The first Point-and-Click Showcase has already aired, and the shopping window is still open. Rusty Lake and Amanita Design co-hosted their debut genre broadcast on November 4, 2026, then left the stream up for anyone who missed the live slot. On Steam, the matching sale runs through November 9, which is the practical deadline if you want discounted adventures while the event page is still warm.
According to the official Steam timing, the show went out at 9am PST, noon EST, and 6pm CET (5pm in the UK). It streamed on Steam and on YouTube, with the replay meant to stay available after the live window. Coverage framed the bill as more than 35 adventure games spanning ghost stories, murder mysteries, and quieter puzzle work, with world premieres, newly confirmed dates, and fresh demos in the mix.
Where to rewatch the show
If you skipped the premiere, start with the official showcase hub and the full stream recording. The organizers describe the event as a celebration of the teams and players who "keep the genre alive and beating, one click at a time," and the hub also points to demos, trailers, and the wider Steam event shelf.
Why this host pairing matters
Rusty Lake built its audience on free Cube Escape rooms before moving into premium, surreal puzzle adventures. Amanita Design has spent decades on wordless, hand-crafted worlds such as Machinarium and Samorost. Their tones sit far apart - uneasy lakeside mythology versus musical visual comedy - yet both studios have kept mouse-driven adventure visible while larger publishers chased other genres. A shared showcase gives smaller point-and-click teams a lane that is not drowned out by shooters and seasonal blockbusters.
Steam sale picks still discounted
The Point-and-Click Showcase Steam sale opened November 2 and closes November 9. The official event page leans on a large hand-picked shelf of classics, demos, and upcoming titles. Prices below are US-dollar figures reported in coverage and may differ by region; check the live Steam page before you buy.
- Primordia - about $3
- The Night of the Rabbit - about $2.49
- Servant of the Lake (Rusty Lake's latest) - about $5.35 at 33% off
- Also called out on sale: The Excavation of Hob's Barrow, Heaven's Vault, Dropsy, Stories Untold, and The Longing
- CHUCHEL is discounted; Amanita's newer Phonopolis is not part of the promotion
That last note is useful if you were hoping to catch Phonopolis in the same basket: coverage is clear that it sits outside the discount list, while CHUCHEL remains an easy Amanita entry point during the event window.
A short checklist before November 9
- Rewatch the November 4 stream for premieres, dates, and demos you care about
- Wishlist anything still unreleased that landed in the trailer block
- Grab sale titles you already meant to own before the November 9 cutoff
- Browse the official hub if you want the trailer wall and Steam event links in one place
For puzzle and adventure readers, this week is less about another generic indie Direct and more about a dedicated clicker stage with a sale attached. The broadcast is already in the archive; the discounts are the part that still has a hard stop.
