Earlier this month a new, free adventure game was released. Hewitt is the work of Casper Smith and Chris Gianelloni of B-group Productions.

In Hewitt, you take control of the eponymous hero, a geeky high school student, as he attempts to find a date for the homecoming dance. As so often happens, this task turns out to involve a complex series of intermediate challenges, and Hewitt will need to take full advantage of his ingenuity, ruthlessness and unusually spacious pockets to succeed. This is a large game (one year in the making), with many locations and plenty of things to do.

Hewitt is made with Flash, and is played through your web browser. You can find it on B-group Productions and on several casual gaming sites. If you like Hewitt, the duo's previous adventure game, Griswold the Goblin, may also be worth a look.
