Nancy Drew is back with yet another mystery and this time, she may be dealing with a larger threat than ever before. Traveling to England, Nancy is supposed to meet her neighbor’s daughter who seems to be going through an odd ordeal. Apparently her home of the Blackmoor Manor is afflicted with a strange curse that befalls those who enter its domain. Can Nancy solve this new mystery with her extraordinary detective skills, or is this curse something even the young and bright detective can’t handle? Find out in Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor.

Let’s start off our list with a series that has taken an epic book series and made it into a franchise of excellent games. If you’re new to this series though, Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor isn’t overly complicated to explain. Players take control of the young detective Nancy as they solve mysteries by clicking on environmental objects and backgrounds to piece together clues. Players will need to rely on paying close attention to small details if they want to solve the mystery successfully. Nancy Drew: Curse of Blackmoor Manor may not be the first game of the series to be released but we see it as being one of the best point and click adventures from the series as well as a great game to compare to Grim Fandango.

From the Fables series comes Telltale Games The Wolf Among Us. Acting as a prequel, players see the world from the eyes of Bigby Wolf, known by his infamous name, The Big Bad Wolf. Acting as the Sheriff of Fabletown, Bigby finds himself saving a young prostitute from being assaulted from a drunk woodman. However, the next day Bigby is horrified to see the woman’s head on the front of his door leading him to figure out who committed this crime. Bigby is about to show whoever did this why he was once labeled as The Big Bad Wolf in The Wolf Among Us.

Fables is one of the coolest graphic novels we’ve read here at Honey’s Anime and that’s what makes playing The Wolf Among Us such a treat. Fans or even newcomers will love the cast of fictional characters straight from past childhood stories but with obvious twists and altercations to make them unique for this mature story. Considering Grim Fandango’s exploration of its odd take on Hell, players will love to explore Fabletown and seek to learn what secrets it has. Players will also need to be careful who they interact with and what they say thanks to Telltale Games usual consequences in choices. Trust us folks you’re missing out if you don’t play The Wolf Among Us.

Tales from the Borderlands tells a story that occurs shortly after Borderlands 2’s conclusion. Our main characters, Rhys and Fiona, have just been captured by a mysterious stranger. The two souls are then forced to explain what led them to their current predicament. Rhys and Fiona are about to tell a tale of an unlikely meeting and a very large adventure that neither Rhys nor Fiona saw coming. Welcome to a new side of the Borderlands lore thanks to Tales from the Borderlands.

Telltale Games has crafted—as you can tell from this list—numerous titles like Grim Fandango but one of their best works is Tales from the Borderlands. The colorful world of Pandora and its odd residents were wonderfully captured thanks to Telltale’s strong understanding of both the lore from Borderlands as well as the theme it goes for. While you may not be running around killing millions of enemies and gathering billions of new guns, Tales from the Borderlands gives players the ability to create a truly unique story thanks to Telltale Games usual narrative choice system. Our only complaint about Tales from the Borderlands is we wish it would have went on longer as we loved this amazing story and truly loved seeing Borderlands in a new light. If you love Telltales Games and love Borderlands, you need to check out Tales from the Borderlands.

David Young has just dealt with a tragic event: his wife being murdered. Despite David once having been a Boston police narcotic officer, he finds that he doesn’t have many clues to go off of. All he knows is to look for D, his wife’s final words before her untimely death. Now, David—who stepped down from work and became a private eye—must use his powers of traveling to the past via mementos to solve who killed his wife by any means. David’s ordeal is about to enter a strange world filled with things he can’t fully explain but he’s willing to dive in if it means taking down the one who killed his young wife.

D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die is a weird game but that weirdness is what we love about this point and click adventure. In the same vein of games like Grim Fandango and Telltale Games, players take control of David as they explore rooms for clues and talk to witnesses to piece together what occurred in his wife’s murder. D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die really reminds us of the odd nature of Grim Fandango by having just as quirky characters to explore. A prime example of this would be David’s cat which is a catgirl...for some reason or another. If you love strange adventures and strange characters—basically everything strange—you’ll want to check out D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die.

Straight from the world of The Walking Dead graphic novels and the critically acclaimed show comes Telltale Games The Walking Dead. Poor Lee Everett has been charged with murder and is being sent off to prison. During Lee’s transportation, an odd event occurs where the police car goes off road as the officer tries to dodge a walking man on the road. However, when Lee wakes up after the crash, he learns that the walking man was actually a zombie and all around him an outbreak of the undead have begun to rise. Lee must escape to survive all while meeting others who he will come to rely on if he wishes to stay human and not join the ever growing number of so called Walkers.

With multiple endings, a huge cast of different characters and plenty of narrative choices, The Walking Dead stands as one of the best examples of what games like Grim Fandango have become today. Players take control of Lee and must survive against not only humans, who have become riled up, but the zombie-like beings known as Walkers. We love how Telltale Games—who has indeed been on this a lot—always makes gameplay even more deep by adding quick time events and consequences if you fail them. The Walking Dead is a lot of fun and we shed a few tears while playing thanks to some deep narrative that truly blew us away. If you only have ever played Grim Fandango then you need to try out The Walking Dead.
