@little-writer.bsky.social played Elroy and the Aliens adventure game, and wrote a review to Nice Game Hints, thanks! Apparently the puzzles are quite easy, as he didn't really need our hints for it. Read more what Johnny has to say about it: www.nicegamehints.com/a/elroy-and-...
So cool to get to publish a review from @little-writer.bsky.social ! Thank you Johnny! Puzzle-wise, Earth Must Die is quite simple, read more here: www.nicegamehints.com/a/earth-must...
"Earth Must Die!" is pure escapism with a very stylistic graphical design, which personally made me think of a combination of Disney’s "The Emperor’s New Groove" and Dreamworks’s "Megamind", except wrapped up in the absurd British humor of Douglas Adams. I reviewed it for @nicegamehints.bsky.social!

Is the arse-end of January too late for a 2025 round-up? Perhaps, but nobody has managed to stop me so far. Read all about the maps, guides, and mischief I've been up to 👇 buymeacoffee.com/westydesign/...

I can't express how much it means to win an award for Best Art & Animation. I've been doing the art for my games for nearly 25 years and only just got to the point where I thought it was "good" with Rosewater. Thank you again @agotyawards.bsky.social!

So happy to share that Foolish Mortals took the Best Puzzles Award, the Best Soundtrack, Effects, & Dubbing Award, and tied with Rosewater @grundislav.games for 2nd place in the Jury Award. Thank you @agotyawards.bsky.social & congratulations to all the awesome adventure games that released in 2025!

What did I do last weekend? I went to @adventurex.bsky.social 2025, of course! It was great meeting all the game devs, play demos, and chat about in-game hint systems. I finally met with @westydesign.bsky.social in live. Kieron wrote a report from the event: www.nicegamehints.com/a/report-adv...
I just backed Broken Relic - A Fantasy Point-and-Click Comedy Adventure on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/bro...

This game got good reviews also from our @westydesign.bsky.social (see here: www.nicegamehints.com/a/the-excava...). And if you are worried that you get stuck on a puzzle, he also wrote hints for you: www.nicegamehints.com/guide/hobs-b... Quite a no-brainer to try it out.
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is an all time high whopping 50% off on Steam!!! store.steampowered.com/app/1182310/...
The Drifter (by @dave.powerhoof.com) is yet another great #adventuregame for the 2025 lineup. I can strongly recommend the game, but be aware of the heavy subjects in the game. My review for the game is here: www.nicegamehints.com/a/the-drifte...

Very much looking forward to playing this when I’m in Melbs this year. 😂 (PS. I have been helping the devs with a little research and the interviews I’ve been conducting have been truly hilarious.)
thrilled to have had a microgame commissioned by ACMI for the Game Worlds exhibition! @secretlab.games & @yarnspinner.dev, with lots of help from @themartianlife.com & other amazing folks are making “Hint Line ‘93”, a game about answering phones at a game hint line! www.acmi.net.au/about/media/...
No matter which platform you play this really good point'n'click, you can take my hints with you. Don't get frustrated, get a hint at www.nicegamehints.com/guide/lucy-d.... This guide is special in that you can tell it about your progress and further avoid seeing spoilers.
Delighted to announce our PS4 & PS5 release date for Lucy Dreaming - July 31st! 😍 Also, we've updated the game to include French, Italian and Spanish versions available across all platforms! ❤️ lucy-dreaming.com/dev/lucy-dre... #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegamedeveloper #gamedev

What a neat little game! Poco, by Whalefall. Cool, short, and sweet 3d point'n'click about a small clown trying to get back to the circus. It has puzzles and we, of course, have hints for them: www.nicegamehints.com/guide/poco/ Go play the game, it's free: store.steampowered.com/app/3454610/...
Have you checked the demo for City of Voices? I liked it a lot. And the full-game will have an in-game hint system, as it should. If you wonder if your game should have hint system in it, contact me. More here: www.nicegamehints.com/game-devs
In the full game, we'll have a hint system. And I want it to make clear that there's no shame in using it if stuck. Much better than guessing or brute forcing. In the meantime, I'll write a demo hints post for the Steam discussions page. City of Voices demo: store.steampowered.com/app/3342470/...
Old Skies, by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social is, no less and no more, perfect adventure game. Here's my review of the game: www.nicegamehints.com/a/old-skies-...

Hey, finished writing low-spoiler hints for @grundislav.games game Rosewater. The game is unique in the way that every playthrough is unique. That also made writing the hints a little more challenging. You can find the hints here: www.nicegamehints.com/guide/rosewa...
