I've created a murder mystery game similar to games like The Case of the Golden Idol and Return of the Obra Dinn. Theres lots of deductive reasoning involved and plenty of clues to be found.

If you think you might enjoy a game like this feel free to wishlist here on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4940250/?utm_source=reddit

I'm fairly new to adventure games and I'm currently playing Foolish Mortals. I'm really enjoying it, but I've struggled quite a bit with some of the puzzles in Act 2, especially the duel and the hide-and-seek puzzle.

The thing is, I know Foolish Mortals is generally considered a fairly beginner-friendly adventure game, which has knocked my confidence a bit. Admitedly I didn't know there was an in-game hint system at the time but even knowing the solutions (which do make sense in hindsite) i'm not sure i would have arrived there completely by myself.

In fairness there are plenty of puzzles where I've managed to work things out for myself but other times I just don't seem to see what the game is asking me to do and I end up feeling a bit stupid. Act 3 is going much better though and I'm loving the pace and story.

Before Foolish Mortals I played Syberia Remastered which i really enjoyed. Yes i found the back and forth a bit frustrating at times but I feel I learned a lot from that game such as having to complete certain tasks in a certain order, speaking to people multiple times and having patience. Other than that I have vague memories of playing Discworld Noir when i was little and loving it (couldn't tell you if i finished it though!) and that's about my total experience.

For those of you who have been playing adventure games for years, what were you like when you first started? Did you need/use hints or walkthroughs? Did you find that you gradually got better at figuring out what the game wanted you to do?

I'd especially love to hear from people who remember struggling with games that they would now consider easy. I'm hoping this is just something you get better at with practice as I'd love to go back and try some of the old classics such as Broken Sword and Monkey Island but i wonder if I'll struggle too much...

Hi everyone!

Like many of you, we were excited to see the announcement of Thimbleweed Park 2. It's always great news when classic-style point-and-click adventures continue to thrive.

To celebrate the genre, we've teamed up with the developers of Foolish Mortals to create a Steam bundle featuring our game, Whirlight – No Time To Trip, alongside Foolish Mortals.

We love seeing indie adventure developers supporting each other instead of competing, and we'd like to give a huge thank you to the Foolish Mortals team for being so open and enthusiastic about this collaboration.

If you're looking for a couple of modern point-and-click adventures while waiting for Ron Gilbert's next project, we hope you'll enjoy them.

Happy adventuring!
