Looking for retro adventure games (sh.itjust.works)

i recently played Syberia, Resonance, The Samaritan Paradox and Lamplight City. I'm looking for games along the same direction: 90s/2000s style adventure games. It could be really old games or also retro ones that have been released recently.

Do you have any recommendations on games you particularly enjoyed?

Any information on Linux compatibility would be a plus. But these days almost everything works anyway, so it's not a big deal.

Indigo Prophecy

Indigo Prophecy was definitely a fun experience, but it has more quick time events than actual puzzles. Still worth a look if you are looking for a good story (although it got rushed in the end so the finale isn't great)

Yeah, I was in love with it for the first half, then it really dropped the ball story-wise. But it was still a positive and memorable experience for me. Very immersive, at least at the time.

If I remember correctly, it was originally intended to be an episodic game, but plans changed late in development. As a result, the first half of the game is a really good bit of moody character-driven slow burn storytelling, and then suddenly it's like the entire corkboard full of plot ideas gets vomited out at once.

(SPOILER?) All I remember is some shiny man appearing and then it all stopped making any sense.
