Thanks to entries in the genre like Sam & Max, the debate over the life or death of the point-and-click adventure seems moot at this point. But we're still encouraged when we see them not just taking on life, but shining in a different venue. The latest example of that and one of our new favorites is The Several Journeys of Reemus by Zeebarf.
The game follows the story of Reemus, an exterminator hunting a giant ant with his purple bear by the name of Liam. By manipulating the environment and (occasionally) Reemus himself, you'll guide him through a series of puzzles that strike just the right balance of logical and abstract thinking. Oh, and there's fantastic music. We think you're really going to enjoy it.
But, as is always the way with the Joystiq Free Game Club, the verdict lies with you. Does it leave you wanting to go on more of Reemus' journeys? Or is one more than enough?

i wish you guys would start to do more of the "free indie games worth playing" type thing. i have a tough time finding good stuff that the computer at work will let me play without downloading anything or updating anything. i've been playing dolphin olympics 2 lately. when you guys linked to the flash portal game, i played it so much i got written up.

Quality. Pretty short, and somewhat easy, but all in all very well done with good puzzles. Definitely could use more of it.

I disliked the art, but I enjoyed the story/gameplay.

This has more then one ending, which I found cool. I like it when a game gives you more then one way to complete a puzzle.
