Too many with no quarter mentioned, also many eventually get postponed, especially quarter 3-4 (and 4 can be pushed to 2025), and if someone comes acrosss something not in the list, i think it's much easier to view it by alphabetical order.

Simon the Sorcerer Origins was also already supposed to be released if i am right.

Then there will be three sections and even more complicated, i think i keep it as i see fit here, and phsyically and mentally i am so drained espeically since january for some reason and just too many stuff going on right now in real life, that this is like on the bottom of my list.

Many adventure games got and will be postponed, most devs are on their own, just a slight movement in their life and time and it might be a year (or years) later, i think it's also a harder estimate then other games.
I use this daily. But somehow they also include sex/hentai crap.

But https://store.steampowered.com/app/620410/Exit_A_Biodelic_Adventure/ was already under march?

It also seems they removed the demo (since when are they removing demo's for what reason?) https://steamcommunity.com/app/1739900/discussions/0/4304949407572075506/
But i will add it.

Mortadelo_y_Filemn games have no English sub sadly

Also it's very scummy. They're 3 pairs of games which are bundled each with a game from 2019 that contains those 2 games. Also 2/3 of the older games are in english. so 4 of the 6 games could have been in english too.

Changed several games from Q1 to Q2.

I think some also went from 2024 to coming soon and perhaps will not come this year.

I don't but https://store.steampowered.com/app/2392160/Abscission/ was relesead 6 month after it showed in the store, also it seems it was a bug that it appeared to me since in steamdb says it's hidden and nothing changed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9QDm7argwo in the reply to the first comment says July/August.

Okay, i trust the youtube comment, but still they are seemingly working on 2 adventure games at the same time, albeit the first one was very short, why they could make them fast.

So maybe it's time for early 2025? (There are other 3 games for 2025 but 2 are in december and the other just the year)
Q1 2025 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2967630/The_Biggleboss_Incident/
I've been following the devlog for a while: https://www.youtube.com/@pcd

Also only in german (hopefully it get english transalation)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2961990/Dnnes_Eis__Das_Spiel_zum_Song/

No, we aren't even past half of this year, and there are still too many in the 2024 list with no date, and too many quarters keep getting moved and games postponed, i am betting half of those aren't even going to make it this year.

The german got added, different languages i have no objection against (i am lucky that dutch is similiar to german) but we also have mortadelo. And i miss the good old daedelic entertainment with their point and click adventures, wanting to try different genres? Sure, but why completely abandon it? Guessing maybe why that former developer left.

That's a good reason not to include it yet.

i am betting half of those aren't even going to make it this year.

That's also a good reason... to do include it, i think it's highly plausible that it's released before half of the games in the 2024 list.
Also adding Q1 2025 in May is like adding Q4 2024 in January, but i'll remind you later (maybe when games already listed change the release date to 2025?)

And i miss the good old daedelic entertainment with their point and click adventures, wanting to try different genres? Sure, but why completely abandon it?

I was curious too, and i found this:

If you find atleast a handful with the date of 2025 (and a month) and make a list of that like. Sure, I will add it that way.
2025:
Game a
Game b

I can totally understand the developer, a survival Deponia what were they thinking (or not) i mean if he feels his humour got taken away from the game, it was the same with Al Lowe and those newer Larry games.

With some games i struggle https://store.steampowered.com/app/1347560/Let_Bions_Be_Bygones/ It's not traditional point and click but it's IF (which is also retro) and it has certainly retro looks but also more of a walking sim (like in my opinion Darkside Detective also is, just walking left and right with some inventory items and yes in it's essence all point and click adventures are like that) then again it's also just my opinion others might say it fits the same list.
Although some choose your own adventure games i believe they even use AI in, but this is Microprose.

yeah not really point and click, it doesn't even seem to have inventory based puzzles, or puzzles at all. more like this https://store.steampowered.com/app/2872240/Lost_in_the_Roots/ and only games like this are IF for me https://store.steampowered.com/app/1943420/I_doesnt_exist__a_modern_text_adventure/
The tags are a disaster i wonder how CS2 is not tagged as P&C after all you aim (point) & shoot (click) with the mouse.

Reminds me this game https://store.steampowered.com/app/2428980/Bye_Sweet_Carole/ it could have been a great P&C game.

Although some choose your own adventure games i believe they even use AI in, but this is Microprose.

Microprose is like Lucas Arts or Sierra, a brand bought and thrown around, sadly they don't exist anymore.
