King's Quest IV Retold

Due to an excellent video series on King's Quest IV by YouTuber OneShortEye, here: https://youtu.be/Wbo9TEbcVdY and https://youtu.be/XLwQbIUklzo ...

Laura Bow-inspired "The Crimson Diamond"

Last year, a solo indie dev launched a new game on Steam that they'd been working on for years. It's very "The Colonel's Bequest" inspired! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/The_Crimson_Diamond/ Reviews listed in the game description: REVIEWS “If you love the old murder mystery ga...
