I like geometry, and probabilities. Geometry was always a favourite

Though ancient Greek mathematicians pretty much used algebra along with geometry, eg there is a very elegant work by Archimedes, where he uses his idea of the balance/scale in geometry, so as to come up with calculating the relation between the volumes or related (same diameter) spheres, cylinders and cones.

Also the pythagorean proof for the existence of irrational numbers is very beautiful - using just geometry (it was about the square root of 2).

As they say in Mortal Kombat X:

That cowboy henk... what a hack!

Why could no-one afford to live in Mordor?

You're done just walking to Mordor?

In soviet Russia, tube carries crow

It's so big, are you sure it's not a raven?
Anyway, I've read that Moscow's homeless dogs have learned to travel the subway on their own, so it wouldn't surprise me if crows and ravens eventually followed suit.

Apparently, yes, it seems to be a raven

We don't really have ravens here (afaik). Just a few types of crow, and mostly the ones with partly grey plumage (at least inside the city; in the countryside there likely are other types, including the rook).

It's almost August and we need a new pick. Has anyone played any recent game and can recommend it? Remember, the game should be free and preferably not a demo.

Maybe use the text for a possible demo of Kathy Rain?

Ok

Not sure if I can suggest this (given it is not free, and from 2016; and another poster already suggested a game, from 2004- not sure if it was accepted or not?), but since no one else is posting anything, and given I recently rewatched the playthrough, here goes:

Kathy Rain

My review:
"Kathy Rain can be regarded as a modern version of the first Gabriel Knight; in style the gfx and feel is similar, while the actual plot includes some more ambiguous elements. The protagonist, Kathy, is to a degree dependent on her friend, much like Gabriel was to his female employee and romantic interest, and both of those secondary characters find themselves in danger along with the leads.
The progression of the story comes at a natural pace, and there are a couple of intricate puzzles. There is both humour and some sense of dread; although probably the overall mood is less sinister than in GB or similar horror.
A very stylish and professional-looking game."

Looks utterly awesome...

When will it be complete?

I hope that you will release many more great games!

Thanks Babar!
@Danvzare Having played the game should be a prerequisite to suggesting it.
@KyriakosCH The continuing proposal of your own game (see rules in first post) now got you a permanent ban for it being chosen as PotM.

For now the download link works. When AGS Archive is turned off, a whole lot of games in the database need to be updated.

Well, this friendly attitude will help keep people using AGS for sure

So, you are suggesting a game you never completed without providing a blurb for pick of the month?

Yep pretty much.

I've never suggested a game for a pick of the month before, so I have no idea how the process goes. I just saw that no one was suggesting anything, and wanted to help.
Feel free to ignore it, but how's this for a blurb:
"Bog's Adventures in the Underworld can be summarised in three words, funny but difficult. A charming game that was made twelve years ago, and has managed to keep its charm despite its age."

Hey, why not a game you have played fully, eg (purely random proposal) The Chrysalis?
