The world of Shardlight is much darker than what we've seen in any old-school point & click adventure.
Adventure games were once thought dead, but it turns out they were just getting ready for a big comeback. There are now so many to choose from that we run down great adventure games recently released that will test your puzzle solving skills and your capacity for critical decision making.
Adventure game specialist Wadjet Eye Games has announced its fifth and final Rosa Blackwell game will launch on PC in April, wrapping up the series which began in 2006. The psychic will return with The Blackwell Epiphany, once again assisted by a ghostly sidekick as they try to save lost souls.
Wadjet Eye Games has done fine work to keep adventure games, publishing and also developing many respectable click 'em ups. If you've been stuck under a rock, perhaps trying bizarre combinations of items in your pockets to lift it, you can now pick up a healthy chunk of Wadjet's catalogue for as little as an Abe. A new pay-what-you-want bundle offers seven games published by Wadjet for as little as $5, including sci-fi noir Gemini Rue and Resonance.
Do you like rickety robots? Do you like adventure games? Do you- no, I'm not talking about Machinarium. The rickety robot adventure game in question is Primordia, a grimmer and grimier affair which you can try out now in a demo released ahead of next week's launch on PC.
Wadjet Eye Games is making quite a name for itself as an indie adventure game publisher with the likes of Gemini Rue and Resonance. It's worth, then, keeping an eye on its next release, Wormwood Studios' post-apocalyptic Primordia, which is now due in December.
Indie Royale unleashes yet another 'pay-what-you-want' indie game bundle that includes The Blackwell Trilogy: Remastered, Eets, The Oil Blue, and Dino D-Day.
Wadjet Eye Games CEO Dave Gilbert discusses the trials and tribulations of developing and publishing indie adventure games, Gemini Rue, and the future of the genre.
