Last but not least, we are also seeing safe games. Tried and true characters, settings and stories that appeal to a wider audience, with relatively low risk. Characters such as Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Hercule Poirot, Da Vinci. Settings like Atlantis and Egypt. Stories based on the works of Robert Louis Stevenson, Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne, etc.
This is my biggest problem with current adventure games. For all the talk about adventure games having the best stories, none of these stories or settings interests me in the slightest. It's like they're all stuck in the 19'th century. I want to see some more Sci Fi stories, or a detective story that doesn't have to do with secret societies and ancient artifacts.
