3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

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.

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.
