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!

And the Belgian Game of the Year Award goes to.... "KOIRA" by @studiotolima.bsky.social, and published by @dontnod.bsky.social! bsky.app/profile/belg...

It's Sunday morning at "The Séance of Blake Manor" by @spookydoorway.bsky.social, and I'm starting to get the hang of this investigation!

@kylewbanks.com is a BAFTA Breakthrough! His game "Farewell North" was one of my favorite games in 2024. In case you missed it, here's my review again!

"The Séance of Blake Manor" by @spookydoorway.bsky.social is making me extremely nervous. Of course, that's what a spooky game SHOULD do! the-point-n-clicker.blogspot.com/2025/11/new-...

Check out @adventuregamegeek.bsky.social's overview of the @adventurex.bsky.social exhibitors! By the way, who's that playing @duckmadeofwood.bsky.social"s "D3AD HAND" in the background???

Pascal Tekaia reviewed "Casebook 1899: The Leipzig Murders" by @homonarransstudio.bsky.social for @aghotspot.bsky.social! Great sleuthing material that kept myself fully entertained for a solid 8 hours, and I hope we might get some more murder games from Homo Narrans Studio in the future!

“Charming cartoon spy adventure is frequently fun, though its unapologetically retro presentation may leave some feeling torn” AGH’s @little-writer.bsky.social review of Splittown adventuregamehotspot.com/review/5369/... #indiegame #adventuregame #pcgame

"Splittown"’s retro spy adventure charms you with its pixel art presentation, humor and puzzles, though uncovering all of its optional content and background information requires quite the deep infiltration.

Hands up if you’re having @adventurex.bsky.social withdrawals today 🤚🏻

Finally on the train back home, so now my mind can relax and contemplate a series of @adventurex.bsky.social blogposts... 🤔 Great to meet these two amazing people behind it all, @summerb76.bsky.social and @tallstorygames.bsky.social!

Packed and ready for @adventurex.bsky.social in London this weekend! #advx2025

What brand of coffee is @taletwisted.bsky.social drinking to create such a beautiful piece of art? Seriously, MORE Maria, please!

Finished "Foolish Mortals" by @inklingwood.bsky.social and now I'm dying for more!

Playthrough post: Halfway through and completely addicted to "Foolish Mortals" by @inklingwood.bsky.social (There might be spoilers...)

Playthrough post: I've started "Foolish Mortals" by @inklingwood.bsky.social! (There might be spoilers...)

Finished "The Drifter" after an intense finale...

Thanks to our friends at @jumpdashroll.bsky.social for the sneak peek write-up! www.jumpdashroll.com/article/adve...

"Ghost on the Shore" guides you on a beautiful island hike with a spectral companion while hunting for long-forgotten family secrets that continue to live on.

About thirty deaths later on "The Drifter", I've reached Chapter Six...

The jam is over, and the winner of the $109 Adventure Game Challenge is...a tie! Intern's First Day by @shdon.com itch.io/jam/109-adve... -and- Eulogy for Nonno by @gugames.eu itch.io/jam/109-adve...

Since "The Drifter" was released back in July, I've heard nothing but good things about it. Game Of The Year things, even. I bought the game as well, since the concept definitely intrigued me. But it took me a while to get to. Finally, the day has come and I started my first playthrough!

We're in the final week of voting for the $109 Adventure Game Challenge. Exciting times for the contestants! I don't know about the other two judges, but my results are in for a while now. Who will take away the prize money? Just a little while longer... itch.io/jam/109-adve...

Case closed on "The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel"!

@damlthesquidtopus.bsky.social reviewed many popular games this last year: Old Skies, Loco Motive, The Drifter, Elroy and the Aliens... You can find these and many more on his AGH author page: adventuregamehotspot.com/author/69/sa...

The plot thickens in "The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel"!

The expanded world of "Agatha Christie – Death on the Nile" by @microidsoff.bsky.social might feel a bit TOO big at times, but the new playable character does add to the story and nothing gives a greater sense of accomplishment than solving a mystery as Hercule Poirot.

In my list of classic playthroughs I've come to an old friend from my youth: "The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel". It's been a while now, so let's see how much of it I still remember during this replay!

And so my task of judging the $109 Adventure Game Challenge entries is concluded! Some great games, some basic ones, and sadly one unfinished. Funny games, beautiful games, and games where I thought "What the heck is this?" Curious to find out how the other judges rated them! itch.io/jam/109-adve...
