While the days of LucasArts making games that are worth a damn are more or less gone in this gamer’s eyes, the adventure genre is not, although it takes a little more effort to track down the gems. The Indiegames website was kind enough to compile an excellent list of the best indie adventure freeware of 2007, which I will share here is hopes I can ease the pain of those of you cursed with office ennui:
1. Fedora Spade
2. Covert Front
3. Anika’s Odyssey
4. Rorschach
5. The Infinity String
6. Fate by Numbers
7. Masq
8. Dr. Lutz and the Time Travel Machine
9. A Tale of Two Kingdoms
10. Ben Jordan Case 6
11. Nelly Cootalot: Spoonbeaks Ahoy
12. Passage
13. Soup ver 0.9
14. Rückblende (Flashback)
15. The Adventures of Cagney
16. What Makes You Tick
17. Stranded 2
18. Menulis and Miestas
19. Thule Trail
20. Fighting Fantasy Project
Nelly Cootalot alone is enough to make me love this list, for every time I say it aloud I find myself giggling and throughly enjoying my own childishness. If you like indie stuff, go check these out and show your support! Every little bit helps when it comes to indie games and the people who make them, so do your part and have a real eason to brag about your own awesomeness.
