Good point, but I'm open to suggestions of games that don't necessarily incorporate all of those aspects. I'm not exactly looking for a new Grim Fandango but I've probably expressed myself wrong in the original post. Either way, I appreciate your input and your game suggestions, which I'll surely look into. If any other games come to mind (no need for them to have all of these "qualities" that Grim Fandango has, just one or two) then feel free to let me know.

A few more games that fit the category of what I'm looking for would be Jack Orlando, Leisure Suit Larry and Dirty Split.

Thank you both for your replies.
