Little Problems is an adorable detective game developed by Posh Cat Studios and published by Amplified Games. It features gameplay similar to titles such as The Case of the Golden Idol and the Duck Detective duology, in which players have to examine a static scene for clues about the identities of people involved, the nature of the current problem, and what characters’ goals and issues are.

The Preposterous Awesomeness of Everything is a satirical point-and-click adventure game, about progress, politics and propulsive nozzles. It features fun verbs, irrelevant ducks and satirical shenanigans.
Four Last Things

Released today on Steam, Casebook 1899 – The Leipzig Murders is a point-and-click murder mystery set in Germany at the very end of the 19th century.

Released today on Steam, Casebook 1899 – The Leipzig Murders is a point-and-click murder mystery set in Germany at the very end of the 19th century.

You play Detective Joseph Kreiser, working alongside public prosecutor Gustav Möbius, unraveling four different cases in an industrial city caught between progress and turmoil.

Whenever a game tries to channel that old DOS adventure energy, I get excited. Growing up on Sierra and LucasArts, there was nothing quite like the ritual of clicking every pixel, stumbling onto a clue, and piecing puzzles together with your brain instead of a waypoint marker. Casebook 1899 embraces that tradition. It doesn’t hold your hand, it doesn’t let you skip forward if you’re stumped. Some players will curse it. Others—like me—will thrive.

The presentation hits hard. VGA-inspired visuals mean chunky pixels, but there’s real detail in the environments. Every crime scene looks meticulously staged, every cutscene animated with care. This game has been in the works for four years, and it shows. It feels like one person’s love letter to an era, which is exactly what it is—Gregor Müller, a solo dev working out of Leipzig, put this whole thing together under the Homo Narrans Studio label.

Then there’s the voice acting. Full German audio with English subtitles—and that choice makes all the difference. Hearing the dialogue in the language of the setting grounds you right there on the cobblestones of Leipzig. It’s not an afterthought. It’s atmosphere.

The soundtrack, composed by Samantha Foster, leans gentle and ambient. It doesn’t dominate, but it pulls you deeper into each investigation.

Mechanically, it’s pure mouse-driven adventuring. Keyboard shortcuts exist, but if you’re hoping to slump on the couch with a gamepad, forget it. Honestly, that’s the right call. Point-and-click games are best played hunched over a desk, notebook at hand, diagrams scrawled in the margins. And yes—there’s a notebook system in the game itself, along with a deduction board that can steer you toward multiple endings depending on what you conclude.

Technically, it’s refreshingly inclusive: native Windows, Mac, and Linux builds. No Proton needed. And it’ll run on just about anything—a dual-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, half a gig of disk space. Steam Deck? Easy. Your grandma’s old laptop? Probably.

Launch price is C$21.14 (US$17.99, with a 10% discount running through September 11). That’s more than fair for a game born from Kickstarter funding and the grit of one developer. You’re not just buying a detective game—you’re buying a carefully reconstructed slice of 1899, pixel by pixel, voice by voice.

Don’t forget your torch. You’re going to need it.

A Tale of Two Kingdoms is a point-and-click adventure that easily feels like it could have come out in the early nineties, during the golden age of point-and-click adventures.

What dreams are made of is the stuff of nightmares in this new point-and-click adventure. Delve deep into realms both fantastical and terrifying, and use the power of lucid dreaming to solve puzzles, explore, and contend with eerie adversaries in your search for the brother you thought had died.

This is the best game I played so far this year. Try it out, but I warn you, you will probably get hooked badly.

It is a text adventure mystery puzzle with light horror elements. But I would recommend it even to those who normally dislike horror games.

An enhanced version is listed to be released on Steam in 2026. It looks really cool as well. This version is free to play.

Only thing I had problems with was saving. On my browser (firefox on android) I had to "save to file", since the save slot buttons did not work correctly for me. But yeah, just save to file and you will be good.

Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers is the follow-up to 2019's Arcade Spirits, a visual novel of love and pixels, in which you seek friendship and romance while working in an arcade. Now the tables are turned, as you seek friendship and romance while PLAYING in an arcade!
