Kentucky Route Zero Netflix Games guide: Explore the realist adventure with touch controls
Now that Kentucky Route Zero is available through Netflix Games, let's explore how the game operates on the platform
Welcome to Kentucky Route Zero, a Netflix-exclusive game that promises a thrill of adventure, existentialism, and bizarre experiences. It's a narrative-driven story game told in five short acts while exploring debt, loneliness, and tragedy themes, and it's one of Android's best games. In Kentucky Route Zero, there's no need to worry about guns, magic, and power fantasies in a game deeply rooted in realism (with a few twists) and everyday life.
There's a new Leisure Suit Larry game on Android, and the series is just as filthy as ever
Wet Dreams Dry Twice is the sequel to Wet Dreams Don't Dry, now available on mobile
The last Leisure Suit Larry point-and-click adventure game to land on Android was Wet Dreams Don't Dry, back in 2019, which was a late arrival at the time. Well, following tradition, the sequel has finally come to mobile two years later than the PC and console releases. This sequel is appropriately called Wet Dreams Dry Twice, and much like Wet Dreams Don't Dry, it's a quirky sex-filled romp where you'll solve puzzles to advance the story of Larry still on the search for love.
Samorost 2 arrives on Android as a surprise release to celebrate the game's 15th anniversary
And it sports enhanced graphics, a new save system, plus fullscreen support
Amanita Design is probably best known for its point and click adventure game Machinarium, though Botanicula and CHUCHEL are also highly-regarded titles that offer similar gameplay. Of course, the studio started with a game called Samorost, and it has received two sequels since its 2003 browser-based release. Sadly only the third title in this quirky series has been available on Android. That is, until today. Amanita Design has just released Samorost 2 on the Play Store, and it sports improved graphics, a new save system, as well as fullscreen support, all to celebrate the game's fifteenth anniversary.
Heal: Pocket Edition is a heartfelt adventure game that delves into the realities of dementia
A short but worthwhile experience
Heal: Pocket Edition is a brand new point and click adventure game from the creator behind the successful Distraint puzzle-horror series, Jesse Makkonen. Unlike the Distraint series, where psychological horror takes a front seat, Heal: Pocket Edition delves into the realities of dementia. This means it will be your job to guide an old man through the game's gloomy puzzle-filled world as you piece together a tale that's primarily told through atmosphere instead of text. This means Heal is something of an experimental release that offers a heartwarming story that's primarily revealed through gameplay, and you can pick up the Android version today for $4.99.
Rusty Lake is a developer best known for its Cube Escape and Rusty Lake series of point-and-click adventure games, though often, these titles offer a dark theme, which may not appeal to everyone. This is precisely why The White Door has drawn my attention. Much like its predecessors, it too is a point-and-click adventure game, but this time around the story and graphics are the primary focus, which makes this a game that's a little easier to pick up and play thanks to its streamlined split-screen gameplay that revolves around the title's mysterious narrative.
Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Don't Dry is a point and click adventure game that's the newest title in the franchise. The game has been available on PC and consoles for some time now, but as of today, it has been officially released on Android. Much like the previous titles in the series, this is an adventure game for adults, and since I grew up playing these classics, I'm happy to report that you can still expect the same potty humor as the originals. This means Wet Dreams Don't Dry isn't a game for children, though if you have a penchant for sexually-themed puns, it would appear today's release is a return to form.

Android games for the Shield TV aren't released very often at this point, so when something that looks as impressive as AntVentor crosses my path, I just have to take a look. Now that I've spent some time with it, it's clear that this photorealistic point and click adventure game is worth the asking price, and this is only the first chapter out of three planned episodes. So there's plenty more to come.

Read update
Square Enix's Life is Strange started its existence as an episodic graphic adventure game for PC and consoles back in 2015. At the time many critics found that it offered one of the best interactive stories of its generation, which is probably why it was eventually released on iOS two years later. Of course, like many high-profile iOS games, Android was never considered for a port. Well, it would seem Android is no longer the forgotten stepchild as I am happy to report that we are getting our own version sometime in July, and you can pre-register for a release announcement on the Play Store right now.
It's been over a year since Cotton Game's gorgeous hand-drawn point and click adventure game Isoland was released on Android. In that time, the developers have been working on a sequel, and today that sequel is available on the Play Store. You can expect to find the same gorgeous hand-drawn graphics in Isoland 2: Ashes of Time, but this time around the gameplay breaks from the original's linearity in order to give players a chance to decide for themselves how and when they would like to tackle the many logical puzzles contained within.
