I agree, even if - I may add - from time to time I found this kind of adventures relaxing, undemanding and breezing like a good pulp book in between from more serious reading, or a cheap C-movie between a Lynch and a Bergman. Just as well, sometimes is relaxing to have an easy, brief and even fairly superficial adventure game to fill in. That's what I expect, for example, from Chronicles of Mystery - Scorpio Ritual.
