Freeware Game Pick: Heed (Ben Chandler)
Heed is a short adventure game created by Ben Chandler (Annie Android, Shifter's Box) using the reliable AGS engine, where you assume control over an unnamed protagonist who is searching for the purpose of his existence. There's not a lot of puzzles in this release, and none of them are particularly difficult, although the game has been structured in such a way that you would only find the interesting ones in the second half of your adventure.

Very nice!, just ignore the boring first 10 minutes, after that the game becomes very interesting.

The second half of the game was kinda neat. I loved the music to the game. It's too bad it was so straightforward.

I haven't had a chance to try this yet but I absolutely love the mood evoked by the background art I've seen. Really fantastic use of colour.
