Dark point-and-click mysteries

These nine games from Dark Dome Studios put you inside haunted houses, small towns and shadowy other places where you search rooms, collect objects and connect clues to move forward. Ghost Case has you reopening an old murder with help from unexplained messages, while Nowhere House sends you through shifting versions of a witch's home and Unwanted Experiment lets you alternate between two captives in a lab. Expect slow exploration, inventory puzzles and short scary stories that resolve through careful looking rather than quick reflexes.
