Overview
Description

Set during a typical Halloween eve, Alien Incident follows a young boy named Benjamin as he witnesses his uncle activate a mysterious Worm Hole Spawner. When an alien spaceship accidentally enters the rift and its crew abducts Benjamin's uncle, it is up to the hidden boy to solve the mystery, rescue his relative, and save the galaxy. Developed by Housemarque and originally released in 1996, this comical point-and-click adventure combines classic puzzle-solving gameplay with a humorous science fiction storyline. Players must explore the spooky mansion and beyond, interacting with strange environments and uncovering bizarre secrets to succeed in their mission.

The Room is a quirky point‑and‑click adventure that reimagines the infamous 2003 film in a retro 16‑bit style. Players control Johnny, navigating surreal levels that expand on the movie’s plot with hidden spoons, alien revelations, and comedic in‑jokes.
