New point-and-click from the makers of Primordia
The headline is a compliment.Strangelandis a psychological horror game and I am a giant wuss; something would be wrong if I didn’t find it actively repulsive.
You, though, you might be made of stronger stuff than me, in which case you’ll be glad to learn the Wadjet Eye-published point-and-click adventure from the makers ofPrimordiais out now.
Here’s the trailer that made me go nope:

Strangeland takes place in a nightmarish carnival in which a woman hurls herself down a well, and you set out looking for answers. You meet “jeering ravens, an eyeless scribe, a living furnace, a mismade mermaid” and chat and puzzle to progress in traditinal point-and-click style.
Nottootraditional, mind. The developers say they’ve tried to “remove the punitive aspects of adventure games”, like “dead ends, illogical puzzles, [and] pixel hunting”. There’s also an integrated hint system you can use, if you get stuck. That’s welcoming, even if it’s welcoming you into a giant nightmare clown mouth.
Strangelands is out nowon SteamandGOGfor £10.25/$13.49/€11.24, if you’ve got a spine where your spine should be, unlike me.
