pretty much the title. i have played most of sierra, lucasarts and telltale catalogues so if you are suggesting one of their games i've probably already played it. it doesn't have to be a copycat, homage or in the same style as these companies' games either, just that it must satisfy the vague definition of being an "adventure game" and have a good story. thanks in advance, can't wait to see your recommendations!

EDIT: thanks for your recommendations i couldn't reply to everyone. i can't to play (most of) them when i got time.

im ok with niche/janky as long as it doesn't fry my laptop it's fine, so hit me with your best.

heaven's vault was great. i really liked it especially the new game+ and the story. the translation mechanic didn't really impress me but it'll sometimes produce some head scratchers.

the case of golden idol was a brilliant detective game no notes. one mistake i made was disabling automatic highlight of keywords, it doesn't add anything to the puzzles you just spam click until you hit a keyword.

i didn't like chants of sennaar that much. its art is good but it was too easy and it just didn't click with me as much as it should have.

west of loathing is awesome, i've played the original kingdom of loathing and was glad to see it was as much silly and funny as its predecessor. i would also recommend shadows over loathing alongside west of loathing to anyone that hasn't played these games. kingdom of loathing is a really old browser game and is more of a daily type of game so i wouldn't exactly recommend it. all of them are set in the same universe but in different time periods so you don't need to play all of them or play them in order in order to just play one of them.

haven't played the rest so i'll definitely check them out. thanks for the list!
