Explore places, combine items, and experience stories in Adventure Games, a series of co-operative games from German publisher KOSMOS. In each of these titles, players are presented with a mysterious story that they must unravel over the course of play. Working together, players explore common areas, talk to people, look for clues, and combine various items to reveal the secret of the story. Depending on what decisions the players make, the course of history changes and there is no going back!

Unlike the co-operative EXIT: The Game series, titles in this series focus on the telling and discovery of the story with no time pressure. That said, many different paths can be experienced during play, with more than one correct resolution to the story waiting to be discovered. Each title consists of three chapters, each taking about 75 minutes to play. Nothing is destroyed, so the games can be played multiple times.

In The Volcanic Island, you slip into the roles of four students on a volcanic island who face mysterious events. Like a thriller, you need to solve puzzles, make decisions, track traces, and analyze and use objects. You will experience a story together. Gameplay is variable and different in each group.

Admin note: The first edition of the German edition of The Volcanic Island contains an error for which KOSMOS has released a PDF correction that you'll find in the files.

The worst of the first three

This adventure game is the worst of the three that have been released at the time of this review. One big complaint I have with the series, is that when you choose a point of interest to investigate, there is no correlation between how important you think it will be to the story and how important it really is. If there's a bloody dagger or a vial of glowing liquid on a shelf, and you choose to look at it, there's an equal chance it will be something critically important or just something neat to look at. The problem with this is that you have nothing to base any choices on, so you spend a lot of time examining every single clue. Frustrating, but at least the story makes the game interesting. This entry into the series is the most guilty of doing this. Every action is a shot in the dark as to how useful or important it will be. Coupled with the massive amount of reading and long playtime, we really didn't enjoy this game at all.

Another fun entry in the Adventure Games series

While my least favorite of the three Adventure Games, I still really enjoy this system and would recommend to anyone who enjoys narrative/story/detective games! This one is considerably longer than the previous two games.
