RE: Suggestions For Next Community Playthrough - Joe - 10-28-2025
As I said before, I would like to play a game that is truly hardcore in terms of difficulty, like Discworld or Blue Ice. In fact, I think those games should be played without a leader, so beating the game would truly be a community effort.

It's good to know that leaderless community playthroughs are an option for games that will suit it.

The community aspect is two-fold from my personal viewpoint:
1. Sharing in our differing interpretations of an adventure game. What we like and dislike, would improve, etc.
2. Helping each other out with puzzles when necessary. It feels like a team effort in those moments.
Whereas the hardship from slogging through a notoriously difficult game is not the shared experience I'm desperately seeking out.

I would join in with a playthrough of any of the games suggested so far except for Discworld (as much as I like it) & Blue Ice because of their difficulty.

All the game suggestions so far sound great. The only one I don't have access to is Kathy Rain 2 as it's quite new and out of my price range.
RE: Suggestions For Next Community Playthrough - BobVP - 11-05-2025
Anyone up for leading a game? More suggestions are welcome as well.
The idea of a difficult game as a leaderless community effort is intriguing. Could you explain how it would work? I'll add Discworld and Blue Ice to the list.
RE: Suggestions For Next Community Playthrough - BobVP - 11-06-2025
Here's the options so far. Add a personal favourite, something from your backlog or a game you'd like to revisit. You don't need to lead it; someone else might be up for the job.
NEW GAME CPT:
The Council - no leader yet.
Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer leader BobVP (or anyone else up to the task).
THROWBACK:
Blackwell Unbound - leader BobVP
FREEWARE:
Out Of Order by Hungry Software no leader yet.
King's Quest II remake - leader BobVP
Clotilde Soffritti in: Never Double Park your Spaceship. leader BobVP
added:
Flight of the Amazon Queen - no leader yet
DIFFICULT:
Discworld no leader?
Blue Ice no leader?
RE: Suggestions For Next Community Playthrough - LeftHandedGuitarist - 11-06-2025
I'd like to throw Flight of the Amazon Queen into the suggestion box, a classic which I've still never played. I believe it's also now freeware.

That is correct, it was re-released as freeware ages ago back in 2004. Here is a direct link to the ScummVM download section for getting Flight of the Amazon Queen:

RE: Suggestions For Next Community Playthrough - SunnyNoot - 11-07-2025
Hmm I would love to try a lot of those actually c':
We've just finished IMAGiNE (I didn't talk but I played it) and I would like an easier one before diving back again in a difficult AG. Discworld is definitely in my list though.
Flight of the Amazon Queen is very nice, even if fresher in my mind.
Kathy Rain 2 and King's Quest 2 I haven't done 1 so not those for me.
There is a lot of propositions so far, so I won't give more, I'll see what we'll lend on
RE: Suggestions For Next Community Playthrough - ClusterLizard - 11-07-2025
I'd be fine playing any of the suggestions so far. I've already played Blackwell Unbound and Flight of the Amazon Queen but it's been a while for both of them so I wouldn't mind replaying.
By the way, in another thread BobVP responded to BehindTimes with a suggestion of a possible text adventure community playthrough if there was interest: https://community.adventuregamehotspot.com/showthread.php?tid=358&pid=1842#pid1842
As someone who has never really scratched the surface of text adventures I quite like the sound of that if it were to happen and I'd try to participate if there was one.
