Need Help Finding Traditional Adventure Games

[DoctorQ9]

I have searched the Forums and I still need some ideas from my gaming colleagues. I enjoy the Adventure games of the late 1990s and 2000s - games like Riven, Uru, even Nancy Drew (don't judge me!). More recent games that I enjoy are Truberbrook and Chicken Police.

Along those lines, what can you recommend for me?

Have you tried Thimbleweed Park or Twelve Minutes?

Subnautica an adventure game!? Stanley Parable??

The problem is that "traditional" bit. Traditional adventure games are way more about puzzles than adventures. "Point & Click Adventure" might get better results.

I'm afraid I can't help much, @DoctorQ9, as I'm not into the genre much anymore. Have you tried Obduction, though?

Obduction on Steam

A new sci-fi adventure from Cyan, the creators of Myst. Abducted far across the universe, you find yourself on a broken alien landscape with odd pieces of Earth. Explore, uncover, solve, and find a way to make it home.

I tried playing it and it seemed pretty Riven'ish.
