Nostalgia’s a funny thing, and armed with the right tools, those infected by its bug for decades on end can turn out some amazing results. Case in point: this new breed of indie adventure games, heavily inspired by the Sierra and LucasArts point-and-click games of yesteryear, when Monkey Island, King’s Quest and others dominated our boxy old PC monitors.
A few recent games have successfully replicated their feel, but PC game Kathy Rain arguably comes the closest to absolutely nailing the vibe.
