NUTS - A Surveillance Mystery By: Noodlecake / Joon, Pol, Muuutsch, Char & Torfi NUTS is a new Apple Arcade game that's full of charm, but also very confusing because nothing is really explained, including its user interface. I'm still playing the game myself, but I thought I'd make a short guide to help people get started if they're stuck near the beginning. Feel free to ask for extra help in the…

A Monster's Expedition By: Draknek Limited I'm a big fan of Draknek's (aka Alan Hazelden) puzzle games, such as A Good Snowman is Hard to Build and Cosmic Express. They're fantastic examples of games that are challenging in all the right ways, making it easy to experiment and work out the solutions without being penalized for mistakes.

Beyond a Steel Sky By: Revolution Software Beyond a Steel Sky is the sequel of Revolution Software's classic point-and-click adventure, Beneath a Steel Sky.

So this walkthrough guide should help you if you get stuck. Feel free to ask for extra help in the…
