Escape From The Coolsonian

And now a round up of some of the point'n'click-ery that's been keeping me occupied recently. First up some scary scooby doo capers in the escape from the coolsonian, and if that isn't enough try some horror on the high seas. Yoinks!

Le Bureau d'Anode & Cathode

Soon there won't be on-line games which don't involve escaping a room (okay, an office in this case) with lots of point'n'clicking. I'm running out of ways to describe these things, but I'm still loving them. Nice graphics, shame about the lack of audio, in Le Bureau. By the way, I'm escapee #1882 apparently. What's your number? [ta Incog Neato].

Little Lost Head

I have no idea what this game is really called as all the text describing it is in Japanese, but the idea of the thing is that a little girl's head floats away on a balloon and you have to help her retrieve it (no, really). So I've christened the game &quotLittle Lost Head" for want of a better name.

That aside it's rather a nice example of another point'n'click game, it reminds me of a cross between samorost and chasm, and it's really rather cute (if you ignore the fact that you're controlling a decapitated girl's body).

As usual feel free to post a comment if you get stuck, although I should warn you that I'm currently stuck on level 3 myself (why doesn't the pattern the bird shows me work?), but perhaps the very kind Incog Neato can help since they mailed me the link (have you completed it Incog?).

Note: mail me at the address at the bottom of the page for a downloaded copy of the game if the link isn't working.

Stealth Drinking Curfew

Despite an 11pm curfew imposed by your girlfriend, you have returned home very late from a drink fest with your mates. You've forgotten your keys and you must now gain entrance to your flat and get into bed without upsetting your light sleeping girlfriend.

99 Rooms

Not one, not two, but 99 rooms of flash point'n'click adventuring. It's not difficult, but it is plentiful, beautiful, atmospheric and spooky. Be sure to turn your sound up, and be careful of shivers down your spine and jumping out of your skin in a couple of the rooms. Excellent.

Update: currently you can't get into any one of the 99 rooms because their bandwidth limit as been exceeded, I highly recommend checking back though, it's well worth it.

A Case Of The Crabs

I need another point'n'click flash adventure game to whittle away my time like I need a hole in the head, but a case of the crabs is a gem, has a real sense of humour, and is in lovely old skool black'n'white from back in the days before flash animation got all modernised with technological marvels like colour [thanks daisy].

Tontie

Some keypad fun with the rather lovely tontie. Cue cramps in right hand - if you don't know what RSI is now, you soon will do [at the great ebaumsworld].

Milki W

A(nother) cute little point'n'click adventure game with some nice quirky bits of gameplay to waste away the time while you wait for part 3 of the Crimson room (the Blue Chamber?) [thanks Lisa].
