Point and click games used to be all the craze until around the 2010s. Now, they're usually relegated to mid-size productions or simple indie titles. The genre also proved incredibly popular among flash game creators, due to the relatively simple planning and programming that goes into such a game. Japanese developers, in particular, took to it in droves. One of them is the developer Funkyland. Let's look at one of their games in a series, Alice House: No 4. Mushroom and Blue Caterpillar.

To play Alice House: No 4. Mushroom and Blue Caterpillar, unzip all the files in the same area and run the main SWF with whatever player you have.

There's practically no written story - this series is heavy on environmental storytelling and won't hold your hand in terms of actually giving you a narrative.

The gameplay is fantastic. You need to find five caterpillars that are hidden around the area so you can leave and they can be anything from pictures to structures. To do this, you need to click around, explore and interact. The only downside is your cursor doesn't change on interactable objects, which makes things tedious but forces you to pay attention to the environment as well.

The art is beautiful and there's very little to criticize about it. However, this entry is as constrained as the last entry, but at the same time, is as complex as the ones before it, meaning that this is a great entry.

All in all, if you're a fan of point-and-click games, then Alice House: No 4. Mushroom and Blue Caterpillar is very worthy of your time. You won't regret your choice if you give this game a shot.
