The Visitor Returns

“The Visitor Returns” is a point-and-click puzzle game where players control an alien parasite that consumes anything in its path. The game revolves around solving puzzles to progress and evolve the alien. The puzzles are challenging but rewarding, requiring careful observation and creative thinking.

In this installment, you, in the form of a disturbing pink grub, visit bloody mayhem upon the hapless residents of a secluded trailer home. You start out pretty weak, but as you absorb various creatures, you’ll gain new abilities, and by the end of the game, you’ll have six possible deaths to mete out to the final victim.

The game is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach, but if you like your horror deaths chunkier than a can of diced tomatoes, you’ll eat this up. If you gave “The Visitor: Massacre at Camp Happy” a miss because you’re a pure point-and-clicker fan, this installment will be more up your alley, more akin to the Reemus series in terms of gameplay experience.

Just as in previous installments, the game has you brutally killing animals and people in a cartoonishly over-the-top manner. If that doesn’t sound like your thing, you’d be wise to skip this one. If your tastes are decidedly ghoulish, however, then this game is for you.
