Thimbleweed Park ๐Ÿ˜ƒ A great point and click adventure by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick. I love it a lot

I just got The Last Door yesterday, interesting story (at least in the first part) and it gets the creepy atmosphere just right, though the puzzles are pretty easy.

Also, Lair of the Clockwork God is awesome and everyone should play it.

I haven't played them yet, but they all have at least Very Positive reviews

Yeap, I can definitely recommend Gemini Rue, The Blackwell Games, Technobabylon, and Unavowed. All of them are decent and hearken back to the good old days of point-and-click adventure games.

Has anyone played Roadwarden yet? I'm downloading the demo now, but it's 33% off and relatively new (released in September '22).

Planning on playing it this month for the monthly adventure game club I organize. It looks really cool and I think it's getting some sort of spinoff or game set in the same universe later this year
