I realized I like this game a lot . Didn't know I would enjoy this type of game. Anyone know what the exact genre I would look up? Also anyone know of any others like this?

It fits mostly into the point-n-click adventure genre, so you might want to start checking out games of that type. Forever Lost, The Lost City (Firemaple), and Botanicula are some good examples of the genre, and they're all quite different. If you like the whole trapped in a room/building concept, then I'd highly recommend Kotorinosu's games. Room Gamma in particular is outstanding, but all of his room escapes are brilliant. If you're into a more mysterious atmosphere but with a similar premise, try the Cube Escape series. I'd say the ones worth playing are Cube Escape: Seasons, Cube Escape: Case 23, and Cube Escape: The Mill, but the others are good too if not very memorable. If you're more into the fiddling with contraptions part of the game, you can of course try The Room series which is a staple of the genre. Puzzle House Mystery Rising is also a very good game that's often overlooked. A game with similar art direction and gameplay is the Dr. Stanley's House series. They're a bit less polished than Agent A but they have a ripper story (minus a bit of odd translation) and pretty good puzzles. The first game in the series is underwhelming but the second and third are great. Hope this helps! Links: Lost City $3 AUD Forever Lost $6 AUD per episode. Botanicula $8 AUD Room Gamma FREE!

It's also a nicely crafted one. TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #7 TheGreatEscaper, Nov 3, 2015 Played through the first chapter of Silent Age and it didn't quite grab me.

I came across Haiku games, which are very similar to Agent A in terms of puzzle mechanics and styles However, the graphics are a minus compared to Agent A but I find challenging puzzles the most interesting features so I skip that Hope this helps (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
