point'n'click your way around

The
first chapter of Esklavos was a beautiful
point'n'click game, but as far as I can tell
Esklavos Chapter 2 is an arcade game, using the cursor keys, in which you swim under water trying to maintain your oxygen levels whilst avoiding various obstacles and missiles. I say "appears to be" as it could turn into a regular
point'n'click once you get passed the swimming bit but I haven't yet succeeded in doing this without coming to a nasty end [

UPDATE: OK. I've got passed the swimming bit and now there's a
point'n'click puzzle involving a ray of light and some carving type things... I can't vouch for what's next after this, as obviously I'm stuck on this now, but anyway my point is all you
point'n'click addicts shouldn't be put off by the arcadey (spelling?) bit at the beginning.
Head-Fi has your standard "escape the room"
point'n'click game plot, but in a weird twist of logic it's not keys you need to collect to get out, it's sets of headphones. Four sets to be exact. Well why not? [

The long lost
Series Of Nekoryokan makes an unexpected reappearance for us to
point'n'click around in
Nekoryokan 3. Despite the absence though the kitty cat is still there to give the game it's trademark feline presense [

Escape From The Room Of Rainbow proved to be an immensely unpopular
point'n'click game with Lazylaces visitors, so I wasn't gasping in anticipation at the prospect of
a sequel, but the follow up, "
Crazy Doors Of Rainbow Colours", while having a bizarre name, does seem to be a much better game from what I've played so far, so I recommend putting on your "second chance" hat and giving it a go. I'm going to get back and finish now to see how it pans out [

UPDATE: Completed it and loved it. A much, much better game.
Rental House is the
point'n'click sequel to
Terminal House and once again it's time to be careful at the beginning of the game. That's not a dead body on the floor, it's actually you in an unconscious daze, in that classic "what happened, where am I, I'm trapped in a room" scenario [

The idea, as far as I can tell, of
Unfair Escape is to escape the bus using your
point'n'click skills, but my lack of Japanese means that this is just a best guess. Task number one though is to escape the handcuffs which involves a tricky game of guessing the combination code. I suspect there is a clue to this in the book you are carrying, but once again a lack of Japanese knowledge hampered me on this one. Perhaps someone who understands this could explain if there is any logic to this? Personally I headed over to the
fine forums at Nordinho and found the help (and a red herring) I needed over there [

Something a little different in
Wogger Mini 48 for you to
point'n'click. I'm not sure if this was done in reaction to all those "I'm sick of pixel hunting" comments last time, but it certainly should go some way to appeasing you [

Prepare to exercise your brain,
The Locked Box is here, the latest in
The First Door Series. And as well as what I have no doubt are mind twisting puzzles, this one incorporates some nice flash sights and sounds too - it really does look great and I can't wait to try out some of what effectively appear to be mini (almost
point'n'click) games spread around the desktop that is the playing surface. Anyway before I head off to play I'll hand over to the mysterious First Door for their intro:
Things began again at midnight. Something different needs to be solved; something new needs to be opened. This time it is not a door, but a box. After the last quest, the path was severed; the trail destroyed and left dangling. Without a path to follow, the quest has changed, the quest has become about finding the next step. Discover the secret projects The First Door was working on and hope that he has left us a clue about what to do next. Go to his hiding place, he has left you a message. Will you listen once again?

Destination Death is an educational
point'n'click game from
The BBC in which you are supposed to be learning French, German and/or Spanish as you play (as far as I can tell, other than the language obviously, the game seems to be the same no matter which language you pick). I choose to play in French and have worked out I'm in an airport (durrrr), and I'm waiting for my sister, but there seems to be some sort of problem with the aeroplane and/or airport. I'm now trying to scrape my knowledge of French from the back of my brain to work out more. What I do know though is that I love the stylised black, white and red graphics [

O Cofre combines some fine graphics and sounds to produce a great
point'n'click sequel to
O Quarto (select a resolution size on
the linked page to start the game). The aim of the game is to escape once again, if only that lady hadn't closed the weird bank vault door thing, and also, you'll soon find out, to be beware of the dog. I've had to restart this one a couple of times already... [
