Kathy Rain 2 - Soothsayer (by @clifftopgames.bsky.social) was released three weeks ago. Our @westydesign.bsky.social took it for a ride, with some mixed outcomes. Read his review here: www.nicegamehints.com/a/kathy-rain...

What a neat little game! Poco, by Whalefall. Cool, short, and sweet 3d point'n'click about a small clown trying to get back to the circus. It has puzzles and we, of course, have hints for them: www.nicegamehints.com/guide/poco/ Go play the game, it's free: store.steampowered.com/app/3454610/...

Have you checked the demo for City of Voices? I liked it a lot. And the full-game will have an in-game hint system, as it should. If you wonder if your game should have hint system in it, contact me. More here: www.nicegamehints.com/game-devs

Old Skies, by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social is, no less and no more, perfect adventure game. Here's my review of the game: www.nicegamehints.com/a/old-skies-...

Finished writing hints for Old Skies (by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social). This is a really good game, go play it. I will post my review of it, soon. Meanwhile, if you need a hint on a puzzle, check out my low-spoiler guide here: www.nicegamehints.com/guide/old-sk...

I just backed The Mystery of Doomsday Valley (by @trueascension.bsky.social) www.kickstarter.com/projects/tru...

Hi Bluesky! 👋 We're a team of 4 indie devs working on 'Codename: GOD', a point-and-click adventure set in the 80s with 16-bit aesthetic. A game about Randall, a nerdy kid. And you... GOD! #indiegame #adventuregame #pointandclick #indiedev #pixelart

Hey, finished writing low-spoiler hints for @grundislav.games game Rosewater. The game is unique in the way that every playthrough is unique. That also made writing the hints a little more challenging. You can find the hints here: www.nicegamehints.com/guide/rosewa...

Happy Friday! It's the last 5 hours of our #Kickstarter campaign, and we're closing in on our final stretch goal: an extra ending! 🍻 We are so super thankful that you all made this possible! 🚀🎉 #pixelart #gamer #gamegirl #indiegames #indiegaming #retrogames

The Dark Eye - Chains of Sativa is free on GOG? Nice! No need to worry about getting stuck in it, we've got you covered. The hints are here: www.nicegamehints.com/guide/dark-e...

Resident Evil is a classic survival horror game. It also has puzzles. And if a game has puzzles it should have hints. @westydesign.bsky.social took up the challenge and wrote low-spoiler hints for the game, for both character gameplays! Check out the hints here: www.nicegamehints.com/guide/reside...

Today is the day to reveal the Mesektet store page! You'll find new information and a bunch of new screenshots from the game. 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/3072050/... By the way, this amazing cover wouldn't have been possible without @encomplotgames.bsky.social and @postmodernadv.bsky.social

TODAY! For the sixth and (maybe final) time, I play Day of the Tentacle on a blacked out screen, clicking solely based on childhood memories. You know, like how point and click adventure games were designed to be played! At long last, the end is in sight! 11am PT / 2pm ET Live at HotCarbs.com!

I have to say the two Little Nightmares games are quite intense, but in a good way. I played them and wrote hints for the hard puzzles so that you don't have to read spoilers. Enjoy: www.nicegamehints.com/guide/little... and www.nicegamehints.com/guide/little...

All the data (besides the hints, naturally) about the games on my site come from here. Heartly recommended. I have also contributed back if I spotted something missing.

Congrats @joerichardson.bsky.social on finalizing the "triptych"! The last game ended it perfectly. Enjoyed it a lot. And congrats to me finalizing the hints for all of the games. Here are the low-spoiler gradual hints for the Death of the Reprobate: www.nicegamehints.com/guide/death-...

Is there a starter pack for all the #adventuregame #gamedevs somewhere? Not asking for a friend, but for myself.

🎺Death of the Reprobate is OUT NOW!!!🎺 It's a Rabelaisian ramble through Rembrandts, or - for the less pretentious among you - Monkey Island meets Monty Python! :P Please help me spread the word about my silly game. Link below. 😇 🙏
