Seiklusmängud

Seiklusmängud, also known as adventure games, are a genre of video games that emphasize exploration, puzzle-solving, and narrative. Unlike action games that focus on combat and reflexes, seiklusmängud prioritize story progression and intellectual challenges. Players typically control a protagonist navigating a detailed environment, interacting with objects and characters to uncover clues and advance the plot.

The gameplay often involves examining environments, collecting items, and combining them to solve puzzles or overcome obstacles. Dialogue with non-player characters is crucial for gaining information and understanding the game's world. The pacing is generally slower, allowing players to immerse themselves in the story and atmosphere. Many seiklusmängud feature rich storytelling, complex characters, and intricate plots, often drawing inspiration from literature, film, or mythology.

Early examples of seiklusmängud date back to the 1970s and 1980s with titles like Colossal Cave Adventure and the early Sierra On-Line and LucasArts games. These games often used text-based interfaces or early graphical interfaces. Over time, the genre evolved with improved graphics, voice acting, and more sophisticated gameplay mechanics. While the genre's popularity has fluctuated, it continues to attract a dedicated audience who appreciate its focus on story and thoughtful gameplay. Modern seiklusmängud can range from point-and-click adventures to more interactive narrative experiences and 3D exploration games.
