This adventure game isn’t new, not in development and not on sale. So I thought I create a new thread for such adventure games that are noteworthy and/or interesting. 😉 (If we have already such a thread then \*beep\* you Discourse search…)

I start with “I want out”. It has a SCUMM like interface:

> **[I Want Out! by i\_want\_out](https://i-want-out.itch.io/i-want-out)**
>
> A short and retro style 'escape the room' game.
