I recently played "Thimbleweed Park"
Beautiful story, crazy ending (LukasArts style), tons of humor. Even made a video playing it, if you not familiar with a game.

https://youtu.be/uapiREpWo2Y

Is there any other point and click adventure games in the same retro style of gameplay, depths, and graphics?

Dont recommend actuall retro games like Secret Of Monkeys Island, blade runner, Maniac Mansion etc, because i am most likely already played them.

I am looking for modern games in the same category...

There's a fanmade sequel to Zak McKracken, though I can't speak for the quality because I've only played about an hour. http://www.mckracken.net/

Thimbleweed had good puzzles, but the ending was telegraphed from miles away, I hated how easy it was to predict. Kinda pissed me off.

Makes me Happy

Deponia trilogy (fuck the ending though)

>>377713953

Hate when a great game is ruined by shitty ending.

I don't understand why that's happens. Developers clearly know what they are doing.

Creating such a good story, atmosphere, unique characters... And then screwing everything up with a rushed ending.

Eh, shit happens. Up to the very end it's awesome and definitely worth playing if you're into PnC.

Pixels can be very comfy.
Can't believe this retro graphics can be so cozy.

Works best with noir

Machinarium.

Not retro looking, but very unique surreal style.
Very moody game.

It's a massive troll that gives you false hope that you can change Goodbye Deponia's terrible ending. Don't spend any money on that shit, it adds nothing to the story.

Great puzzle design, one of the best of it's genre indeed. The humor was ok until the shit ending, generic and boring.

Okay my dude, literally everything made by Wadjet Eye games, possibly excluding shardlight, since it's not that great.
Deponia series, all of the games have that wacky monkey island feel to them
Book of unwritten tales is good for some, I am not a fan of the series
Heroine's quest is fucking great
Kathy Rain is good as fuck too
Stay away from broken age and pretty much any other 3.3 million dollar man type projects

Primordia and Technobabylon

Primordia is good but a bit short in the end, Technobabylon is fantastic. And may or may not be getting a sequel.

It doesn't even have to be pixelated. Just cozy, unique, and atmospheric style.

I remember playing "Lula: The Sexy Empire", i think it used to be on DOS...

Even though it had a sex theme, it was very interesting adventure (empire builder actually, but point and click)

In the library there's a book called "The True Secret of Monkey Island".

In my opinion Thimbleweed Park went WAY overboard on meta jokes. Having a character be an adventure game designer added very little to the game, but resulted in so many forced jokes about old games. One or two tongue-in-cheek jokes would be fine, but they hit a point where they were just masturbating.
>>
>>377727196
There's an option to disable most of them now. But the requirements for removal didn't make much sense, so you get subtle references removed and blatant ones left in. Probably some sort of jab at complainers.

Are Samorost games good?

I guess i was looking at the game through nostalgic point of view, so jokes about old games worked out for me.

But who is playing something like this for the first time, might not get it.

Also, i have to mention one more adventure game, add it to the list.

Botanicula.
Characters are undescribable, ether can describe the lcations... There is no text or recognizable language... But, its an epic story about brave heroes with a very satisfying and big ending.
>>
>>377727196
this 100%
It's almost as if they couldn't build up a game of their own - they had to use references to have at least some sort of skeleton

For what purpose? Seems like a pretty stupid thing to do, even if the jokes did annoy people

I mostly care about noir story-telling.
Not so much about the style of the game.

Seen great 3d and 2d examples. Noir is what gets me.
