The Point & Click tag refers to a genre of video games that rely heavily on the use of a mouse or similar input device to control the game. In Point & Click games, players typically navigate the game world and interact with objects, characters, and environments by pointing and clicking on them.

This genre is often associated with adventure games, where players solve puzzles, unravel mysteries, and progress through a story-driven narrative. The gameplay mechanics of Point & Click games involve exploring detailed environments while collecting items, talking to characters, and using those items or dialogues to advance in the game.

Some key features of Point & Click games include:

• Mechanical Simplicity - These games are designed for ease of play by clicking on objects or selecting from predetermined options. The point-and-click interface eliminates the need for complex controls or precise movements.
• Puzzle Solving - Point & Click games often incorporate a variety of puzzles that require players to think critically, observe their surroundings carefully, and use logic to progress in the game. These puzzles can range from item-based challenges, dialogue choices affecting outcomes or even environmental riddles.
• Narrative Focus - Storytelling is typically an important aspect of Point & Click games. They often feature engaging narratives with well-developed characters and immersive worlds. Players are drawn into unfolding plots as they uncover secrets and progress through different stages.
• Aesthetic Appeal - Many Point &licks feature charming visual styles including hand-drawn artwork, colorful graphics reminiscent of comic books or beautiful pixel art. The art and animations are often carefully crafted to enhance the game's atmosphere and immerse players in their unique worlds.

Some well-known examples of Point & Click games include:

• The Monkey Island series by LucasArts, which follows the comedic adventures of the pirate Guybrush Threepwood as he navigates through imaginative environments and solves clever puzzles.
• Grim Fandango, another LucasArts classic, which combines a film noir-inspired narrative with an innovative blend of Point & Click gameplay elements.
• The atmospheric and puzzle-solving experience of 2019's Disco Elysium, where players guide a troubled detective through a complex narrative in an alternate reality setting.

Point & Click games offer players an immersive and often nostalgic gaming experience, with emphasis on story-driven narratives, problem-solving, and exploration within beautifully-crafted worlds.
