In the recent years we have gotten games like
FBI: Art of Murder
Heard about, didn't play.
Quote:
Scorpio Ritual,
Didn't hear about.
Quote:
The Agatha Christie Games.
Heard about, as far as I know they're known for being rather rubbish.
Quote:
Nostradamus,
Heard about, but criticism was muted.
Quote:
Da Vinci,
Never heard about this game. Are you referring to the Da Vinci Code?
Quote:
the Sherlock Holmes games.
Heard about and tried out, the ones I tried were utterly mediocre.

If these are your arguments, the genre is indeed dead unless you back up the names with some decent arguments as to why those are better than Broken Sword 3+4, Myst 4-5, Uru, Syberia 1+2, Dreamfall, Fahrenheit, Hotel Dusk, Another Code, and Phoenix Wright, which all came out some years ago.
