A free game inspired by Umberto Eco's novel and Jean-Jaques Annaud's film "The Name of the Rose", and based on the game "La abadía del crimen" by Paco Menéndez and Juan Delcán.
Don’t follow several and odd sophistical doctrines that spread pestiferous seeds – wrote Clement VI himself in the year 1346 to the masters and alumni from Paris University.
The Pontifex addressed in his letters to the doctrine of an illustrious Franciscan monk of English origin named William of Occam, who ran away several years earlier from the prison of Avignon, accused of heresy. He had been imprisoned for four years, until he could escape, and shought asylum in the court of Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria, who was at odds with Pope John XXII.
When the Emperor died, William wanted to return to the mission with his order and the church, so he traveled to Italy with his young novice to meet Bernardo Gui, who was the head of the Inquisition at that time in that region, and, ultimately, the representative of the Pope.
However we cannot know for certain whether William achieved his goal. Only the testimony left by his disciple years after the events happened, in a collection of scrolls; where those amazing and terrible events that happened during the week William and him spent in the abbey the meeting was scheduled were described.
The testimony of the story you are about to revive…
In this game you play as a Franciscan, Fray William of Occam and his young novice Adso of Melk on a quest to discover the perpetrator of a series of murders in a Benedictine abbey. The entire game is played in an isometric 3D environment, with a series of objects that has to be collected in order to successfully complete the game.

You put your mastery of stealth to the test in a tense mission.
Armed with an arsenal of advanced gadgets, you dodge security systems, outsmart the guards and make some interesting discoveries.
There might be more to these artifacts than meets the eye…
Open-Ended Level Design
We offer freedom of choice with our open-ended level design that allows you to complete the level how you want. Choose your own path through the palazzo and past the guards.

Estranged tells the story of a lone fisherman, whose ship is stranded on a mysterious island during a violent storm.
Explore the rich environments and meet the curious inhabitants of the island as you find a way back to the mainland. Face both danger and intrigue in this perilous adventure, where you will soon find that not everything is as normal as it seems.
Features
Original Gameplay and Story - The game features around an hour of story driven gameplay. It includes a completely original cast, with a carefully crafted script to bring the Estranged world to life.
Amazing Graphics - Estranged is built on the same engine Half-Life 2 runs, with some additional features. We have extended the dynamic lighting system to allow us to illuminate our levels in a realistic manner, and have included effects such as film grain and lens flare to help create the atmosphere for the game.
Original Soundtrack - The soundtrack was written especially for Estranged, and was designed alongside the game's levels. The music matches gameplay, and helps to bring together the atmosphere in Estranged to bring the story to life.
Please note: This game uses some assets from Half-Life: 2. The two worlds are unrelated, and Estranged is not associated with the Half-Life franchise or Valve Corporation.

The Indifferent Wonder of an Edible Place is a short, interactive tale about a building eater consuming a tower on the edge of the town of Matsyapura. Using a blend of descriptive text and surrealist visuals it is our attempt to ponder the violence of erasure and the profound grief of having to survive on the margins of history.
In 1960 when the state of Bombay split like an egg on the jagged edge of the Western Ghats and formed the territories of Gujarat and Maharashtra, the town of Matsyapura was abandoned by government decree - to make it easier to draw a clean border between the new states.
Mir UmarHassan, the fabled Gujarati poet, lamented this willful and violent erasure of an ancient town and in a delightful satirical poem titled : The Building Eaters of Matsyapur, he wrote about the vapid consumption of a place and the creation of a populace that is devoid of the flavors of their individual and munificent past.
With recent cause to recollect the horror of the demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, and in solidarity with the protests against the draconian actions of our government - we are revisiting UmarHassan's original poem.
Created with support from Phoenix, Leicester. A site-specific variant of the game was displayed at Phoenix, Leicester. And at the Video Game Art Gallery in Chicago.

After being brutally abducted from his village in the wasteland, his village obliterated, and his kinfolk butchered, Robert Foster escapes a helicopter crash and finds himself alone save for the circuit board of his best friend, Joey, the AI he built as a child. Foster soon resurrects Joey and together they find themselves in Union City, where oppressed citizens live and work in soaring tower blocks, under the strict control of a brutal, fascist, AI dictatorship – whilst the corrupt, covetous and rich live below, shielded from the choking pollution.
In the melting pot of Union City, a not so impossible future, mankind’s worse nightmares are waiting to emerge from beneath the steel sky. It's Man against Man. Man against Machine. Man against Time.
Strangers in a strange land, Foster and Joey must survive long enough to discover the sinister truth behind his abduction - why they specifically came for him - and defeat the evil before it’s too late. It’s a terrifying threat that only you can liberate… Maybe.
Featuring Revolution's Software innovative Virtual Theatre system, Beneath a Steel Sky is a gripping cyberpunk science fiction point and click adventure game.

You wake up in an abandoned space station. Alone. GO.
Who: You. Just you. All by yourself.
What: You're trying to find a way out.
When: Depends on who you ask.
Where: An abandoned space station.
Why: Be honest – do we ever know why?
How: Find clues. Solve a puzzle. Get scared. Get out.
We Went Back is roughly a 30-50 minute experience. Here's what we love about it:
Dynamically Changing Environments
You can experience multiple changes within the space station's environment. The devil is in the details.
Escape Room Style Gameplay
Love escape rooms? So do we! There are clues to find and a puzzle to solve. The environment holds the key.
70's Inspired Retro-Futuristic Art Style
Everything is influenced by that old-school space aesthetic we all love, from each poster all the way down to the teensiest decal.
There's a Rat
We have a rat. No, you cannot pet him but he’s loved nonetheless.

The first thing you need to know is that ghosts are real.
The rest, you can only learn on your own.
Follow three stories set in a world where the dead linger, and things far worse wait beyond the veil.
The Phantom Ice Cream Truck
Follow a denizen of the border between life and dead as he answers the call to rescue a missing child.
Perceptions of the Dead
Tyrone has made it his business to solve the troubles of those afflicted by the undead, but what seems like a case of a benign haunting may find him risking more than his life, but his very soul.
Live with Jill Count
Jill has had moderate success as a streamer, and to mix things up, this Halloween she is going to life-stream a visit to a haunted hospital. The twist? It's actually haunted.

Well, that was weird! When I posted I was having a problem with the banner for Perceptions of the Dead. I couldn't get it to post and then when I come back there are four of them. Don't know if it was Proboards, Postimage or my computer or ghosts of games past. pennmom,Pick up Beneath a Steel Sky, too. It's a classic.

This only started last night. (its like my 'reactions' problems) Did you try to post 4 times?..and they all actually worked but you couldn't see? Just guessing around and reporting in.  |

joybelle, I did try to post it at least four times. I always go back through my posts to check for glaring errors before I close out the thread and it was fine then.It was easy enough to delete the extra banners so I won't worry about it unless it continues or becomes a wide spread problem. I am having an occasional issue with my mouse so that might be it.

“Under what?” is a short but very capacious story-tale about an old fisherman who suddenly faced the surface of the water. In this story there will be no dragons, the battle of good and evil, and other boring nonsense. But there will be some bad jokes and extraordinary characters.
This visual novel is absolutely free (so if you think to sell it to someone, do not forget to share the earnings). It doesn’t require on-time spell casting and late game artefacts. It is recommended in a relaxed atmosphere with a cup of tea.
I would call this project an interactive comic rather than a visual novel or game. I spent much more time on development than I thought. I hope you will enjoy it!

The Navigator is a serene puzzle game with gorgeous hand-drawn graphics.
