A nameless hero finds himself in a place between fantasy and nightmare. He doesn't remember his name nor where he comes from. Wandering through strange lands, he struggles to discover the truth about the world around him, as well as about himself.

The story begins as the protagonist wakes up locked in a metal cage hanging below a large flying machine. It becomes clear he is its passenger against his will and the machine's destination is unknown. The only vague memory he can summon in his mind is that of a sculpture atop a hill, depicting human hands reaching towards the sky.

Those are, however, the least of his problems as the airship descends its flight towards a huge, gloomy castle which soon becomes his prison. Thus begins the surreal story bordering somewhere between dream and reality…

Interesting list. :)

You can find many more, I think, if you go to the German site AdventureTreff and just quickly look over the names printed in bold in the newsbits. AT is one of the world's 3 biggest adventure sites.

The new game by Pendulo Studios is missing for example, and the Oak Island Kickstarter - already funded - by the guy who made that very good Zak MacKraken fan adventure.
