For those about to rock... I mean, to vote for games:
Rock 'n' Roll Will Never Die!


AGS database link
Steam link (-70% until Feb 15th!)
Itch.io link





Rock 'n' Roll Will Never Die! is a parodic adventure inspired by classic point-and-click games, heavy metal, and underground comics. You'll jump into the beer-soaked denim vest of a middle-aged teddy bear to orchestrate the comeback of your old glam metal band, not caring that glam metal has been the laughing stock of everyone in the music industry since the 1980s. A true heavy metal heart never stops beating!

The game hasn't found a huge audience yet, but those who have played it seem to have enjoyed it a lot. The Steam user reviews are really positive, and to quote some of the game reviews out there:

"Possibly one of the best scripts in a point and click."
Vulgar Knight

"It is a modern classic and a game that must be played!"
8/10 – Movies Games and Tech

"Almost flawless."
4.5/5 – Game Reality

You probably should play the game first, if you haven't yet, to know what you're nominating. It is a full-length commercial game, however, so it costs money and requires probably 10+ hours to play through (you might still be able to get it on sale before the nominations close, just saying...). You can consider the game for whatever categories you see fit, but here are some that are nice and groovy. Make it so!

For your consideration I present:

Menial: a Utopian Bagel Simulator (demo)

DATABASE LINK

This game is a genre mashup between a Visual Novel, a Restaurant Simulator and a Point and Click -game. You play as Maria who's trying to figure out life in a fully automatized utopian society working as a bagelist; yes, that's someone who makes and sells bagels. You may expect lots of dialogue to read with interesting characters and world building, some light puzzling and a bagel making simulator to mess around with. I'd love for you to try it out!




As the game is a demo, please consider Menial for the category:

-Best Demo

Exciting! :-D
What is Palace Cheese?
A dodge move in Romanian swordplay.
