Why does this exist, you may ask? Well, because I was looking around for communities to join, and all of the gaming communities were about games I don't play. ๐Ÿ˜…

So come in, young and old alike, and talk about your favorite adventure games โ€” past, present, or future. Make yourselves at home.

Great job, beat me to it by a week. If I may make a humble request, it is that you institute a rule to prevent or limit (preferably disallow) self-promotion posts unless there is specifically good reason or prior approval for them. The /r/adventuregames sub became a pointless cascade of PR spam with Steam links, not just solo developers sharing a labor of love. To the point that actual discussion of adventure games was outnumbered maybe 8:2 in favor of walls of marketing text. I feel like adventure game players' starvation for new content essentially allowed this situation to happen, but point and click games are by no means in the drought they once were, so now that sub has just devolved into wishlist farming.
