Shardlight is a post-apocalyptic game, that I can find minimal information about, and the same four images over and over again. But I really like what I see, and I'm very interested to see how it works out. I love the post-apocalyptic genre, and the 'world of junk and ruin' aesthetic looks solid here. I can't speak for the story, but here's hoping.

unprintable MAGENTA
Developer: Fitz
Publisher: (Unknown)
Another link I got from Indie Game News. Unprintable Magenta has a strange, low-production visual style that piques my curiosity. It looks to take place in a modern, superhero setting, and has plenty of room for silliness. I appreciate that.

Thimbleweed Park
Developer: Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick
Publisher: Kickstarter, kind of.
Maniac Mansion is back! Or at least, the creators of that classic game are back, with a very successful kickstarter for a new game called Thimbleweed Park. Viewing the promo video for said kickstarter, I think we can count on a true retro delight. There are hilarious referential jokes all throughout the kickstarter page. Have a look if you have any interest at all.

And one more game with celebrity developers: a horror game from the makers of the Clock Tower series and the director of JuOn (the grudge). That was enough to get my attention. Then I got scared after viewing some of the images. Maybe I don't have the guts to play this game. Do you?

Bloody damn that's a fine collection here. This reminds me that I have to start/finish "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream."
ReplyDeleteI've always felt that point and click games were an under-appreciated genre, but that might just be my fault for not looking hard enough.
