Do you have superpowers that are useless? Sure, you can spit coffee, talk backwards, turn into a snail and sweat excessively. But what good is that stuff?

Fortunately, there’s a remedy: be accepted into Sidekick High‘s Hero-Helper training program. There is only one problem: the entrance exam is a deathtrap.

You’ll be playing two characters: Darryl and his twin brother Darrell. Each is locked in a separate room. The rooms are connected. You’re given 60 minutes to escape.

Collect/combine items and interact with your brother and a handful of other applicants who are locked in with you. Discover ways to use everyone’s seemingly worthless abilities to solve puzzles.

Sidekick High is a throwback to the era of Sierra and LucasArts. The game features hand-drawn backgrounds and characters, an atmospheric musical score and professional voice acting.

The game, for Windows and Mac, is yours for the taking from Game Jolt, itch.io and Indie DB, and via Drop BoxDid I mention it’s free? 

So, why are you still here? Go get it!

I've been with JA in one capacity or other since 2003. I'm currently website administrator. I'm also a digital artist (my avatar is one of my creations). I write reviews and articles, create graphics and basically help tend the site. It's work I enjoy very much. I love playing games of all kinds, but adventure and RPGs are my favorites (particularly scary/dark/unsettling ones). At the top of my list are The Cat Lady, The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, Still Life (first one only), Scratches and Culpa Innata. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool recluse and prefer the company of animals, hardware and ghosts to human beings (no offense). And no bio would be complete without my saying that I do NOT care for phones of ANY sort. Further, I think Dell computers are garbage and that Microsoft has become megalomaniacal.
