「Puzzles that will feel familiar in form to adventure gamers, but the roguelike mansion-building system adds a layer of strategic depth and keeps you approaching problems from new angles. 」

「Mechanical puzzler similar to The Room series. The hint system lets you know when you need to leave a puzzle for now and come back later, and most puzzles have a fair inner logic. Worth a try.」

「A brilliantly written adventure/rpg akin to Planescape: Torment, minus the combat. Lots of viable ways to solve problems add replay value.」

「Murder mystery high school: the visual novel. It's actually really impressive how much an attentive sleuth can solve on their own, but the game will drag you to a resolution if you can't work it out.」

「Cute classic adventure with some fun left-field puzzles. Reasonable puzzles, though small window size and dark colors make it easy to miss key locations, which can make it seem harder than it is.」

「A brilliant first-person murder mystery strung together with letters, diaries, and keys in an abandoned town. Painscreek demands THOROUGH note-taking and attention to detail but is heavily rewarding.」

「Not a "puzzle-y" adventure. Just brilliant writing and vibrant characters in an all-too-familiar world of capitalist failure.」

「Not as wild or immensely gratifying as its predecessor and some really huge intuitive leaps toward the end are pretty daunting, but still a great entry to a great series.」

「A beautifully told, gorgeously realized adventure with some simple but enjoyable puzzle-solving. The Finch House is a delight to explore and piecing together its history is a joy.」

「A wild experimental narrative with mind-bending but shockingly fair puzzles. There's logic about the moon, but no moon logic to be found. Read the full review.」
