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.

Universe is a classic 1994 point-and-click adventure game developed and published by Core Design. Players step into the shoes of Boris, who is unexpectedly transported to a sprawling, high-tech science fiction galaxy where he must solve intricate puzzles to find a way back home. Navigating through atmospheric environments, interacting with bizarre alien characters, and uncovering a deep narrative mystery define the core gameplay experience. Fans of retro graphic adventures will find a nostalgic challenge reminiscent of the golden era of PC gaming.
