Game: Nightmare Adventures: The Turning Thorn

When you've played as many adventure games as I have, you just about do a dance of joy when a developer makes one that's not about ghosts or fairies or Victorian Times. You also want to do a little jig when they employ logic in their design and don't rely on unlikely contrivances. In making Nightmare Adventures: The Turning Thorn, Ghost Ship Studios has given people like us cause to happy-dance the night away by giving us a tightly-constructed adventure game that's fresh in setting, story and execution.
