Default Is there a PC adventure game based on a story from Neil Gaiman?
Neil Gaiman is one of my most favourite writers of sci-fi and fantasy genre (Tolkien, Holdstock, Asimov, Herbert are the other few... ). And I love adventure games, apparently...

So, I was wondering - is there a PC adventure game, preferably point-n-click one, based on any (mature ) story from Neil Gaiman? Anybody knows/heard of/played one?

I don't think so... have you tried entering his name in www.mobygames.com?

If you like Asimov, you might enjoy Robot City, which definitely pays homage to him. Nice story. It's ancient, though.

I'm pretty sure there isn't, but it really does sound like a brilliant idea. Surely, the good Mr. Gaiman would enjoy such a project...

I think our friends at TellTale know what they need to do now.

I don't know if he's made a game yet, but I think he should. I thought 'Neverwhere' and some of his other books were really good.

Already tried it, found nothing, though (but somehow expected it)...

an adventure game based on the sandman would be aaamazing. I'd be really picky about how the art style was handled though

There is a movie tie-in to Coraline that supposedly is a fairly traditional adventure game, but I don't think the game ever made it to the PC.
