Looks nice, but The English Haunting seemed like a lot of text and not much gameplay (not that i played it).
So hope this one is different.

I've just realized I'd never thanked you for this thread, it's the single most useful SG thread for me, one of two main sources of info about new adventure games. So yeah, thank you, I really appreciate it!

Thank you, i appreciate the kind words and nice that others appreciate it.

Lately also thinking of reviving https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/vgHUs/retro-games-on-steam but that might be a bit much, also with the soon removed from steam thread.

Yeah i think that's gonna make the list too long, and even many that were supposed to come out in 2025 (and still say) will have to hurry with almost 3 months left. Although it would be nice to see what's ahead, how do you search for them? Manually?

Simon Origins was also supposed to be released fall 2024, just a lot of postponements.

I am kinda afraid that Laura Bow has little to do with the two originals. :x Like with Larry Reloaded without Al Lowe (although i didn't think Wet Dreams was bad) or the last King's Quest.

From here i get the list of games with a release date:
https://store.steampowered.com/search/?tags=1698&category1=998&filter=comingsoon&ndl=1

And here all the games (including coming soon and TBA):
https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Released_DESC&tags=1698&category1=998&filter=comingsoon&ndl=1

but there's a lot of spam (hundreds of mistagged games as "point and click"), only around 8% of the games are really P&C.

In the group Coalition of point and clickers you can subscribe to a discussion with the upcoming games:

Yeah sadly a lot are mistagged, first for a while HOG games (whatever happened to that genre?) and now it's all those find the missing cats games.

What you can do is: https://store.steampowered.com/category/adventure_point_click?flavor=popularcomingsoon
I don't know how far you can scroll though and even those you still have mistagged games, but less though.

Thanks for the group, that looks interesting.

Yes, first HOG that with a lot of good wiil you could say that are simple P&C with lots of hidden objects mini games, then the find Waldo mostly with cats, Clickers, Visual novels, any porn game and any game that is mostly controlled with a mouse instead of a keyboard or gamepad.

I'm actually surprised that using the same idiotic logic they haven't started tagging FPS as P&C after all you are using the mouse to aim (POINT) and shoot (CLICK). Even the first Lucasfilm games had a crosshair for a cursor!!! What more evidence do you need? ;)
