The Little Acre

The Little Acre

The Little Acre is a charming hand-drawn point-and-click adventure with two playable characters and two very different settings. Players play as a young man named Aiden and his daughter Lily and must guide them around their home in 1950s Ireland and a strange alien world called Clonfira. However, the short duration and straightforward puzzles mean The Little Acre will be more appealing to newcomers to the genre and not so much to point-and-click adventure veterans.

Gameplay: The puzzles are logical, and the game is fun to play, but it is also very short, and the final part feels rushed.

Graphics: The hand-drawn animations are a highlight, but The Little Acre only has a few locations for players to explore.

Sound: The voice acting is decent for a small indie title, and the music is fitting but unmemorable

Blackwell Unbound

Blackwell Unbound

Blackwell Unbound is the second title in the Blackwell series, but it is a prequel instead of a sequel to The Blackwell Legacy. Instead of Roseangela, players take control of her aunt, Lauren Blackwell. Along with her spirit guide, Joey, Lauren must track down two ghosts and help them move on to the afterlife. However, to do so, she must first figure out what is keeping them from doing so themselves. Blackwell Unbound is short but entertaining, and despite some flaws, it will appeal to fans of classic point-and-click adventures. 

Gameplay: Players must talk to various NPCs and gather clues to piece together the mysteries of Blackwell Unbound.

Graphics: The visuals are designed to look like low-res titles from the DOS era and succeed in this regard.

Sound: The quality of the soundtrack and the voice acting are good.
