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. One creator that stood out for their high production quality is Esklavos. Let's look at an entry in one of their many series, Treasure of Big Totem: The Narrative.

To play Treasure of Big Totem: The Narrative, you have to unzip all the files into the folder you extracted the FPSoftware files to. Then, navigate to FPSoftware -> Basilisk-Portable -> Basilisk-Portable.exe. Afterward, drag the HTML onto the Basilisk browser.

This entry in the series summarizes the whole thing, featuring a very different sci-fi setting that explains exactly what happened in the original series. Gameplay-wise, its core is the same from a lot of other games from the studio, but a lot more focused on story and exposition than gameplay.

The production quality isn't quite as high as the other games by this developer, but they make up for it with a very striking graphical style that will stick with you for quite some time.

All in all, Treasure of Big Totem: The Narrative is a fantastic entry to the series and will introduce you to a ton of different concepts that the future chapters will build on.
