One of the strangest point 'n' click adventures of the '90s is getting a modern 'restoration' for Steam, making it easily playable for the first time this century

The '90s were a great time to be a PC gamer, especially if you go in for weird shit. Some truly bizarre experiments emerged from the era, most of which I never got to play but faintly remember reading about in magazines. Whether it's the pomo ultraviolence of Harvester, the sickly roach simulator Bad Mojo, or Drowned God: Conspiracy of the Ages (which I'll let you Google yourself) the era's point 'n' click adventures have a lot of strange artefacts ripe for rediscovery.

If you're interested in oddities from the period you probably know Inscape as the publisher of the aforementioned Drowned God, but also Bad Day on the Midway, which was directed by members of surrealist rock troupe The Residents, and almost received a TV adaptation by—take a breath—David Lynch.
