In our latest episode of the Adventure Games Podcast this time Laura Cress, aka “Cressup” takes over the podcast as she is joined by Kieran Childs, Johnny Nys and new joiner Vicky Sykes as they take a look at three recent mystery adventures.
First up is The Tragedy at Deer Creek, a cinematic point-and-click adventure from Sparrowland. We head into a remote, abandoned logging camp with photographer Charlotte Gray, uncovering fragments of the lives and secrets of the people who once lived there.
Next, we dive beneath the waves for The Mermaid Mask from SFB Games. Detective Grimoire and Sally find themselves investigating an impossible locked-room murder aboard a bizarre submarine, surrounded by a cast of eccentric suspects.
Finally, we investigate The Incident at Galley House, from Evil Trout and William Rous. Something terrible happened at Galley House in 1936, and decades later we have access to a strange machine capable of revealing echoes of the past. Can we piece together what really happened?

In the latest episode of the Adventure Games Podcast Matt Latham finally completes his takeover of the podcast while Seoirse is on holiday enjoying his 40th birthday. Joining him in his takeover is Johnny Nys, the nicest guy in adventure games, as they discuss 4 very different and unique adventure games.
First we head into the neon-lit world of Midnight Saturn, where a grizzled private detective investigates a murder that may have an otherworldly connection. Then it’s off to the bizarre corporate world of The Biggleboss Incident, a point-and-click comedy thriller packed with office bureaucracy, conspiracy and fully voiced characters.
Next, we sample the wonderfully chaotic Uncle Lee’s Cookbook, a collection of five reality-bending adventures featuring strange inventions, science, magic and plenty of things going spectacularly wrong. Finally, we turn to the much more personal and emotionally challenging The Quiet Things, an autobiographical narrative adventure based on real diary entries and exploring a young girl’s fractured childhood in 00s England.

Content note: The Quiet Things deals with difficult themes including childhood abuse, self-harm, suicide and sexual assault.
