  • Lots of humour
  • Sci-fi setting
  • Puzzles and brain teasers

An absurdist first-person adventure set on a cornfield farm full of robots, talking corn and odd secrets. Monty Python-style humor and inventory-driven puzzles are at the heart of the experience.

Beneath a Steel Sky

Sci-fi setting

A classic point-and-click adventure set in a dystopian cyberpunk city, where Robert Foster and his robot Joey uncover the secrets of an all-powerful computer system. Dry British humor, comic-style art by Dave Gibbons and clever inventory puzzles define it.

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.

Deponia

Lots of humour

A humorous point-and-click adventure on a trash planet, where the bumbling antihero Rufus schemes his way toward the dream city of Elysium through quirky, often absurd puzzles and plenty of banter.

Hiveswap: Act 1

Lots of humour

A hand-drawn point-and-click adventure in the 90s tradition: teenager Joey Claire is whisked away from 1994 Earth to an alien world and uses inventory puzzles and plenty of wit to find her way. Its humor and ties to the Homestuck universe define the experience.
