The BBC's
Roman Mysteries point'n'click series [

Incognitus Asleep in the Deep sees you trapped in a room that's filling with water and has faulty electrical connections on the wall. Using your
point'n'click skills to
escape the room as quickly as possible would seem to be a wise course of action...

In
TLFMER 2 our goal, once again, is to
escape the room, which is a goal we all know and love from many a
point'n'click game played. This one has more pictures of ducks than your normal game though, and why not? I'm always bemoaning the lack of duck pictures in these things. Anyway, I have only just started playing this one, but it's obvious, even to a fool like me, that at some point we're going to need a door or window or some such, unless we find some magic powers to get us out. And finally, if you like this game you can also try
TLFMER or
Head Fi from the same author [

Explore the
Old Castle, find an artefact, and leave a dangerous vault, all with only your trusty
point'n'click skills to guide you. Before all that though, there's the small matter of getting into the castle to attend to... oh, and waiting for the thing to load, which seemed to take ages, for reasons I couldn't work out [

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 [
