Hi, i've given away a few HOGs in the past and it got me thinking: "Why don't i try one of these games?", but i have zero experience with this type of game. It would be really nice if you could recommend me some HOGs that are good or interesting and beginner friendly.

Thank you! :3

Edit: Many thanks for the recommendations! I've added loads of games to my wishlist and have gotten Grim Legends 1&2! :3

don't know if it was recommended already but this one is really great: http://store.steampowered.com/app/302130/

It is Brink of Consciousnes Dorian Gray Syndrome

There is another Brink of Consciouness game, but have not played it myself yet: http://store.steampowered.com/app/327370/

I only played the first, like I said, but it blew me off my socks!
It is really good, so enjoy! :-)

The second (prequel) has a better story structure and more dialogue, also in a sense it is a better thriller, but the game mechanics are subpar as it uses typical HOG logic with item placement (like one of the main character's personal possessions is hidden behind a random puzzle-locked wall segment in a random mansion because… reasons). Still an excellent, excellent game.

I can only second the recommendation for Artifex Mundi's games. I really enjoyed the ones I played.

Steam only has one of the Dark Parable games, The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide. http://store.steampowered.com/app/453390/ but the entire series is fantastic. You can pick up the other ones at bigfishgames if you're interested, or I think they're available as an ios app and an android app. The whole series revolves around solving fairy-tale mysteries, and my favorite is probably the Last Cinderella.

Just checked the Google play store and they have a full lineup of Dark Parable games. Will keep an eye out for these. Thank you :3

You may want to try Angelica Weaver: Catch Me When You Can too. http://store.steampowered.com/app/218700/
Note: (apparently) It has a game-breaking bug which I didn't encounter. Buy at your own risk. (:

I'v eskiimed through the reviews for that one and they say that the bug only shows itself if you quit the game during a puzzle. Thank you for the recommendation, added to my wishlist. :3

I am currently playing Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride. It is a good game. Will play Grim Legends 2 after I am done with the first part.
