Gateway 2, the sequel to the very successful Room Escape game Gateway created by Anders Gustafsson was just released yesterday!

Use your mouse to move your robot and interact with the environment.

Once again, the game includes very nice pseudo 3D animations and a few simple puzzles. And once again, the final result is a very stylish and polished game, easy to play and not so difficult.

Highly recommended for a 15 minute break!

Have fun!

Gateway 2 walkthrough!

Gateway is a short Room Escape game created by Anders Gustafsson.

The object here is to escape from 7 different rooms by solving simple puzzles. The author did an amazing job here: the game includes very nice pseudo 3D animations, a very well-done tutorial, a few realistic sounds, a save and load options, and the result is definitely superb!

The game is very stylish and polished, easy to play and not really difficult. Gateway is one of those perfect games for a 15 minute break. Simple and brilliant, I’m lookin forward to seeing a sequel.

Have fun!

Submachine 7 – The Core, the seventh installment in the most popular Room Escape series ever created, is live!

“The game starts in The Sanctuary but big machines have been build up and the great wall to the left has been destroyed.

You will soon find a portal gateway to the Winter Palace, which was build by Sir Henry o’Toole, the architect of the Lighthouse.

The garden of the palace strangely resembles the structure of the Subnet…”

Submachine 7 walkthrough in the comments
(thanks White Wolf!)

After a long wait, the first chapter of the Dream Machine is now online.

Created by Anders Gustafsson (the author of the popular Gateway series) and Erik Zaringa, this new Point’n’Click adventure series is amazingly well done, with all the scenes made out of clay and cardboard!

“You play as Victor and Alicia, a couple who’ve just moved in a new apartment.

While trying to get settled in, they soon discover that all is not as it seems in the quiet, unassuming apartment building…”

You will have to register in order to play the first chapter. Unfortunately the fourth next upcoming chapters won’t be free, and charged a few bucks each.  If they are as good as the first chapter, they will be well worth the cost!

The demo released last year was way too short, but this first chapter is definitely a must play game for fans of adventure games!

Have fun!

Edit: don’t click the “Play Demo” button or you will just play the demo! Register first and then select “the New Game” option!
