Leisure Suit Larry In The Land Of The Lounge Lizards
Publisher: Replay Games
Release: Q2 2013
Link
The 25th anniversary remake of smutty point-and-click snigger-fest Leisure Suit Larry In The Land Of The Lounge Lizards achieved over $650,000 via its Kickstarter campaign. The return of Larry’s legendary creator Al Lowe is certainly encouraging after the series recent abysmal Lowe-less outings.

Jane Jensen’s Moebius
Publisher: Pinkerton Road Studio
Release: March
Link
Yet another Kickstarter appeal to point-and-click nostalgia, Moebius comes from “master storyteller” Jane Jensen, responsible for the Gabriel Knight games. Here, improbably-named antiques dealer Malachi Rector is hired by equally improbably-named billionaire Amble Dexter to investigate the death of a woman in Venice. Metaphysical thrills ensue.

Publisher: Far Studio
Release: October
Link
Wouldn’t you know it, it’s another successful Kickstarter campaign from the creators of a classic adventure series – this time Quest For Glory. A 2D point and click adventure game, unsurprisingly, with a snappy sense of humour.
