Looks a bit too classic to me :slight_smile:. At least Walk to and Look at should be simple clicks in the room and not verbs.

Though there’s also Think … intriguing …

Not point & click, but a game that has me (cautiously) excited nonetheless:

I’m not quite sure about the time-loop, as this hints at repetitive gameplay or having to solve things by trial and error, but if the writing is anywhere near as good as Disco Elysium, then count me in! If not, there’s Esoteric Ebb to look forward to instead:

Hey guys, I’m working on a new cyberpunk-themed point and click adventure - Neon Hearts City!

A private investigator, hot on the trail of a missing person, stumbles upon a conspiracy of zealots lurking in the city’s hidden underworld. Neon Hearts City is a retro point-and-click adventure that thrusts you into a grungy cyberpunk city of the future.

While searching for Audrey, a missing young girl, Elijah Crow uncovers a sinister plot targeting society’s outcasts.

I loved playing Kathy Rain. My memory of the plot is a bit rusty and I only remember the main themes, some of which resonated with me quite strongly. Now that a sequel is in the works, it might be a useful and enjoyable idea to play the original game again before buying the new one.

Since this is the “under development” thread, I think I’ll mention that Ron Gilbert’s new game was expected to be released between late 2024 and early 2025.

After seeing Ron talk about the budget on Mastodon, I feel that it’s unlikely for the 2024 deadline to be met, but I also feel that the release of the game can’t be too far away.
