I couldn't help but notice your extensive list of games - very impressive. I did notice that you hadn't played (or at least mentioned ) Syberia I & II. Our own Trep (Intrepid Homoludens aka Sector Blue) has done an excellent article on the symbolism in the game.

Trep also did a 4 part series of articles called
"The Cold Hot Spot" that you might find interesting.
