Fridays Classics: Samorost
Samorost is a Point-and-Click classic that must be revisited. Save Samorost's pale woody dot by diverting the woody asteroid that will collide with it. The game is very logic for all it's nonsense and alienness.

Friday Classics: MOTAS
If Crimson Room was the online game that has initiated the Escape the Room game fever, Mistery of Time and Space (MOTAS) revamped the Point and Click games and can be considered the spiritual ancestor of the Crimson Room. MOTAS is actually a series of Escape the Room games that will require a lot of logic for you to progress. In the beginning, no plot information is given but, bit by bit, the mystery of time and space is revealed.

Each object develops and interacts with the others in a unique way. The secret is to put the objects in the right order: if your mountain hasn't developed enough, your clouds won't form, etc.
Grow also had many sequels, such as Grow RPG.
