About Carnival

After agreeing to take on what seems like a mundane story about the unique city and its planned road bridge, journalist James Maynard finds himself uncovering a disturbing underbelly to the local customs, and a hideous core to the notion of Venetian pride.
Not even the might of Mussolini can truly kill the Carnival. Winner of Best Lines of Dialogue - Adventure Games Of The Year 2025.

Carnival is an atmospheric folk horror point-&-click set in a time of European upheaval, where the past and the future collide. The protagonist must struggle with narcolepsy and its effect on both his memory and perception of the increasingly twisted reality around him. The game features atmospheric low-resolution pixel art graphics, multiple locations drawn from Venice itself, and developing relationships with NPCs, allowing the player to influence events in the game and achieve multiple different endings.
Carnival now also features the full soundtrack (over three hours of atmospheric soundscapes), playable through Steam, for free!
Developed by Beyond Booleans, creator of Abscission, winner of three AGS awards.

Venetian here (well actually from a city nearby: Treviso). Kudos to the dev for creating such an accurate picture of Venice, its iconic places, its history and traditions. I was struck by the many references to my own culture, such as the babau (my parents used to use it to scare me!) and scopa (a popular card game I still play often with friends). There must have been truly meticulous research into the history and customs of the city and my region. The game also reminded me how sad it is that, today, there's a political party (well more than one actually!) nostalgic for those tragic times of fascism... seems like it's a common pattern outside of Italy too... Excellent music. Looking forward to the sequel!

Carnival is a great point & click horror game graphically reminiscent of The Last Door. At first it's eerie, then spooky, and ends up quite horrifying. It goes crescendo in a very good way. It's also very well written. The dev is a writer so there's no surprise here. Highly recommended! And don't forget to check out his other games, including some free ones on itch.

A fantastic point-and-click game! While this one is more dialogue heavy than most games of the genre I still enjoyed getting to know the characters and the lore of this place!

I really enjoyed this game it took me less time to complete than Abscission but the story more than made up for it. It was a super enjoyable experience and I love the closeup character art! I loved this game and am excited for the next game release by this developer! :3

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
