GamingTrendRichard AllenOct 202290/100The point-and-click genre has seen a resurgence in recent years and Unusual Findings is certainly a worthwhile successor to the games it pays homage to.

Game Hype UKOct 202290/100Overall for someone who hasn't played a point-and-click adventure since Monkey island, this has made my eyes open more to the genre. This is a must-buy for anyone who loves the 1980s era. The nostalgia alone is worth the asking price to put that grin on your face. The controls on handheld and controllers may damper the experience, but that is not a reason to make you turn away as being a point-and-click game; it is forgiving.

CompletexboxJordan CampbellOct 202290/100Unusual Findings is truly a special indie game, especially if you’re an 80’s kid like me. Playing this genuinely made me feel like I was back in my childhood era all over again. It is a fantastic success story of a three-man team who have created a stunning package which has it all. The voice acting is absolutely superb across the board with interesting engagements with likeable characters.
