Point-and-click adventure games are a genre of video games that primarily rely on the player’s use of a pointing device, such as a mouse, to interact with the game world. These games typically feature a protagonist who explores a series of environments, solves puzzles, and interacts with non-player characters.
Point-and-click adventure games have been around for decades, with some of the earliest examples dating back to the 1980s. The genre reached its peak of popularity in the 1990s, with the release of classic titles such as Myst, The Secret of Monkey Island, and Grim Fandango.
