Sumatra: Fate of Yandi

I played this after their now newest game (and one of my all time favs) The excavation of hobbs barrow. I was not disappointed, even though the graphics/writing/longevity is obviously not on the same level. CAD Games improved a lot and i am happy to support every game that comes out of the studio.

I really like this game. I have played it more than once and enjoy each time. I recommend playing this if you like puzzle point and click games.

Pleasantly simple as an adventure game, it was surprisingly heartfelt in a way that built slowly and authentically. Somewhat more optimistic than Hobb's Barrow, but not much. Definitely recommend for fans of the format.

Nice story except [spoiler]monetisation of you bruh death[/spoiler]

Developed and published by Cloak and Dagger Games, Sumatra: Fate of Yandi is a point-and-click adventure that captures the charm of classic adventure titles while standing apart through its uncommon setting and heartfelt storytelling. Instead of transporting players to a fantasy kingdom or futuristic world, the game takes place in the lush yet unforgiving jungles of Sumatra. The story follows Yandi, a humble logging worker whose routine life is shattered after a catastrophic landslide leaves him stranded deep within the wilderness. His desperate search for survival soon becomes intertwined with a mission to find his missing friend Ramdan and return home to mend his strained relationship with Adiratna. This grounded narrative gives the adventure emotional weight, making every step forward feel meaningful rather than simply serving as another gameplay objective. The game's greatest strength lies in how it tells its story through exploration and character interactions. As Yandi travels across forests, rivers, abandoned structures, and isolated villages, players gradually uncover mysteries hidden within the environment while meeting individuals who either assist or complicate his jour…

This is a very classic point-and-click puzzle adventure game with simple mechanics and puzzles that aren't too challenging while still being a decent puzzle experience. I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed the actual story of this game. Would definitely recommend for a quick-but-not-too-quick game experience to scratch that point-and-click itch. The only thing that can get a bit tedious is the navigation since there is no map or fast travel mechanic, but the areas in each section of the game are only just big enough that it isn't that much of a bother to click through them. Overall happy I played it!
