The World Is Strange

The World Is Strange is a free 2D click-and-point adventure game. It features no direct inventory (items are automatically used), but keeps a history of things found. The game can be controlled via mouse and keyboard. It was made for Yaz Jam IV, where the theme was to make a game with AI tools.

The game starts with the girl Maeve dreaming about an attack on her colony in the remote edge of another galaxy, by a space ship not belonging to the Coalition. After the dream, she wakes up in her house where she must tidy up things with her best friend Lily after her parents died.
