Kathy Rain
Defo my pick of the bunch.  Interesting storyline, and quality production as long as you’re into the AGS look.  I guess puzzles are a little easy and it’s quite short.  No more to say except play this one for sure.

Yesterday Origins
You need to play the first one if you haven’t yet.  I think they’re both worth playing and fit your criteria, but it’s not without its faults.

My recent review on completing it:

Just finished this game.  Mixed feelings.
 
A weird mix of dark and comedic, considering the cartoon graphics, but it worked for me.
A decent story which answered a lot of questions from the previous game, and I would eagerly play a further sequel.
 
The story is the strongest part of the game, with the puzzles being pretty mundane/easy but not awful.
 
The bug testing obviously went to shite for the last hour or so of the game.  I had to restart the program a couple of times.
 
Oh, and the Scottish (Irish?/Jamaican?) accents were horrific.

The Last Door: Season Two and Shardlight
I got stuck on puzzles in both of these and forgot to go back, but both very solid while I was playing them.

Obviously, you need to play TLD1 before TLD2. TLD1 was an absolute pleasure to play, and I thought I’d never get into it without voice acting.  Music and atmosphere for that one are impeccable; one my favourite games in recent memory.  TLD2 was almost as good ~1/2 way through.

Shardlight, the usual quality from WadgetEye, though not their best.

Goetia is easily the best game on the list, it would be disappointing if you missed it because it has only a few dialogues. (There are plenty of monologues if you enjoy those)

Hey everyone, thanks for the responses. I’ve been playing Thimbleweed Park and Kathy Rain. Been having a good time. It’s been nic play some quite good recent games.
