Summertime Madness is the latest port done by Sometimes You, bringing a game that was previously available on PC to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Well recommended, and you get a lot of value for money here when you look at the game’s length. Unforeseen Incidents is one of the better indie point and click adventure games we’ve seen in recent years, and it’s been well ported to the Nintendo Switch, which as a platform – unlike the PC – isn’t overflowing with quality adventure games yet. While the user interface was originally designed for use on PCs where you’d likely use a mouse, it has been translated well to gamepad/handheld controls for the Switch conversion, and they never get in the way of your enjoyment – which is a good mix of puzzle solving, narrative development and conversations with generally well-developed and interesting characters. It does feel a bit more ‘indie’ than adventure games like Blacksad or even the older Broken Sword games though, which mainly shows in the crude animations but it easy to forgive in a well-crafted game like this.įans of point and click adventure games will feel right at home here, as progress through the story is made by finding objects, extracting information from conversations and combining and using said items to solve puzzles. Harper gets drawn into a much larger plot when he comes across a woman on the verge of death, tries to figure out how she got sick in the first place and needs to prevent this from becoming a plague.Īlthough the subject matter is somewhat dark, the game uses a comic book-esque visual style and features plenty of more lighthearted conversations that make Harper’s tale not feel bleak. In Unforeseen Incidents, you play as Harper Pendrell, who is an everyday kind of guy but gets caught up in a lengthy adventure that starts off with him just helping people out – something he’s used to doing thanks to a handy multi-tool he has with him. It’s a classic point and click adventure that draws inspiration from the likes of Broken Sword and was partly developed by Alisdair Beckett-King, who previously gave us Nelly Cootalot. Unforeseen Incidents was released by Application Systems Heidelberg way back in 2018 for PCs but has finally made it to the Nintendo Switch. Also featured are puzzle adventure Summertime Madness and run and gunner Queeny Army. Today’s look at a trio of recent ports points the spotlight at Unforeseen Incidents, a point and click adventure game about the threat of a global pandemic that originally came out in 2018 (yikes!).
