Being the one true genre to rule them all, the adventure game is, among other things, the thing that made game funding on Kickstarter a thing. A good thing too, if you ask me, that also breathed new energy into indie point-and-clicking, as those five, most intriguing adventure games asking for your help would happily attest to.

Here they are:





Her Majesty’s SPIFFING. A very British, very promising and sensibly traditional adventure going for the humorous sci-fi effect.



Bolt Riley: A Reggae Adventure simply has to happen. The Coles are working on it, its demo is amazing and, well, reggae!



The Dead Flower Case from the people who gave us Syberia and Amerzone. You already know if you want this or not. The visuals are stunning already; as was to be expected.



If Star Trek and Greek mythology had a child that was being looked after by an animating nanny and a game designing butler, it’d be no other than Jason the Greek. A cartoony adventure set in ancient Greece that comes with a contemporary demo.



Haven’t played many isometric point-and-clickers, but judging from the STASIS demo (demo d/l link), they do work. As do horror adventure STASIS and its gorgeous graphics.
