Stumbled upon this youtuber and I really like her style. As much as I enjoy digging through massive lists to find niche retro games to play, it can be nice to just kick back and watch a video review now and then.

Shadowgate is one of my favorites. There's 2 more in the "series", same style of gameplay with different storylines.

Deja Vu, a noir style PI story and The Uninvited where you're in a haunted house. Both games will still kill you a lot though, if that's your thing.

These knowledge-based games are probably why I got into Dark Souls.

Oh God, I repressed this game. My parents bought this for me when I was far to young to even know what the hell I was doing. I played it for hours and got no where.... I might enjoy it now but the .... It felt like a punishment

I personally think that such type of very difficult games should be played in small doses everyday, untile one has enough muscle memory.

But I am sure someone is dedicated enough to produce patches that balance the game experience more.

Muscle memory doesn't apply to shadowgate, it's a point and click sdventure
