Hot out of my inbox is news from
JB (creator of the
Jack French games) of the start of his new
point'n'click game series, "
Agent Scarecrow". Judging by the links on
the page - not all active yet - there are going to be three chapters in total, but for now just
Chapter 1 - The Birth Of Scarecrow is a available to play. And I gather from the, frustratingly "to be continued" style, end of this episode (I couldn't resist playing thru to the end before I posted) there will be two versions of Chapter 2 when it comes out, depending upon who you decide to call in the final sequence of this chapter, which I guess means we will all be playing thru this one at least twice :) Anyway over to
JB for his description of the game:
Agent Scarecrow - Chapter 1 - now available.
Mike is your average 20-year old guy. One day, Mike is mistaken for a
secret agent and gets involved in a crazy adventure. Along the
storyline, Mike gets to travel around the World... with little time to
make friends.
Agent Scarecrow, is a "choose your own" actionventure game. i.e. it
combines
point-and-click elements with fighting and shooting scenes.
Also, your decisions will dictate the course of the story.

Escape The Dark Room starts as a very dark room indeed, and then once you find the light switch you'll find that it's even more aptly named than you first thought. Cunning. Based on the Thai Horror film "Shutter" (there are various screams and noises as you stumble around the room to remind you of the horror credentials), this
point'n'click game has the standard
escape the room goal [

Miestas (aka.
Menulis 2) gives us more of the chilled out surreal adventuring that the original
Menulis introduced us to, and that, my friends, is a most excellent thing. Once again the puzzles, graphics and soundtrack are superb, generally bizarre, and have a unique style all of their own, making the whole thing a pleasure to play. Cursor keys to move, [space] for actions. [

Eye Defence is a super-late entry to
Jay's last
Game Comp (some would say
fashionably late) that takes the competition's "
Grow" theme and mutates it into something that's akin to the illegitimate love child of a shoot'em'up arcade game, meets your pedantically ordered/strategied
Grow style
point'n'click game. Quandary: It's partly not my bag at all, and partly totally my cup of tea. How does it make
you feel? Unfortunately though both parts of my split personality are entirely stuck on level 2 and far too addicted to stop trying to complete it... Arrrgh! [

It's time for
Erik to escape another room, or should that be for us to escape Erik's room again? I'm unclear about whether it's the escape, or the room, that belongs to Erik. Damn apostrophes they always were my downfall. Anyway my own personal grammar & punctuation issues aside the news, that I've totally distracted myself from telling you, is that
Erik's Escape The Room 5, the latest in the
Erik's Escape Series, is out now for you to
point'n'click your way out of... and this one has a blue parrot holding a blue key... which is nice [

As seasoned
point'n'click game addicts we all know that the golden rule of the game series is that at
episode 55 you
always have to have a nice jigsaw puzzle. So you'll be pleased to hear that
Wogger Mini 55 sticks to the tradition and delivers us a nice little puzzle to figure out. Remember - edges first! [

Hoshi Saga is a series of mini
point'n'click puzzles of varying difficulty (some are hyper simple, some will have you stumped for a while), all with the same goal - to collect the star. Despite being in monochrome the game succeeds in looking very nice indeed, and includes some novel navigation. You can pick and choose which ever order takes your fancy for playing the levels, although some are only unlocked once you have completed a block of the other puzzles. All in all there's plenty to keep you playing for some time, and it's rather a nice experience [

TLFMER, or
The Little Fast Made Escape Room to give it it's full name, continues the long tradition of
escape the room style
point'n'click games to which we have become so addicted. The graphics aren't great in this one, and there's at least one bug with collecting the little rocks, but neither of these things are serious enough to deter the avid
point'n'clicker [

Amnesia is an escape the room
point'n'click game. Not to be confused with
Amnesia an escape the building
point'n'click game. Yes - we're recycling game names today - it's the environmentally friendly way of naming games [

UPDATE: Hang on a minute... do I have Amnesia? Don't I remember this game from a while back under a different name...?
Escape Library is a
point'n'click game where you have to... well, you
know. Not to be confused with the similarly titled
Library Escape [

Head-Fi 2 is the follow up episode to
Head-Fi , the game where you had to, bizarrely, collect sets of headphones to escape a room. The audio theme continues this time round with you needing to find four amplifiers for the four sets of headphones you collected in part one. The game's not too hard, but I do have one question though - for a
point'n'click game that's all about collecting audio equipment isn't it a bit odd that the game has no sound? Or maybe it does and I should be collecting some real life headphones... [

Continuing the
EscapeDaHouse Series,
EscapeDaHouse 3 sees you using your
point'n'click skills to escape prison, rather than a house, making the title of the game redundant. Unless of course they mean
EscapeDaBigHouse which still works [
