Doodles and Thoughts

Figured it was time to update that commission post.

Shadows of the Afterland, a cartoony point-&-click game

Madrid, 1960. A chilling incident unfolds at the city's old zoo, leading to a mysterious death that propels a soul to the threshold between the world of the living and the afterlife. But when the transition goes awry, the soul arrives with the memories of Carolina, one of the pioneers of the Madrid police force, who has not yet been born. Step into Carolina's shoes and immerse yourself in a detective mystery to unravel the enigma shrouding these events. Explore the wacky realm of the afterlife, teeming with unique characters and with its own rules.

The Midnight Walk, a dark fantasy from the makers of Lost in Random.

Embark upon The Midnight Walk in this reverent dark fantasy adventure built in clay, from the minds behind Lost in Random and Fe. Become The Burnt One, befriend a lost lantern creature named Potboy, and use his flame to light your way through a conflicting world of wonder and suspense. Survive and outsmart the many monsters eager to devour your little friend’s flame as you experience five tales of fire and darkness, featuring an incredible cast of odd characters.

and finally Foolish Mortals, another point-&-click that describes itself as "merry and macabre"

Louisiana, 1933. Thirty years ago an entire wedding suddenly & mysteriously vanished on the island of Devil's Rock, and with it went the location of the lost treasure of Bellemore Manor. To find it, you might need to die too. A cozy, story-driven, point & click adventure game of the merry & macabre.

I'd love to get and play all of these at some point but I only have so much money and hey what are friends for is not to get second, third, etc opinions.

And we got to indulge in our inner children with the best side story of the game, had an epic rescue of a space squid which was really an allegory for medical trauma, listened to a corporate stooge villain monologue about taking over creativity, adopted baby dragons, and played Scifi SSX Tricky.
