One of the many Humongous Entertainment classics. The PJ Sam games are all about a superhero-loving kid using his imagination to turn something as mundane as a bedroom closet or a food pantry into a wild & detailed landscape to explore & this game delivers well in that regard. Decent puzzles, fun characters, cool environments ---- it's well done.
I love Steam sometimes. Like it's so neat that so many of these old games are just up for sale and I get to experience some HE games that I somehow missed out on when I was a child.
This is a strangely cozy setting for something called The Land of Darkness. It has all the usuals with HE, a simple point and click adventure for children that has a lot of silly animations and is actually kinda funny a few times. Cute and wholesome!

OH BABY these adorable little games.
I grew up with the 3rd one for some reason and only played this one as an adult when they first got ported to ios.
These games are adorable. Tiny point-and-click adventures full of cutesy characters.
The story s straight forward, you'll beat it in one sitting. These were meant to teach insanely simple lessons to kids on the PC.
Should you play these as an adult? absolutely.
It's more than just nostalgia. these games have so much charm.
Everything you click comes to life in fun ways, it's such a treat to just boot these up and click around.
They randomize a bunch so it's worth replaying as well.

I miss the days where point and click games had this kind of energy. They were quirky, but rewarded people who explored, who clicked on everything just to see what happens. This was a staple game from when I was a kid and it has held up all these years later. Great game for anyone who loves a silly, good time.
Nice to finally finish all of the mainline Pajama Sam games on Steam. I'd probably rank this one third out of the series, but I still enjoy it. I do wish you could save though. The game may only be an hour long, but I'm a busy big toddler. I don't have time to play hour long games in one sitting. In all seriousness, though, there was a bit that annoyed me with having to find the library. The part of the room you have to click on to get to the hallway that gives access to the library just blends in and made me feel lost. Other than that, it's still all the fun you can expect from a Humongous Entertainment game.
It's a testament to Ron Gilbert's insurmountable ability to create compelling, entertaining content that he managed to make these sorts of edutainment games fun. Pajama Sam, and by extent Humongous games in general, are some of the few PC experiences that still hang with me from when I was extremely young.
