Mohinder's Office

First up - a warning - and this is going to upset some of you - but I think Mohinder's Office is one of those BBC games that they have restricted to UK only players. I could be wrong, and even if I'm right sometimes it doesn't work out where you are correctly anyway, so it's still worth a try even if you are outside the UK, but apologies from me up front if you can't get this one to work. It's also probably worth trying both the direct game link and the launch page.

Right anyway, so if you can play, what is this all about? Well it's a point'n'click exploration of Mohinder's Office from the TV show Heroes - the TV show that The BBC "discovered" by watching which shows, imported from the US, did well on obscure UK cable channels and then buying the rights for themselves. There are games to be found within the office, and more content is to be added over the coming weeks [subbed by Johnny Falcon].

DayMare Town

Having clearly learnt the art of never sleeping, and staying up 24 hours a day to design quality point'n'click games, it's no wonder Murtaugh finds himself stuck in DayMare Town (I'm assuming a DayMare is very much like a Nightmare, but, er, during the day), as he must be ultra tired. Anyway, DayMare Town, the latest slice of point'n'click excellent, comes hot on the heels of Covert Front Chapter 1 and the Submachine Series, and I have itchy point'n'click fingers just thinking about it, so I'm off to play now...

You've played Submachine, You've played Covert Front, now it's time for something completely new and unforeseen.

DayMare Town

Sketchy outline-only drawings give a stranger look to the game-play and create a bit of minimal atmosphere. Add creepy sounds and twisted story and you get the picture.

DMT is the hardest puzzle game I've made so far. It's really nasty, so be warned. It's for advanced pnc gamers. There is no cliffhanger at the end, but just try to get to that end.

Late For Work

In Late For Work you must escape the room as you are... wait for it... wait for it... Late For Work... ahhhhh... How does this work though? Hmmm... *thinks*... you ring your boss:

WorkShyGamer: Sorry, I can't come into work today as I'm stuck in my house which has inexplicably turned into a point'n'click adventure overnight.
Boss: Er.. ok... have you tried pressing [TAB]?
WorkShyGamer: Well I don't normally cheat, or anything like that, as my gaming skillz are so 1337, but I thought you would ask so I checked just in case and no it doesn't work on this one.
Boss: Well, try the waste paper basket then, there's always a clue there.
WorkShyGamer: Nope. Not in this game. I did that and all I saw was lots of Japanese text I didn't understand.
Boss: Dammit. I suppose you'll have to wait until someone posts a walkthru at lazylaces.com then...

Heaven Walker

Heaven Walker is a strange point'n'click game where you walk amongst the clouds and see strange cloud creatures and birds along the way. Don't ask me what the goal of the game is though - even if I did understand Japanese I suspect this one might remain a mystery [subbed by winniethepooh].

Black Room 3: The Hotel

Black Room 3: The Hotel is the third in, what is now, a trilogy of escape the room type games. What is that hypnotic noise in the background though? It kind of reminds me of The Hypnotoad [subbed by vmklover].

Concert 3

As with the other Concert Games the latest episode, Concert 3, sees you searching for your lost ticket so you can go to a concert. You really should be more careful. For reasons that aren't clear to me there are loads of cats in the game, but I quite like that, and my favourite cat in the game is pictured above [subbed by Nicop].

The Stupidity Test

Don't know just how stupid you are? No? Then why not quickly click your way through The Stupidity Test? It'll give you a percentage score of how stupid you really are. Handy! Go on, give it a go, you'd be stupid not to... 100% stupid that is... stupid! Er.... I think that's enough stupid references for today Graeme... [subbed by vmklover].

200 Clicks

Continuing today's Russian theme 200 Clicks is yet another point'n'click game from the Eastern Bloc (I don't think that term is used any more, but whatever). The aim of the game is to expel as many British Diplomats as possible from your country... no, hang on, that's something else... the aim of the game is to escape the prison cell [subbed by TaylorJane, Mystery & Sanara].

Aside: I assumed from the name of this game that you were going to be limited to 200 clicks to complete the game, with some sort of countdown to show how many you had used so far, but I haven't seen any evidence that this is the case, I'm yet to complete it though, but there certainly isn't a countdown. Anyway, my point is that it might be a cool idea to incorporate into a point'n'click game, I don't remember seeing one before with this feature (let me know if you remember one). If there are any game developers reading this maybe this would be a nice idea to try out? Let me know what you think, and obviously I'll post a link to it if you actually produce a point'n'click game with it in.
