Today, I have an adventure game called The Uncertainty Machine. The game takes place in the near future where society has been divided into 'Citizens' who live in luxury and 'Off Limits' people who are cast out of society. The story starts you off as a newspaper reporter investigating a simple burglary. But soon the simple burglary evolves into a much larger and darker conspiracy. The story is a bit slow at the start when you're just investigating the burglary but picks up later. This game takes place over 2 days and should only take a few hours to complete depending on if you get stuck.
The game is easy to control with a simple point and click interface using the mouse. Left clicks acts as a all-purpose 'action' button and right clicks lets you look at objects and inventory items. Your inventory is shown at the top of the screen. Travelling around to different locations is easy because you have a map that you can look at (right-click) to instantly travel to all the locations that you have found.
Controls:
Left click - Action button (move, talk, pick up/use items, etc.)
Right click - Look at objects/examine inventory items
F1 - help menu
F9 - save/load/quit menu
