Hey there, folks! We’ve been trying to keep on top of all the news lately, but in all honesty, it clogs up the process a bit around here, and it makes the site harder to use for all of our kind readers, so starting today we’re going to break it down for you guys so you can get all the information you need without digging through a dozen articles! (Read More)

As time of yore known only as 'retro' trundles towards the early Nineties, developer Stone Monkey Studios has combined two cool but sort-of-incompatible things from 20-odd years ago: 2D adventure games and virtual reality. In a charming bit of creativity (not to mention creative marketing), the two-man team created an Oculus Rift mode for City Quest: A Point & Click Adventure where you play it on a 3D computer at a 3D desk in a 3D room. (Read More)

I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting much out of City Quest. It certainly doesn’t look like much, and “retro”-styled games are a dime a trillion these days. But I also spied loving odes to the LucasArts and Sierra adventures of yore on its website, so I decided I’d have a go at its free demo anyway. I’m quite happy I did. City Quest is that rare brand of adventure that plumbs the scummiest depths of tastefulness, yet manages to emerge not covered in, well, crap. It’s an unrelentingly witty little thing, constantly rewarding exploration and “what if…?” thinking with scrumptious details and rapid-fire joke flurries. They’re not all winners, but the hits far outweigh the misses. More info and a trailer after the break. (Read More)

The story is simple: your typical US Southerner hops on a plane to go to the big city, their luggage catches fire in the airport, then they have to hustle their way up through the big, alien city and learn the ropes as they do in order to come out on top. City Quest, it’s called, when country bumpkin meets the tall buildings and street lights. (Read More)

Hello friends! Ryan and Jon here again to make sweet sweet Stone Monkey love to your eyeballs! As of now, we’re just a smidge (yeah, I used the word smidge, wanna fight about it?) under halfway to our goal and to our end date! You’ve all been... (Read More)

If King's Quest (with maybe a little Space Quest and Leisure Suit Larry mixed in) had been set in a modern day metropolis, it might look a little something like City Quest, an indie comic adventure now seeking crowdfunding through Kickstarter. (Read More)
