I'm all for breaking new ground in
point'n'click games, there are only so many times that escaping a room can seem like a new and interesting challenge, but I'm not really sure how I feel about the objective of a game being to learn more Canadian history. That's exactly the goal
SOS History sets us though. Odd [

To fully appreciate it you have to play
The Grudge under the right conditions. Don't get me wrong, this is a great
point'n'click game anyway, and it will spook you out, but I first played this in my flat, alone, at midnight, in the dark, with the sound up loud on my headphones. Try it. If you don't know what goose bumps are you soon will do. Guaranteed to set your pulse racing [
thanks sam].
I'm not sure if
game is the right way to describe it,
Galactor is a bizarre
point'n'click thing. Good luck finding your barings [
thanks Incog Neato].
The user interface for
TrueLove will be familiar to you if you played
MilkoGame the other day as this
point'n'click game is from the same designers, and the graphic style is not too different either, which is no bad thing imho. The question on everyone's lips though, is can you find your
true love? I've personally been trying to suceed at this game for almost a couple of decades now without much luck, so I'll be interested to see your hints in the
comments ;o) Better still if one of the lazylaces ladeez could give me a walkthru... [

Sherlock was described to me as a
point'n'click game, but it's really nothing more than a flash version of the old 'spot the difference' game. However the basic
point'n'click cheat does work with it, you know -
that key, which means that if you really drag it out all 5 levels can be done in about 30 seconds. A discussion about how lame this is will ensue in the
comments I'm sure...
It might be a
garage rather than a room, the computer might not be a Mac (or look like one at least), but the
point'n'clicker in you will still get the idea: must escape confined space by over using mouse type device....clickerty click [

Red Devil 2 might swap the use of a mouse for having to press the cursor and space keys but it's still got
point'n'click written all over it (albeit figuratively). Shiny disco balls to you all (arrrrgh that song).
Regular
point'n'click games not hard enough? Creepy atmosphere doesn't freak you out? Sprechen Sie Deutsches? If you answered yes so far you're probably feeling pretty smug, so
Saw Das Spiel chucks a ten minute time limit into the mix to try to cut you down to size. Good luck [
thanks Incog Neato].
The last of this week's
point'n'click-fest,
Driven is a dark adventure where the lack of new fangled things like flash mean that your first task is to pick your browser carefully. I got lots of broken links using
Opera and
FF, meaning I had to resort to *shudder* Internet Explorer. If that doesn't make a game creepy I don't know what does. It does mean though that the tab key cheat is rendered useless - so there'll be no cheating.
Creepy sound effects and spooky graphics make
La Piedra De Anamara a great game to play in the dark. Remember to bring your torch though. You'll need it to read your Spanish-English dictionary.
The twisted nature of
point'n'click games is revealed when you realise that you are relieved to be in a
plane crash in the jungle as it makes a nice change to being locked in a room (Mac on a desk, waste-paper basket with hidden secrets, key hidden somewhere thereabouts, etc, etc). Well it's nice to get out once in a while isn't it? Anyways stuff the gameplay, I love the jungle background graphics and audio on this one, enjoy.
BTW: One useful thing while I remember, this game seems to remember where you have got to, so if you don't want to complete it all in one go you can quit out without losing all of your progress so far.
Point'n'click the little man out of prison. This seemed really easy up until the point where the dog caught me on my way out of the door. Bad fido. I'm not even 100% certain that '
YHJ' is the name of this game by the way but it's the only writing I could find on the thing, and it would appear you don't need to give a monkeys about what it's called to play it, so whatever (and yes, I did say that in a winey voice and make a 'W' with my fingers).
