Is there anything similar to The Last Express?

Because this game simply has me bewitched. It's style, plot, feeling, characters, voiceactors, hell, even graphics, are all sublime. I'm curious now if there is anything (even movies, books) similar to this masterpiece?
Also, general The Last Express thread. (i didn't post this in the adventure district, because that place is more or less dead)

As far as I know, there's nothing, which is a damn shame because it's truly a fucking masterpiece, and easily one of the best games I've ever played.

Actually, there are probably similar text adventures.

How is a first-person graphical adventure similar to a text adventure?

Shadorwun: Hong Kong
It is real time clock controlled with non-player character movement.

Ex: Varicella.

There are other graphic adventures that are real time and some with npc movement sometimes (eg: KGB), but none has the striking graphics technique that the last express uses (though there is a similar (or at least; related) film; a PK Dick adaptation
A scanner darkly
)

If you want entertainment with a similar atmosphere; parts of the "Young Indiana Jones" probably qualify according to my memory.

(as well as the obvious one: Murder on the Orient Express)
