You VS Drugs
YOU TAKE ON THE ROLE OF REAL-LIFE AGENTS WHO EXIST IN YOUR BRAIN, WHERE YOUR OWN WIT CAN RISE TO REVERT A WORLDWIDE DEVASTATION. THE ENEMY CAN ENSLAVE ANYONE, ANYWHERE. BY EMBARKING ON AN ADVENTURE THAT WILL DEFY YOUR IMAGINATION, YOU WILL DISCOVER HOW DRUG ADDICTION THREATENS HUMANITY. BY WATCHING REAL NEUROLOGICAL EVENTS, YOU WILL BE EMPOWERED TO BETTER PROTECT YOURSELF, AND THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE —IF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!
Inspiration & theme: “In 1960, only 4 million Americans had ever tried drugs” (2.2% of people). “By creating the Bureau of Narcotics & Dangerous Drugs in 1968, the U.S. set the basis of an official national/international war on drugs” (Drug Enforcement Administration Museum).
50 years later, the National Survey on Drug Use & Health (2019) showed that 164.8 million Americans aged 12 or older (60.1% of people) were past month substance users. Even worse, “children are already abusing drugs at age 12 or 13 (…), including tobacco, alcohol, inhalants, marijuana, prescription drugs such as sleeping pills & anti-anxiety medicines” (National Institute on Drug Abuse -NIDA-, 2020). And now, the United Nations’ 2021 World Drug Report states that “pandemic effects ramp up drug risk, as youth underestimate cannabis dangers”. So, what now? NIDA (2020) states that “Increased understanding of the basics of addiction will empower people to make informed choices in their own lives”. But if science took +100 years to unravel how drugs change the brain and produce addiction, how can regular kids & adults learn such complex topics to foresee the hidden dangers of trying drugs?
‘You VS Drugs’ is the first brain-based video game saga in the world designed to prevent drug addiction by empowering people with real knowledge, so they can make better choices in their own lives!
Design & gameplay: It’s a chibi cartoon-style 3D graphic design of characters & settings which give players a sense of action and fun at first glance. Friends & foes, level challenges, sounds, structures & objects are designed for players —that can play alone/with a partner— to explore, have fun, get surprised, fight, and make decisions that test the knowledge players acquire while watching how their brain works, and how drugs mess up with people’s lives. All relevant situations are inspired in real events of the working brain.
Game mechanics (and link to the learning experience):
• Incorrect responses to Path questions lead to situations that diminish energy levels.
• Correct responses to Path questions earn players points. Enough points allow the discovery of a special feature in the camp’s hospital.
• Your choices sometimes affect other AI teammates’ energy levels.
• To complete the first half of a level you need to take care of your fellow(s).
• Once a level is completed, the subsequent level is unlocked.
• Before a new level starts, weapon improvements or new skills can be learned at the camp’s gym.

History in Letters - The Eternal Alchemist
So I bought this game because I had a coupon and love point and click adventure games. Even with a coupon I don’t think the price was worth it (EDIT: on sale for $10 from $15 USD). I got all the achievements (less 2) in 6 hours. Every dialogue advancement causes the character sprites to flicker. Most puzzles are skipable - which on the one had is nice so you don’t get stuck, on the other makes the game a lot shorter. The incentive to complete the puzzles is to get the achievement and your money’s worth - although most of them could be solved with random guesswork and button pushing. And others, when I eventually did figure out what you’re supposed to do, there was no context clue that I could find to hint at that solution (I’m looking at you last puzzle of the game). Without seeing the achievement title I likely would have been stuck longer.

After playing ‘History in Letters’ the team’s deep love for old school adventures becomes apparent, combined with a modern approach towards the genre with relaxing Hidden Objects pictures and knocking puzzles. It is a nice little treat if you look for a new adventure.
The story is set in Paris, following smart ass Remy on the trail of the notorious alchemist Nicolas Flamel which somewhat evoked an appetite to dig more into the topic of who Flamel really was. The lovely crafted setting is an interesting mix of fancyful set-ups, French-styled cafés, buildings and dungeons to crack your head over puzzles and solve the mystery of the inherited diary.

