Hidden Gem: Whateverland
Although I usually love the idea of point-and-click games, I oftentimes end up pretty bored or craving more action, and no matter how good the story, it never seems to be enough to get me through the titles. This was true until I accompanied my wife on her journey to review the charming point-and-click adventure Whateverland.

Shadows of Doubt
What's it called when you smoosh cyberpunk and noir together? Noirpunk? Whatever it's called, Shadows of Doubt pulls it off perfectly in this first-person open-world mystery game from developer ColePowered Games. Actually, the developer says \"sci-fi noir\", and I can see why they'd want to keep this game divorced from the term cyberpunk.

World's Worst Handyman
I will admit that I thought that World's Worst Handyman was a different sort of game to what it is. I imagined something like Surgeon Simulator; but what I got was something more akin to Moving Out mixed with Hello Neighbor. It was probably just me misreading the description, but I certainly wasn't disappointed.

Mato Anomalies
Futuristic neo-noir games like Mato Anomalies are quite common to see, ranging from Deus-Ex, to Katana Zero, to Blade Runner, but a mix between a visual novel, a turn-based RPG, and a deck-building card battler is more unique.

Viewfinder - Another point of view
The chill environments of Viewfinder, with its blend of space-white, vaguely Modernist architecture and the odd bit of vegetation, makes us think of both Portal and The Witness. Like them it's also a first-person puzzler, with the latter's sense of mystery as to exactly what's going on and where we are. But, just like our enthusiastically voiced protagonist, we're mostly occupied by what we can do.
