I'm hoping someone can help me with a rather unusual problem with Black Mirror 1 (Steam version).

A long time ago I installed a complete savegame pack to get past the star puzzle. Ever since then, all those chapter saves have been permanently stuck in my game — they reappear after every reinstall, on every hard drive, no matter what I do.

After extensive debugging with Process Monitor, I finally found the cause: the saves are embedded directly in data.adb. The engine reads this file on startup and reconstructs the save slots from it every single time. Steam's file verification doesn't help because it considers the file valid.

I would really appreciate it if someone with a clean, unmodified Steam installation of Black Mirror 1 could share their data.adb file with me. The file should be around 2.1 MB and located in the game's main folder:

SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Black Mirror\data.adb

If you're willing to help, please either upload it here or send me a private message. Thank you so much!]]>

I know, i know... I'm new here. 
Just wanted to drop in saying I'm releasing Solis May 29 on Steam. A game I've worked on for years. 

Wishlist now on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/3382310/Solis/

Solis is a narrative driven hand drawn side scrolling adventure. I know, a mouthful. 
It's also a breeze, you can finish it in an evening. 

Some info:

The city of Solis never sleeps — and tonight, neither will you. Elixer, the company you've dedicated yourself to, has gathered its people for an end-of-year celebration with a staggering promise at its heart: eternal life. But as the night wears on, the curtain slowly pulls back — and what lies behind it will change everything.
Solis is yours to explore at your own pace. Wander its streets, ride the metro across the city, investigate your surroundings, and speak with the inhabitants and colleagues you meet along the way. Every corner holds a clue. Every conversation shapes your understanding of the world around you.
Nothing you do goes unnoticed. Decisions carry weight, rippling forward into the events that follow. Through a fluid, story-driven dialogue system powered by Ink, your choices feel natural — and their consequences, real.

Release date: May 29 (PC | MAC | Linux)

Demo (PC) Available

Would love to hear what you think!]]>

A small, brief... and devastating Adventure Game]]> https://community.adventuregamehotspot.com/showthread.php?tid=683 Tue, 12 May 2026 12:36:36 -0700 PIEDRA_Adventure_Gaming]]> https://community.adventuregamehotspot.com/showthread.php?tid=683 Luna's Room releases on May 14 — a Spanish indie point & click by DonutDroid that runs about an hour.
What starts as the story of a young girl locked in a room with her cat (who suddenly starts talking) ends up somewhere much darker than you'd expect.

Put together a review covering everything worth knowing without spoiling it. Small game, sure, but it stays with you.

Subtitles available in several languages.

For a game with Christopher Lloyd, Tim Curry and Dan Castellaneta in the cast, and animation work that still holds up today, it's strange how rarely it comes up in conversations about the great nineties point & clicks.

Curious what people here remember. Did you finish it back in the day? Did the second half land for you, or did the difficulty spike kill the momentum? And does anyone still hold out hope for the unreleased sequel material the fan community has been chasing for years?

I put together an in-depth video on it recently digging into the production story too, in case anyone wants to go down that rabbit hole afterwards — but mostly I'd love to hear what you remember.

Adventure games have been a huge part of my life for years, so creating one myself has been a dream come true. After a long development journey, I’m finally ready to share it.
Crimes that defy logic. Evidence that should not exist. A third-person point-and-click adventure about a special police unit investigating seemingly impossible cases - where the key question is not who did it, but how it could possibly have happened.

The game is completely free to play.

You can find a full description, screenshots, trailer, and download link below.

MAY 2026 Releases]]> https://community.adventuregamehotspot.com/showthread.php?tid=674 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 14:52:16 -0700 PIEDRA_Adventure_Gaming]]> https://community.adventuregamehotspot.com/showthread.php?tid=674 After a fairly quiet first quarter, May 2026 has arrived absolutely loaded with adventure game releases. From what I've been able to gather, it's the busiest month for point & click so far this year, and by a clear margin. Almost a new release every week.

I put together a rundown of all 13 upcoming titles, with quite a bit of variety: visual novels, (mostly) classic point & clicks, a couple of Spanish releases, and some small indie projects flying way under the radar.

Leaving it here in case it helps anyone plan their month or discover something new. The video has subtitles available in several languages, so feel free to switch them on if you need to. Curious to hear which ones caught your eye — I'm convinced there's at least one that deserves more attention than it's getting.