Adam’s Venture Chronicles
(Got this game courtesy of the user Dom. Thanks, man!)
“My name’s Adam Venture. Danger trembles when it hears MY name! I am…” random interuption
What do you get when you throw Indiana Jones, the Bible, and some puzzles into a boiling pot? Well, you get Adam’s Venture Chronicles, a 3-episode puzzle adventure and platformer hybird that focuses on Christian (or Catholic…both are the same to me) mythology involving primarily the Old Testament of the Bible, namely the Garden of Eden and Solomon…who I don’t really remember all that well (being a former Catholic).

As has been noted by everyone else, the three Adam Venture games which was at one time sold individually have been grouped together to produce one long game named Adam Venture Chronicles (2015) created by a Dutch company which can be found here http://vertigo-games.com/company/
It claims to be an online adventure similar to Allan Quatermaine and Indiana Jones and it does have that type of feel about it all. It was also created to be suitable for Christians and young children as it contains little to no violence or bloodshed in the entire adventure series. However let’s still look at each individually.

Adam’s Venture: Origins
“Adam’s Venture” is a 3D adventure, stealth and puzzle game in the tradition of Tomb Raider. Just without monsters. But with a companion who could be the “Tomb Raider”. Just without guns. But a sharp tongue. ;-)
So far I had fun playing it, but you should be aware that it’s a strictly linear game. Sometimes it feels like there’s more to explore… but there isn’t. All dead ends, just one single way to go, one single thing to do. Environment can be pretty large at times and is overall beautifully crafted and textured. Character movement animations are a bit stiff, buuuuuut it’s OK.

Adam Venture Origins is simply a 2016 next-gen reimagining of the previous trilogy. Essentially it’s the same franchise we have already probably played with only a few differences here and there.
Changed…
-
Lizard no longer does river dance in the sky.
-
More plants and flowers everywhere.
-
Snake monster now sparkles too.
-
Puzzles have been made easier so that those asleep at the keyboard can solve.
-
Adam Venture has lost weight. His MC Hammer pants have been thrown out.
Other than that it’s essentially the same trilogy with a few differences in some of the previous endings.

Riddle of the Sphinx™ The Awakening (Enhanced Edition)
OVERALL RATING 9.5 / 10.
It took me around 20 hours to finally complete ROTS Enhanced, and I must say it was well worth the price (I’m including the DNCs I also purchased in my opinions: Night Exploration DLC and the Dead Ends/Hints DLC).
First, the DLCs I purchased:
-The Dead Ends (Hints) DLC helped a LOT along the way, when I needed it, which was once in a while. None of the “puzzles” were, to me, illogical…so with some help and nudging I was able to complete everything. There are a LOT of different areas in the game and thus a lot to cover, which the DLC does well. I also appreciated the way the Dead Ends DLC was structured: either hints OR direct solving ,depending on which area/node you were visiting during the game. Player’s choice, and the entire DLC was easily integrated into the game: right click during the game, then click on a menu icon, taking you to the menu where the Hints DLC resides, without quitting out of the game, per se.

Riddle of the Sphinx is a point and click adventure game that was released in 2000. Recently, it has been “remastered” and updated to run on the latest systems. I was very excited to hear that this game was coming to steam and even more excited to hear that the game was being updated. I remember playing this game back when it was first released and I recall loving it then. I was looking forward to reliving fond memories of an awesome game that combined two loves of mine. Puzzles and Ancient Egypt.

TIERRA - Mystery Point & Click Adventure
I am a novice player and I am enjoying this game. It is pretty basic –point and click to move round, etc. The graphics and audio are just right imo. Perhaps the puzzles and gameplay might not appeal to more seasoned players but I like it. Actually, I am stuck at a puzzle at the moment and am hoping the developer will read my plea for help lol. I hope I can finish this!
