The Steam Summer Sale is on and there's plenty of threads asking for great deals and hidden gems. So let's jump on that bandwagon! Anybody spotted any good deals on adventure games in the Steam sale?

Here's a few cheap and good experiences I spotted:

Broken Age: $3.74

Sam and Max Hit the Road: $2.09

Space Quest Collection: $6.59

The 7th Guest 25th Anniversary Edition: $7.49

Thimbleweed Park 😃 A great point and click adventure by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick. I love it a lot

Such a good game. I think I like it even more than Return to Monkey Island.

Some recent ones I like that I haven't seen mentioned yet are
NORCO
Thaumistry
The Nick Bounty trilogy
The Aching
Blood Nova

And then some games that aren't traditional adventure games but have some adventure game or Interactive Fiction elements:
Lake
Citizen Sleeper
Cartomancy Anthology

Lucy Dreaming

Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit

Highly recommend the Case of the Golden Idol. Really incredible game.

[–] kinsnik@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

[–] kinsnik@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly can't go wrong with anything in the WEG catalog: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/WadjetEyeGames

Yeap, I can definitely recommend Gemini Rue, The Blackwell Games, Technobabylon, and Unavowed. All of them are decent and hearken back to the good old days of point-and-click adventure games.

Has anyone played Roadwarden yet? I'm downloading the demo now, but it's 33% off and relatively new (released in September '22).

Planning on playing it this month for the monthly adventure game club I organize. It looks really cool and I think it's getting some sort of spinoff or game set in the same universe later this year
