I know there is one in the downloads section, but I couldn't download it. I am looking for a cool point and click adventure engine, custom or not, it doesn't matter. Even an easily understandable tutorial would be nice, I am desperate I tell you! Thanks!

That's easy, for a point and click movement engine here's how one is done:
Create two objects, one (a player) with bouncy ball movement and the other a static circle or any shape.
player clicks with left mouse button - destroy circle, create a circle at 0,0, set circle.x,y to mouse.x,y, player.flag 0 = on.
If player.flag 0 = on - player start, player.dir (look in the direction of circle)
If player collides with circle - player.flag 0 = off, player stop, destroy circle.

I guess I need to elaborate on this one. Well, I have the movement part figured out, but I need the item picking up and placing in inventory. And the "Use" "Examine" "Talk" icons to work. An inventory section too...yeah, I am sorry, I need the whole thing.

Tig's has a good example on the inventory, and for talk and examine:
Player clicked with left mouse button on (group.collectables) - set string to getstring from ini (Group = Examine, Item = alterable value of group.collectables)
Then for every item, you change it's alt a, and in the ini you change the description. Here's how the ini would work:
[Examine]
0 = "A large pot"
1 = "Looks like someone has tampered with this"
2 = "A painting of a frog"
Then you label the pot's alterable value 0, and the paintings alt.a 2 etc.

Dang...that seems kinda difficult. Is there an easier way I wonder? I have never used group objects before. Really what I am looking for is just an engine for it. But I dunno...

It's not difficult at all, but if you're not confident with inis check my ini article.
