Hmmmm. Well, for me it would have to be one of the Gabriel Knight games, no question. But which one? Well, I'd have to go with the first one, Sins of the Fathers.
It's an origin story, which I love. It was an incredible accomplishment in terms of really pushing the genre of interactive fiction forward. The graphic style, the voice acting, the music, the top-notch writing, the variety of well-integrated puzzles, the sophisticated approach to mature themes, the structure, the pace, all of these things and more are what put this game at the very top of my all-time favorites list.
