Thanks for the tips. I'll see if I can borrow these games from someone.

This is something you can't get in a movie or a book, and is for much of the appeal of adventure games. It's the reason why so see so many people complaining that Syberia felt so empty: because it didn't let you explore the screens, look at useless items and people. If that's not something you enjoyed in GK, but actually strongly disliked, then I can't do anything for you.

You know, I actually like that kind of "story uncovering". What I dislike is
mandatory story uncovering. Why should the game prevent you from continuing just because you missed some insignificant detail you weren't interested in?! This extra depth should always be optional.
Oh, and by the way, thanks for that "death of adventure games" article.
