voice actors! Adventure4Life Studios are starting auditions for the next chapters of "Plot of the Druid". There are quite a few characters to voice, and a British accent is required. If you’d like to audition, please send them a message at [email protected].

With a little light puzzling and lots of dialogue, the retro-styled "Carnival" by @beyondbooleans.bsky.social will give you goosebumps when the masks begin to come off of Venice’s seemingly charming, tradition-loving citizens. Check it out, leave your own review and support this cool indie dev!

After an astounding 25 hours of gaming, "The Séance of Blake Manor" by @spookydoorway.bsky.social is over! And frankly, that makes me kind of sad... because it was so much fun!
