If you can stand to play older games, absolutely Gabriel Knight

Otherwise, I'll suggest Syberia or Dracula: The Path of the Dragon

Actually forgot to put Gabriel Knight on the list. Didn't like Syberia much. Looks great but a bit ridiculous. Might check out Dracula, thanks.

Well they aren't that scary to be honest.

I can also recommend the "Broken sword" series of games. They are well worth playing !

Humbly suggest you try 'Rhiannon' - we deliberately designed it to be 'good' - large but cohesive game area, strong plot, story arc, big interactive inventory, ghosts, magick, present day and Wales. That's the country, not the water borne mammal of course.
'Rhiannon' seems to have gone virtually unnoticed here at AG, but lots of players at Gameboomers and elsewhere are saying nice things about its gameplay, animations, puzzles, story etc.

And there's a review at AdventureClassicGaming.

Cheers

Well, I think that a review is under its way and it's only a matter of time. Better to take time with game to play it thorough, thus giving an accurate report of it, than rush it just for the sake of, no?

Dear AndreaDraco83

Oh dear I've not made myself clear. Big apologies. The AG site has mentioned the game big time, including news coverage and an interview with yours truly - I should have emphasised that I mean the AG forum doesn't seem to have noticed it. I'm an idiot. I hope I haven't caused offence.

Sorry.

I wasn't clear myself. I understood that you referred to the forum, I was only pointing out that, as reviews are concerned, it's better take time to be sure to properly review the game - after a review, maybe, the opinions on the game will start to pop out!

Sorry on my part for the misunderstanding, Noel...

Define production quality. At least based on the sceenshots it looks just as good as any firstperson-adventure.
