Thimbleweed Park

Pixel art

A loving throwback to classic LucasArts point-and-click adventures, where you swap between five characters to solve a strange murder in an odd small town. Dark humor, meta jokes and interlocking puzzles are its main appeal.

The Darkside Detective

Lots of humour

A funny pixel-art point-and-click adventure where Detective Francis McQueen solves short, self-contained supernatural cases. Quirky puzzles and pop-culture nods keep it light and charming rather than frustrating.

Paradigm

Lots of humour

An absurd, surreal point-and-click comedy adventure set in a post-apocalyptic Eastern European country, where you solve puzzles as the mutant hero Paradigm. Its bizarre humor and a candy-vomiting genetically engineered sloth give it its charm.

MTV's Beavis and Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity

Lots of humour

A point-and-click adventure where you guide Beavis and Butt-head around town, solving absurd puzzles amid the crude, irreverent humor of the cartoon. Its appeal lies in the disrespectful tone and faithful fan service to the show.

Ben There, Dan That!

Lots of humour

A British point-and-click adventure where two mates stumble through an absurd alien-invasion plot full of quirky inventory puzzles. It lives on rapid-fire gags, genre parody and gleefully silly tastelessness.

Edna & Harvey: The Breakout

Strong, story-driven narrative

A classic LucasArts-style point-and-click adventure in which Edna escapes from a psychiatric hospital together with her talking stuffed rabbit Harvey. Dark humor, quirky characters and clever inventory puzzles define the experience.
