Arguably "Disco Elysium" is a modern text adventure.
A text adventure crossed with a point & click puzzle game in a 3D world admittedly but the vast majority of the actual game itself is contained within the text.
- duskwuff 1y agoIt's a text adventure by anything but the most hidebound traditionalist definition. The text is where all of the real action takes place; the graphics are more an illustration of that text than the reality of the game.

- jama211 1y agoI’d call it a point and click adventure as that’s a known genre but I see your point
- jama211 1y agoThat’s… kinda a good point I suppose, I see the comparison.
