Unforeseen Incidents review — a mystery with a few too many punchlines

Unforeseen Incidents is a classic point-and-click adventure that dives into government conspiracies and some terrible puns. It’s German indie studio Backwoods Entertainments’ first big game, and it’s available now on PC.

It feels like the point-and-click genre is undergoing something of a revival, between excellent games like A Jolly Corpse’s psychedelic Dropsy and Terrible Toybox’s LucasArts throwback Thimbleweed Park. And Unforeseen Incidents is a solid entry into the new roster of item-hunting titles that seem to adhere to a whole different world of logic that only exists in adventure games.
