Pure puzzlers are BACK with Order of the Sinking Star, a delightfully challenging and constantly surprising new addition to the genre from the creative mind that brought us Braid and The Witness.
Allogloom
A macabre take on other worlds and how one perceives reality, Allogloom is a creepy-cute point-and-click treat for fans of haunting tales.
Nighthawks
The passion behind Nighthawks is evident in every delicious drop of dialogue and heartfelt character moment throughout its impressive runtime. It’s the kind of game that will sink its teeth into you with its addictive RPG mechanics and mesmerize you into staying up way past your bedtime.
Too restrictive to be engaging and not subtle enough to feel believable, lily's world XD looks great and is well-intentioned but fundamentally distrusts its players regarding both story and gameplay, as if keeping parental controls on at all times.
Not content with simply treading water, Frogwares has resurfaced with The Sinking City 2, a prequel that’s equal parts edge-of-your-seat survival horror and Lovecraftian mystery, making for a much-improved sophomore series outing.
Toem 2

Though never offering much challenge, Theropods is a creatively designed and beautifully realized adventure through a gorgeous fantasy world of humans, dinosaurs, and aliens that you’ll wish you had more opportunity to enjoy.
Player choices won’t have much influence on the outcome, but snooping around where you shouldn’t is as appealing as ever in Lost & Found, the short but graphically enhanced spin-off of This Bed We Made.
Creepshow
Creepshow looks and sounds the part, but it fails to live up to its storied past with short episodes that don’t pack a punch and have too many bugs (and not the creepy-crawly kind).
Even with some design choices better left on the cutting room floor, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes deserves consideration for its surreal mystery and some truly creative, thematically rich puzzles. For those who don’t mind a side of the avant-garde with their video games, it’s an experience well worth untangling.
