Shindig

While Shindig may appear to be aimed at children the game can be enjoyed by all, okay maybe not dark souls fans unless you fancy a change of pace. While the game’s puzzles are simplistic unlike other point-and-click games it does not take away from the overall experience Shindig will scratch that point-and-click adventure itch. The perfect experience for point-and-click adventure fans and people that want a relaxing, insightful game with its relatable characters, its running mental health themes and how it’s okay to be a square peg in a circle hole. I have been struggling to get into gaming lately, and Shindig was one I sailed through and found myself laughing out loud and also relating to some of the characters. While the game is short easily completed in 2/3 hours it’s the perfect game to fully immerse yourself in. I would also love to see more from the developers especially what’s behind the waterfall?

Gonna have ourselves a Shindig!!! Bought this charmingly illustrated and voiced old-school Point and Click adventure for my nine year old daughter, but found myself drawn in to the cartoon world of Shindig too, so spent the next few hours playing it with her and we both thoroughly enjoyed the game. I know she liked this game as she has been singing the catchy tunes ever since! A really nice concept (who doesn't love having a party?) with friendly and memorable characters. Would recommend for young and old gamers alike who are looking for a relaxing evenings gaming. Puzzles just tricky enough to keep us going, and once completed, some excellent additional epilogue/character based exposition - looking at you STEVE!!! Clever use of music and songs tie the whole story together. I've written far more than I intended to, but thought folks might like a bit more than the "So Cool, I LOVE STEVE!" that my nine year old wanted to post. Anyway we're off to play Shindig again, (we really liked it, and still have Steam achievements to get) so I guess that says it all. "Bakey, bakey, bakey, cakey..."

This is a lovely little game that I can easily recommend to anyone looking for a chilled out, conflict-free puzzle game. The game is built on a foundation of wholesome kindness and good vibes, with no edgy threats or crises to avert. It's just a really nice place to be. That said, there's still a good amount to do in the game, which even as a point-and-click veteran kept me engaged for several hours. It wasn't the hardest game I've ever played but that's not a criticism here. Shindig's main draw (IMO) are its characters, who are all likeable, well-written and well-performed, backed up by a lot of surreal humour that was right up my alley. Ultimately, this is a game with a huge amount of heart. If you like its look and style then it's almost certainly what you're hoping it is, and more. Plus the music is stupidly catchy, so there's that, too.

I love this game, particularly Baxter the Pig. So many cute animals who are remarkably relatable. Very much a feel good game for an adult, or a light puzzle game for a kid. Unashamedly wholesome. There's also a great interview with the creators on Robot Republic's YouTube channel. Very kind people. If you're ok with your games being too cute, give it a go.

A neat little adventure game. Good vibes, happy feelings.

Just the most positive and wonderful point and click I've ever played. Just delightful. Total recommend.

I'll start of by saying it's a fantastic game! It's on the easy side, but it's cute and it's silly - the best combination. Though if you go through all the sitdowns with people you'll realize that it still covers quite some grown up things as well. Also Steve is the best. Pretty sure Steve told me so Steveself.

steve thinks its horribly done. steve says it has slow story, slow movements, slow texts, slow videos. and when steve thinks its over... just no, says steve. aaaaaand steve certainly doesnt understand why mc gets irritation mark every time them are happy or alike? does they hate being with steve? fake laugh with steve?
