Overview
Description

Set during a typical Halloween eve, Alien Incident follows a young boy named Benjamin as he witnesses his uncle activate a mysterious Worm Hole Spawner. When an alien spaceship accidentally enters the rift and its crew abducts Benjamin's uncle, it is up to the hidden boy to solve the mystery, rescue his relative, and save the galaxy. Developed by Housemarque and originally released in 1996, this comical point-and-click adventure combines classic puzzle-solving gameplay with a humorous science fiction storyline. Players must explore the spooky mansion and beyond, interacting with strange environments and uncovering bizarre secrets to succeed in their mission.

Portal is a first-person puzzle game developed by Valve. Players take on the role of Chell, a test subject who awakens in the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center. Guided by the sadistic artificial intelligence system GLaDOS, Chell must navigate through increasingly challenging test chambers using the 'portal gun,' a device that can create two portals that allow for instant transportation between them. As Chell progresses through the game, she uncovers the dark secrets behind Aperture Science and must use her wits to escape the crumbling facility.
