The Book of Unwritten Tales 2

A party of several characters

Thimbleweed Park

Strong, story-driven narrative

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.

Day of the Tentacle Remastered
