The Steam Summer Sale is on and there’s plenty of threads asking for great deals and hidden gems. So let’s jump on that bandwagon! Anybody spotted any good deals on adventure games in the Steam sale?

Here’s a few cheap and good experiences I spotted:

Broken Age: $3.74

Sam and Max Hit the Road: $2.09

Space Quest Collection: $6.59

The 7th Guest 25th Anniversary Edition: $7.49

Has anyone played Roadwarden yet? I’m downloading the demo now, but it’s 33% off and relatively new (released in September '22).

Update: I played Roadwarden for about 4 hours straight this morning, so yeah I think it’s going on my recommendations list. :)

Planning on playing it this month for the monthly adventure game club I organize. It looks really cool and I think it’s getting some sort of spinoff or game set in the same universe later this year

Honestly can’t go wrong with anything in the WEG catalog: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/WadjetEyeGames

Yeap, I can definitely recommend Gemini Rue, The Blackwell Games, Technobabylon, and Unavowed. All of them are decent and hearken back to the good old days of point-and-click adventure games.

Lucy Dreaming is fantastic. I played it on my stream last year with the developer.

I haven’t played any of those either. There’s a lot more adventure games on Steam than I thought…
