I never have even dipped my toes in the hobby Adventure Game world, but somehow I found a link to this game today (that’s what happens when you stay home sick!):
In La Croix Pan, you are an American paratrooper who needs to defend a small town on D-Day. It’s quite short and a lot of fun, an entertaining mix of retro Adventure Game and some non-conventional gameplay as well.
Any other AGS games (or other Adventure Game system games) to recommend?
Check out Ben Croshaw’s AGS games - ‘Five Days a Stranger’, ‘Seven Days a Skeptic’, ‘The Trilby Files’ and ‘Six Days a Sacrifice’. Play them in that order.
Since you’re getting yourself into graphical adventure games, you might also want to try others not made with AGS - try “Nathan’s Second Chance”, any of Deirdra Kiai’s games, and “Out of Order”.
There’s also the homebrewed games from Jonas Kyratzes - “Museum of Broken Memories” is a good one, if you’re a bit fond of Myst-like games.
