Sorry if either of these already got mentioned:

  • Call of the Sea
  • Quern (this one is light on story, but it’s a solid Myst-like game)
Alimentar,

Ohh Querns a fantastic game! And was developed by university students. They really captured the myst vibe for sure.

It’s really stretching the adventure game definition but if you are open to first person games without combat with great stories I would recommend :

  • “the outer wilds” : really nice puzzles, good story, wonderful setting, definitely not linear.
  • “SOMA” : a little dark, engaging story, this was an amazing experience.
Crystal_Shards64,

Did you mean The Outer Worlds or Outer Wilds?

Cairden,

He surely meant “Outer Wilds” based on his description. Fantastic and memorable game that will make you sad reminiscing your playthrough. Go in completely blind

Outer Wilds felt like an adventure game to me.

Have you tried the titles from Amanita Design? They’ve made quite a few old-school point-and-click games, with hand-drawn graphics and cute stories despite the characters never talking.

My favourite is Machinarium.

daniyeg,

absolutely i’ve played a shit ton of their games when i was a kid. i was surprised to see their games are not that famous since where i live most young people have played at least Machinarium.

Have you tried Resonance? It's a mystery adventure game set in modern times where you play as four different characters whose stories interconnect. It's been a while since I played it (a decade or so?) but I remember that it had an interesting game mechanic that let you use memories like items in various interactions, as well as a number of puzzles that I rather liked the design of.

Oh! Can’t believe I forgot, but you should also play Under a Killing Moon, and then when you’re done and completely in love with it, move on to The Pandora Directive, Tex Murphy: Overseer, and Tesla Effect. They’re a series of hilarious retro-sci-fi gumshoe detective comedy puzzle adventures. It’s like Maltese Falcon, Blade Runner, the X-Files, and Young Frankenstein got put in a blender. They’re amazing.

NORCO is the best old-school point and click adventure I played recently. Great pixel art. Great writing.

Deponia series from Daedalic Entertainment. The first two games are really great. The other two not so much, though.

Comedy is an important part of Point & Click games for me. If anyone has other suggestions, I’d love to hear them.

This list is in order of my favorites:

  • Paradigm
  • Darkside Detective
  • Everything by Amanita Design
  • Cleo: A Pirate’s Tale
  • Feria d’Arles
  • There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension
  • Lost In Play
  • Thimbleweed Park
  • Bertram Fiddle
  • Will of Arthur Flabbington
Rai,

Paradigm is SO GOOD

also throwing in Quest for Glory, on a writing standpoint

ProdigalFrog,

Quest for Infamy (spiritual successor to Quest for Glory) has some really witty, funny writing. It was a blast to play!

Could it have been Zector?

A similar game by the same designers as Space Fury.

Legend Entertainment produced some great adventure games throughout the '90s. The wiki article has a list of them, and several are available from GOG.

had a good couple short playthroughs of Firewatch

daniyeg,

played firewatch before, it seems like a linear game with maybe some different dialogue. is a second playthrough worth it?

toxicbubble,

there are some secrets and collectables that i got on my 2nd playthrough but used a guide

I really recommend Stray, it was a a classic feeling adventure game to me when I played and I quite enjoyed it.

daniyeg,

i’ve played stray and i quite enjoyed it as well although i really wouldn’t call it an adventure game. it has some of the elements of an adventure game but it just doesn’t feel like one to me. thanks for your recommendation anyway.

So, I’m playing adventure games (and similar games that work in the setting) with friends most Fridays. We’ve been doing this for years and have quite the list by now.

I’ll list some favorites of mine from that list. But let me know if you’re also interested in some more niche/janky games (not everything we played was good, some of it was so bad it was already entertaining again, especially when enjoyed in a group).

  • Heaven’s Vault
  • The Case of the Golden Idol
  • The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante
  • Chants of Sennaar
  • Pentiment
  • Edna & Harvey: The Breakout
  • West of Loathing
daniyeg,

im ok with niche/janky as long as it doesn’t fry my laptop it’s fine, so hit me with your best.

heaven’s vault was great. i really liked it especially the new game+ and the story. the translation mechanic didn’t really impress me but it’ll sometimes produce some head scratchers.

the case of golden idol was a brilliant detective game no notes. one mistake i made was disabling automatic highlight of keywords, it doesn’t add anything to the puzzles you just spam click until you hit a keyword.

i didn’t like chants of sennaar that much. its art is good but it was too easy and it just didn’t click with me as much as it should have.

west of loathing is awesome, i’ve played the original kingdom of loathing and was glad to see it was as much silly and funny as its predecessor. i would also recommend shadows over loathing alongside west of loathing to anyone that hasn’t played these games. kingdom of loathing is a really old browser game and is more of a daily type of game so i wouldn’t exactly recommend it. all of them are set in the same universe but in different time periods so you don’t need to play all of them or play them in order in order to just play one of them.

haven’t played the rest so i’ll definitely check them out. thanks for the list!

All I can think of is Strong Bad’s vector graphic head appearing and saying stuff like ‘your head a-splode’ in that voice you describe. :-)

Rhynoplaz,

That’s crazy go nuts!
