A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Okay, no spoilers, but I personally really liked Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard a fair bit. It was the first point and click adventures I've played, unless I'm mistaken, and it's amazing IMO.

No spoiler to a certain scene but my favorite line in the game comes from one of the many game overs and it's just the English voice actor for Finn kinda doing an angry adlibbing right before it happens. Absolute gem of dialogue.

Like, your first ever point and click adventure?

As far as I can remember, yeah. They skipped me because I was mainly a console and flash game kid in a time when point and click adventure games were becoming less popular as a genre.

Edit:

Just realized the one Spy Fox and Pajama Man Sam games I played were point and click adventure games. So I'm wrong about BTEOG being the first ever. My memory failed me.

Right in time for their revival, then.
