The latest game in the
Wanpa Quest Series shuns the obvious name of "Wanpa Quest 5", instead it's called
Wanpa Quest Another 1. Well why not? Why bow to convention? Anyway, whatever the name, it continues the theme of tricky
point'n'click puzzles and impenetrable Japanese text [

5 Minutes To Kill (Yourself) has an unusual (and somewhat sick) theme, and comes with a huge great big "don't try this at home kids", or indeed "don't try this in the office big kids", caveat. The twisted back story of this
point'n'click game is that you are working in an office when a surprise meeting is called for five minutes time (I
hate that). Unable to come up with any of the suitable excuses for non-attendance that we all use in real life, the only obvious course of action is to take your own life before the meeting starts. Thus hilarity ensues as you use objects around the office, and bait your co-workers, into doing you some harm [

PS. Oh, I forgot to mention, as well as the whole suicide theme which won't to be everyone's taste, I should also point out that this game is presented in isometric layout and uses the cursor keys for movement, which I know for
a lot of you is #1 crime against humanity. Don't say I didn't warn you.
At World's End is a promo
point'n'click game/interactive web site thing promoting the
new Pirates Of The Caribbean film. The not very difficult goal is to collect the coins from the pirates for Jack, and in the meanwhile (and no doubt this is the creators ultimate goal) you see short trailers and peeks of the film-to-come [

Makibishi Comic takes some truly stunning Japanese comic art (I would go so far as to use the phrase
visual feast), some nice sounds, and plenty of things to
point'n'click, and wraps it all up into a game that's an absolute pleasure to play. I think the goal is to find some hidden characters, but really this game is about the journey, and not the destination. Oh, and crucially for your enjoyment there's a Japanese
and an English version [

When you start to play
TRGEsc it would seem to involve escaping a particularly sparse room, however after a little frustrated
point'n'clicking around the walls, ceiling, floor, etc, you'll soon find there's more hidden in here than first met the eye [

Dasyutu is in that category of
point'n'click game of "this might well be easy, but because it's in Japanese I don't have a clue what's going on". You really have to like
point'n'click games to play this one [

Way back when there was a great
point'n'click game named
Siegburgspiel. The graphics were great, but it was made very tricky for non-German speakers like myself by the profusion of German text that was all too essential to understanding what was going on. However now there is
The Mysterious Anno Chest, the English translation of the original
Siegburgspiel, to make it accessible to all us non-
polyglots. I should be happy, but somehow it takes some of the
esoteric edge off of the game for me. It could be I'm just weird though, I'm sure the rest of you will love adventuring around this game that is promoting the German town of
Sieburg

The
Planet Green Game is an eco-friendly
point'n'click game with a whole heap of mini games thrown in. Gain points for being "green", feel worthy, laugh at the naivety, gasp at the US bias, be stunned at the
game sponsor, but above all do the planet a favour and take some of the lessons on board [

I could have sworn I'd posted
The Room (HBB) before, but I couldn't find it when I searched back through
the vaults, a task made a little trickier by the fact that there are quite a few games posted with the phrase "
the room" used in their description. Who would have thought it?
Anyway (repeat or not),
The Room (HBB) is a short, but not at all sweet (there's a guy hanging in the cupboard so you might not want to play if you are squeamish),
point'n'click room escaper. Don't blink, you might miss it [

UPDATE: Doh!
It is a repeat. Thanks to LxO for finding the original.
I'm on a PC with no graphics software this morning so no screenshot for this one (yet), but if you take a look at
EscapeDaHouse the look of
EscapeDaHouse 2 really isn't that much different. The self explanatory title should also tell you that the goal of this
point'n'click sequel mirrors the first part as well. You need the code from the end of part 1 to start, if you don't remember it I'll post it in
the comments [
