Claudia Overview
Claudia was one of those small, quiet games you'd find in the Flash era. It came out in 2007, a simple point-and-click experience from a developer known as Pastel Games. It never tried to be a big event. Instead, it offered a short, personal story you could finish in a single sitting, the kind of thing that felt common and unassuming on those old web portals.
You control Claudia, a young woman in her apartment. The game is played entirely with the mouse. You click on objects to examine them, pick them up, or use them with other items in the room. Your main goal is straightforward: help Claudia get dressed appropriately for the changing weather outside by finding the right clothes. This involves basic inventory puzzles, like locating a jacket in a closet or combining items you find. The pace is slow and deliberate, with no timer or pressure. It's a gentle puzzle, more about observation than challenge. The experience feels calm and slightly melancholic, like tidying a room on a quiet afternoon.
