I’ll wait.

Yesterday Argonus and the Gods of Stone was released.

I can’t say a lot about the game itself beside apparently being an adventure game, but I do know it’s from Zojoi who remade Shadowgate! I hope it will be released on GOG too.

From the reviews:

Interesting review.
I’ve already seen someone complaining about a clunky UI but this guys says:

People have written that the control scheme (using KB/M) was a tad clunky. I personally don’t think that’s the case at all.

Also they mentioned something about savegames…

I think someone also mentionend the puzzles being more on the light side, but IMHO this game is worth my support IF there comes a DRM-free version.

“The Terrible Old Man” is out. Don’t miss this one… a free Lovecraftian short game from the author of Sumatra, one of the best adventure authors IMHO. Sumatra was really a mature and very balanced game.

That was interesting.

Infested, a free adventure game for Windows and Mac:

I tried this one. It’s well done and definitely captures the retro-style feeling of this sub-genre.

Playable in browser, the 0-key is actually “c”:

Someone · November 4, 2019, 6:42pm

I haven’t played it yet.

The Council was finally released! (after being finished for one year )
The reviews are looking good and it even has achievements!
The developer is called Big Bad Wolf. Sounds trustworthy to me

Nor_Treblig · November 21, 2019, 4:30am

This looks right up my alley! The developer GhostShark Games is from Rome btw. (and of course there is an Italian version). Also they have made a proper GOG version including achievements.

Frenzie · November 21, 2019, 11:31am

It says episodic, so unless I’m missing something what you wrote makes perfect sense to me? First ep last year, last ep recently?

Nor_Treblig · November 21, 2019, 12:22pm

No, my observation was based on St**m shop but on Wikipedia it says the same:

Episode 1: 13 March 2018
Episode 2: 15 May 2018
Episode 3: 24 July 2018
Episode 4: 25 September 2018
Episode 5: 4 December 2018

The game has been finished (episode-wise) since 2018-12-04, so nearly exactly one year.
Also on GOG they list 2018-03-13 as release date, which is the release of the first episode.
