Point-and-click adventure games

Today I finished The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief. It's a point-and-click adventure game and at a first glance you seem to play as a middle-aged Swiss police man trying to solve a robbery and catch a thief. The game is divided into three chapters and although it gets a bit tedious at times, the whole atmosphere of the game is like being in the middle of an Agatha Christie novel. The graphics of the game aren't the best, most noticeably so during conversations with the characters and their faces hardly move or not at all, but I do love the feeling of being the detective trying to solve a robbery. The ending is a twist (I really did not see that coming).

I had my suspicions all throughout the game who the Raven would be. But all my assumptions were wrong. Are you better at deduction than I am? ;)

Violett is another point-and-click adventure game that I started playing back in December, but haven't really got around to continue it. The combinations with which you do stuff is kind of preposterous and several times I just feel exasperated. But at the same time I can't help but loving the graphics and the weirdness of the game. We play as Violett, a girl who has been forced to move from the city and all her friends to a big house on the countryside. She's really mad about it. Accidentally she discovers a way to a different and magical world, from which she has to escape if she ever wants to see her parents again. It also seems to be loosely based on Neil Gaiman's Coraline. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm working on it! :)

And she seems to have a magical uncle...
