Brings what grabs you about Mystery Castle: puzzles to figure out, a pure single-player experience and a focus on a single character.

A short point-and-click puzzle adventure in which a little gnome must avert a collision threatening his home asteroid. Its surreal, handcrafted visuals and inventive click-based puzzles give it its charm.

Macdows 95

Bright, upbeat tone

In Macdows 95 you tackle absurd puzzles built around an invented operating system whose logic deliberately bends away from everyday computing. The charm lies in its unexpected solutions and the playful, offbeat take on interface design.

Missing Translation

Focus on a single character

Missing Translation is a simple puzzle game with no tutorials and no text or spoken dialogue, so you work out its rules yourself. Its atmosphere, soundtrack and art style carry the experience.

Auditorium

Gameplay comes before story

You bend beams of light through abstract levels, dye them to match colored containers and fill them. Each filled container adds another instrument to the music, so you build the soundtrack piece by piece yourself.

Traverser

Focus on a single character

You explore hand-drawn 2D locations in this indie adventure and solve puzzles that tie simple actions together. I know little about the specifics of this indie title, so this rating rests mostly on the provided metadata.

Linelight

Bright, upbeat tone

A minimalist puzzle game where you guide a glowing line through a world made of lines. Its puzzles introduce new ideas gently and feel calm and elegant.

Samorost 1

Bright, upbeat tone

You guide a tiny space gnome through a whimsical, hand-drawn universe where clicking on the right objects and combining ideas solves charming puzzles. It is a short, dreamy trip carried by a melancholic soundtrack.

Wurroom

Focus on a single character

Wurroom feels more like an interactive art piece than a conventional adventure. You explore strange worlds and unclaimed realities as a lost Hand, and the game costs nothing to play.

Ligo

Focus on a single character

Ligo is an exploratory Sokoban puzzler where you merge, cut and push small creatures around. Each area of the world introduces new rules and handcrafted puzzles, with mysteries to uncover.
