Not really sure if it's more machinarium style or true point and click, but added thanks.

Last 1 1/2 month been slow with new releases (and yes mortadelo, but they aren't even in english) nor really big announcements on the first 3 months.

Seems like a real point & click, but a simple one. Didn't notice about Mortadelo y Filemon, i think the older ones were in english.

I think there are some games previously without a firm release date, i'll check that later, but yeah nothing big. I was hyped with the implied Maniac Mansion return when RTMI was released but seems it was nothing.

Mine is safe. Since the new Latam and MENA regions (wich half of the times is almost double because they don't respect the suggested price and put the US one) i will only buy at 75% off and with the suggested price. Since that i haven't bought anything in Steam, just a bundle split for Nine Witches from Fanatical and the Golden Idol in Indie Gala with the old price.

There was Detective Hayseed - Hollywood (Polda 6) since 2016, and in the last couple of years Polda 7 and then 3 (but not in english), and after that Detective Hayseed - The Cloning Madness (Polda 2).

This one is the third in english (the first one that the title wasn't changed to Detective Hayseed)

Yeah overall it's a bit messy but also just a shame they can't be bothered to do them all in english, seems like a small part of making a game. I have foreign adventure games as i tend to collect them all, german is kinda related to dutch, so easy for me.
I have some other languages like polish i think, haven't tried those yet, i have no clue if that makes an adventure game impossible or just hard to play.

Although it can also actually make you learn a language.

And on a sidenote they made some horrible achievements with those hayseed games.

I'm not fully sure if it controls as a point and click or not, but it definitely gives off those vibes so it might be worth a mention. I've been recommended to look out for this game when it releases, which looks pretty cool: https://store.steampowered.com/app/924750/Harold_Halibut/

I always expected it to be a true point and click adventure, but it doesn't have a tag like that, and more walking simulator.
Personally i wouldn't count a game as Darkside Detective as a true (point and click) adventure either.

I don't think this just makes the cut, i will think about it, then again some others barely fit either.

Because they are different kind of games, a hidden object game, a walking simulator, telltale like games and many other adventure games without puzzles and some others with puzzles like escape rooms are not point and click. Full Throttle is a clasic point and click game no doubt about it.

In the 2024 list two games have already released

26 Jan https://store.steampowered.com/app/2577860/A_Night_at_the_Watermill/
6 Feb https://store.steampowered.com/app/1861440/CLeM/

and at the end Whispers_of_Prague_The_Executioners_Last_Cut is separated with a space from Universe_Has_No_Favorites instead of a newline.

They were already added, but in the list below with no date, you still need to remove them from there.

The list is fixed now for me, maybe it was the resolution or the font size that showed it in a new line for you, what i meant was the newline character (it was separated by space instead of enter)

Yes none of them for me. The other one is more a escape room game (like a HOG without hidden objects), but they were already added with no date and they were released now.

This is a game from 2021 I just though deserved some love, it's great, though it is point & click and puzzle its not exactly retro so idk if this counts for this thread, sorry!

There are many games here that are not retro, the problem is this one is not point & click also not even 2022 or 2023 are listed anymore.

The tag is very misused many tag any game that can be played with a mouse as P&C, even things like tower defense (i wonder how i haven´t seen FPS yet, after all you aim/point and shoot/click with the mouse) Others at least some games that share some characteristics (HOG, escape room, other games with puzzles even though they don't even have inventories)

I have submitted games that are really retro but they are technically not point and click because they have a text parser, that's not a problem in spanish since the genre is called "Aventura Grafica" (Graphic Adventure), so for me they are games with inventory based puzzles that don't fall in another category.

The list only goes back as far as to 2022 and mostly about what is to come, else i would have a very big time collecting them all and selecting them by each year up till 1984 or something.

Didn't know about that, but when/if all episodes are released even if the 6-8 hours playtime is exagerated multiplied by 7 it will be a long game.

Thanks to Telltale there were a lot of episodic games being announced, luckily this is the only recent one i recall.

Yes, it should be explicit. Steam could also have an exception for refunds, if the game is episodic and it's not reflected in the title you should be able to refund it regardless ot playtime or when you bought it.

I'll happily blame Windows. It's so much practical in Linux, to copy paste you select the text and then you just middle click where you want to paste.
