A mysterious house, a stormy night, and a stranded wanderer set the stage for "Shelter from the Storm," the latest release from indie developer Home Groan Games. This compact point-and-click adventure, crafted using the Phaser game engine, offers a nostalgic journey that players can complete in around 30 minutes.
The game embraces its retro roots with deliberate low-resolution pixel art and a classic 4:3 aspect ratio, while modernizing the point-and-click formula with streamlined interactions. Players won't need to resort to the genre's infamous "try everything with everything" approach, as the game intelligently suggests object combinations when they make sense.
What sets "Shelter from the Storm" apart is its focused scope and accessibility. The developer has crafted a complete adventure experience that respects players' time, perfect for those looking to squeeze a complete story into their busy schedules. With a dash of humor sprinkled throughout, the game balances its eerie atmosphere with lighter moments.
You can download "Shelter from the Storm" for free on Steam, or play it on itch.io, making it an easy recommendation for fans of classic adventure games or anyone seeking a quick atmospheric escape. And if you enjoy the game please do considering buy the Cloak of Kindness DLC!
