Closest to Broken Sword I can think of would be Runaway series by Pendulo Studios, All three episodes are awesome. Anything published by Wadjet Eye is amazing - Blackwell series, Gemini Rue, Shardlight, Primordia, Technobabylon, Strangeland. The Book of Unwritten Tales 1, 2 and prequel are my absolute favorites. Harvey and Edna 1 and 2 are close behind. Deponia is supposed to be good, but I couldnt stand the protagonist :(. The Whispered World and A New Beginning were ok, but very German. Captain Morgane and the Golden Turtle is great. Its a prequel to So Blonde, havent played, made by lead designer of Broken Sword. A Vampyre Story is hilarious. The Longest Journey 1 and 2. Secret Files series. Syberia, altho it was too French/weird for me. >Like Blake and Mortimer series, or The Adventures of Tintin. you can try Jack Orlando: A Cinematic Adventure, except its located in US, but similar art style?

  When listing Wadjet Eye I totally blanked on Unavowed, absolutely fantastic. Resonance is the only Wadjet Eye supposedly good game I couldnt get into. Stasis, a creepy sci-fi horror adventure game. Above list was mostly mainstream games, I missed a lot of indie/obscure/wacky titles: Tormentum – Dark Sorrow, a dark creepy visual horror point&click. https://frogdetective.net https://frogdetective.net 2 episodes so far. Hard to describe, but lot of laughs. The Darkside Detective is super funny. Hector: Badge of Carnage, another hilarious police detective game. murdercide 2017 https://powerhoof.itch.io/murdercide-2017 https://powerhoof.itch.io/murdercide-2017 same as above! powerhoof is a creator of mindblowingly good retry style adventure games, most are free too.

Published by Raw Fury who also does Clifftop Games. Clifftop made two solid games in Adventure Game Studio: Kathy Rain Whispers of a Machine Didnt play but are supposedly good: Darkestville Castle Dead Synchronicity The Dark Eye series Titles like Grim Fandango or Thimbleweed Park were too obvious to list. Adventure games seem to be doing better than ever despite everyone claiming early nineties as the golden age.
