Review: Come meet Willy Morgan and stay for a brief slice of the Curse of Bone Town
Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town might be a short game, but it still delivers a fun and unobtrusive point ‘n click adventure worth checking out.
Luna is short and simple point-and-click adventuring done right
Short, simple, pleasant, heartfelt and beautiful, Luna The Shadow Dust is lovely in every way.

Guard Duty as a whole is — for as cliché as it might sound — more than a sum of its parts, so I can easily overlook its weak presentation.
