Esklavos C5

The beautiful graphics, pleasing puzzles and engaging characters of the Esklavos Series return in Esklavos Chapter 5. Your point'n'click investigations on each screen are going to have to be quick though as there's big big guy wondering around after you with a gun... [via esklavos blog].

Escape From Island

Time for an enjoyable point'n'click jaunt around some far away island in Escape From Island. The goal of the game is to firstly find the TV producer, then get them to the turn the whole thing into a reality TV show, before persuading the audience to vote you off the island. Last one to leave gets a cash prize, and regularly appears in gossip magazines, before marrying another Z-list "celebrity". Well it's either that or you have to work out the point'n'click puzzles, I haven't worked out which yet... [subbed by handyrman].

UPDATE: I officially loved this game (my reality TV show theory turned out to be way off the mark - go figure). Anyway having played thru a few times now trying to work out what happens with different combinations of the "unused items" in your inventory (not much, as far as I can tell, although I think there may be very subtle differences in the end movie - I'm not 100% on that though) I'm now going back to play Shinto Shrine again from the same author.

Harold's Escape

Harold's Escape sees you trying to help Harold escape a room that his practical joke playing wife has locked him in (she also seems to have bricked up the wall behind the door - the minx). Thus another point'n'click adventure ensues... There's doesn't seem to be much in the is game to click on at first, and I spent a while just spinning around the room (why does the sofa only appear when I go left I ended up asking myself? A question I am yet to answer) but each new area found unlocks another, and you'll soon find some puzzles to solve. Start at the chest of drawers is my advice, and I'll let y'all take it from there... [subbed by Limbo].

Dassyutu 5

Dassyutu 5 is your regular Japanese escape the room style point'n'click game, i.e. just the sort of thing we like. I tried a google translation of the page and it actually works quite well, if you want to know more about these games [subbed by handyrman].

Mohinder's Office

First up - a warning - and this is going to upset some of you - but I think Mohinder's Office is one of those BBC games that they have restricted to UK only players. I could be wrong, and even if I'm right sometimes it doesn't work out where you are correctly anyway, so it's still worth a try even if you are outside the UK, but apologies from me up front if you can't get this one to work. It's also probably worth trying both the direct game link and the launch page.

Right anyway, so if you can play, what is this all about? Well it's a point'n'click exploration of Mohinder's Office from the TV show Heroes - the TV show that The BBC "discovered" by watching which shows, imported from the US, did well on obscure UK cable channels and then buying the rights for themselves. There are games to be found within the office, and more content is to be added over the coming weeks [subbed by Johnny Falcon].

DayMare Town

Having clearly learnt the art of never sleeping, and staying up 24 hours a day to design quality point'n'click games, it's no wonder Murtaugh finds himself stuck in DayMare Town (I'm assuming a DayMare is very much like a Nightmare, but, er, during the day), as he must be ultra tired. Anyway, DayMare Town, the latest slice of point'n'click excellent, comes hot on the heels of Covert Front Chapter 1 and the Submachine Series, and I have itchy point'n'click fingers just thinking about it, so I'm off to play now...

You've played Submachine, You've played Covert Front, now it's time for something completely new and unforeseen.

DayMare Town

Sketchy outline-only drawings give a stranger look to the game-play and create a bit of minimal atmosphere. Add creepy sounds and twisted story and you get the picture.

DMT is the hardest puzzle game I've made so far. It's really nasty, so be warned. It's for advanced pnc gamers. There is no cliffhanger at the end, but just try to get to that end.

[subbed and created by Murtaugh].

Late For Work

In Late For Work you must escape the room as you are... wait for it... wait for it... Late For Work... ahhhhh... How does this work though? Hmmm... *thinks*... you ring your boss:

WorkShyGamer: Sorry, I can't come into work today as I'm stuck in my house which has inexplicably turned into a point'n'click adventure overnight.
Boss: Er.. ok... have you tried pressing [TAB]?
WorkShyGamer: Well I don't normally cheat, or anything like that, as my gaming skillz are so 1337, but I thought you would ask so I checked just in case and no it doesn't work on this one.
Boss: Well, try the waste paper basket then, there's always a clue there.
WorkShyGamer: Nope. Not in this game. I did that and all I saw was lots of Japanese text I didn't understand.
Boss: Dammit. I suppose you'll have to wait until someone posts a walkthru at lazylaces.com then...

Heaven Walker

Heaven Walker is a strange point'n'click game where you walk amongst the clouds and see strange cloud creatures and birds along the way. Don't ask me what the goal of the game is though - even if I did understand Japanese I suspect this one might remain a mystery [subbed by winniethepooh].

Black Room 3: The Hotel

Black Room 3: The Hotel is the third in, what is now, a trilogy of escape the room type games. What is that hypnotic noise in the background though? It kind of reminds me of The Hypnotoad [subbed by vmklover].
