Today I have a stellar point and click adventure game titled What Makes You Tick? What Makes You Tick? has won numerous prizes in the indie games world. The following is a short review from http://www.indiegames.com :
What Makes You Tick is a freeware adventure game by Matt Kempke, created using the LASSIE engine. The story tells of a young man named Nathan, sent by his University to find the mysterious Dr. Coppelius who disappeared about one year earlier.
There are only about ten rooms to explore but quite a bit of adventure to be had. The interface for object interaction resembles one used by later LucasArts releases, in which the player has to hold the left mouse button to bring up a menu. Release the left mouse button while hovering over an action to execute it. Press the F1 function key to access the save and load feature. View your inventory by moving the cursor toward the brown bar at the bottom of the screen.
And here's an even shorter one from the developer:
What Makes You Tick? tells the story of a young man named Nathan who has been sent by his university to deliver an important message to a retired professor... but while searching around the professor's last known residence, Nathan discovers that he's not the only person seeking the old man and his brilliance.
