Funny that this game has more point and click games than GOG's recent Point and Click sale. There are some real gems in here, but the list of games I don't already own is short! :)

Indeed. But unfortunately the games I'm still interested in are far away from the good prices I've missed a few years ago. :(

Infinifactory is sitting on my wishlist. It's a Zachtronics game, and his stuff tends to be good. Some people ran into bugs per GOG reviews but since GOG reviews can't be edited, who knows if those are still applicable.

Anyway some comments on two games here that I have played. Mobile versions for both -

The House of Da Vinci if often described as a game you'll like if you like The Room. However while The Room involves a lot of thought into your actions and when its hiding something, it's because you need to adjust the camera angle to find a switch that's on the underside of a drawer you pulled out, you need to do some other stuff instead of being distracted by an obvious keyhole, or you need to use the eyepiece to see the world differently... The House of Da Vinci isn't like at all and more often than not, I felt like I was mindlessly tapping the screen looking for something that I could actually click on.

Gone Home really is a walking simulator inside a house. Although it's a really large house, the number of things that you actually need to do in this game can be counted on one hand. This means that most of this game is just walking around, picking up stuff, looking at it, then setting it back down that is all there to distract you from how little there is to actually do in this game. Some of these things will give you more information on why nobody is home to great you, but it doesn't change the fact that you're just wandering about a big empty house.


edit - noticed some odd sentence structure, fixed

Is Atlantis Evolution still the reedited version, not the very first Original PC version, isn´t it? I mean, nothing has changed since it was available in GOG?

I finished it some years ago and never ran into any noticeable bugs. It's my favorite Zachtronics game, though there are a few I haven't got around to yet. I wouldn't really trust GOG reviews that much, since some of them are outright lies (e.g. "No level editor"...if that's true, what do the "Custom Puzzle/New Puzzle" buttons do, hmm?).

That's just weird and trolling. It's also why there should be an option to report reviews where the review is scrutinized and removed. If a review for a game is saying that it lacks a level editor when there is one, it shouldn't matter if it is stand-alone or inside the game itself. The person is giving a false review that doesn't belong there because the only purpose of such a review is to intentionally hurt sales.

I was going to say the same thing, although I haven't played that many and stopped getting them since they don't work that well fully offline (you need an internet connection to see how your solution compares to others, with no other indication of generally how well you did). I also don't like the stories in the Zachtronics or the random dead bodies in Infinifactory. The interesting looking writing (not a "real" fake language) and the puzzles are nice. The 3D thing is annoying at times but also a nice distraction when you are trying to figure out how to make it work and looking at it from a different angle often helps!

Big Pharma is my favorite of those psuedo-programming games. There isn't as much of a complexity progression as the Zachtronics games but more of a jigsaw puzzle aspect of limited space and a nice randomization of details without much effect on difficulty from game to game (of the same scenereo, of which there are a bunch). There isn't really a story at all. Some ingredients do not sound vegan although it looks like the file with parts of names (that are randomized) is text and I'm guessing can be edited. I agree that Gone Home and Tacoma are best considered walking simulators. The looking at things part of Gone Home has a nice nostalgic aspect in my opinion if you recognize various items in the game and overall the feel of exploring the house is nice. I think the story was overhyped but not bad in my opinion, although I would say there is a stronger focus on the feel and location than on the story. Another one I like in that style is called Rainy Season (wishlist) and is just a random day that the developer remembered (slightly embellished). It is a nice way of communicating a certain feel of a place that is otherwise hard to communicate. Tacoma is a bit more story focused but not all that different. The main negative of Gone Home and Tacoma is that even though they were in the Humble Trove at one point the price here has never been all that low (it has been lower than the current price, though).

Not actually true! They've been updating them so the histograms get data from a local file rather than the internet. For some of the games anyway; I don't think Infinifactory does that yet, but e.g. Molek-Syntez is one. Clearly they're aware of the issue now that Zachtronics is shutting down, so hopefully all of them will be updated to get local data eventually. Yup! At least there should be a way to post comments on reviews, so even if the staff won't do anything, at least users can correct misinformation.

Good to hear! That will help quite a bit.
