As the author points out, there is some serious talent on display here—doing so much with two colors (literally black and white, not greyscale).

To anyone who enjoys this black and white dithered art, I recommend checking out the old MacVenture games:
Déjà Vu, Uninvited, Shadowgate, and Déjà Vu II. [1]
They are all classic point-click adventure games played in first person perspective. Lots of intrigue, some horror (Uninvited and Shadowgate), weird music, good writing. Very fun games!
I believe they can all be played in the browser though a classic Mac emulator on archive.org [2].

Scummvm too, you need to compile it with --enable-all-engines on the configure command.

The minimalist line-art style was fairly fashionable in the '80s and early '90s, with people like Keith Haring making a big splash. His work was visually distinct from what's on display here, but I think the two are not entirely unrelated.
