i would be an (albeit) slow example of this exception to your rule there. i played and completed drawn, moved onto machinarium, and now am totally enjoying other games like full throttle, beneath a steel sky etc.
it may not be the hardest but this "casual" game helped me get the gist of the mechanics of the genre so i would have more patience and not get frustrated,
since i started with adventures again last month i haven;t gone near a walkthrough, (or even used any of those hints in machinarium (and believe me when i say i forgot most of what i did the first time i played it))
so it definitelly helped my barrier to entry, which i found much too tought last year when i made the mistake of trying the harder games first off.
