You can get thief trilogy for 2 dollars.

What fucking trilogy you shit taste retard?

Morpheus Kitami · Feb 12, 2021

Seconding Sanitarium, but that's best played without much prior knowledge of the game, FYI.

Dragon Lore
Goblins Trilogy
Noctropolis
The Rusty Lake series (started off as a free flash game series called Cube Escape)

Not really the most adventure-y, but The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour are fun pseudo-adventures.
Also, I could have swore the Elvira games were on GOG at one point, but it doesn't look like it...

Those are part of the worst games I've ever played, don't play that.

Any recommendations for less known/underrated adventure games on GOG that are worth buying? Their search function is shit, and I've played most of the Lucasarts classics, or games like The Last Express, Broken Sword, Toonstruck, and Wadjet Eye stuff. If there's something worth checking out, please recommend. Searching for "best pc adventure games" on google mostly returns idiotic lists with Arkham games or Uncharted, so I turn to Codex for recommendations. Also, I tried Telltale games and didn't really like them, and Deponia as well, but couldn't get past obnoxious characters and weird German humor.

For modern-ish stuff I enjoyed Lost Horizon a lot.

Whispers of a Machine and Kathy Rain are pretty solid. The latter is better, but Whispers have some rudimentary choice system. Not sure if they matter much.

Trying not to repeat the others' suggestions (Dragonsphere!) & not sure if those really count as less known : Mission Critical, Shadow Of The Comet (insane atmosphere), Edna & Harvey (both of them). Also Night Of The Rabbit had fun puzzles. Memoria is also very good but I don't know about the english translation, original german seems to be unavailable on GOG for some reason.
Detective Gallo is charming but borderline insultingly easy, Unforeseen Incidents has a strong first half / two thirds and a terrible-shit last chapter.

Edit : just checked, The Dream Machine is on GOG. Awesome game, don't let the weaker first chapter deter you.

I'd like to point out that while this is true (and the accompanying Museum thing is amazing) the game has a very obtuse control scheme. The mouse functions more like the arrow keys, and I seem to remember it couldn't use all the actions?

Yeah, just move with the keyboard, it's easier. Not sure what you mean about not using all actions though. Right-click opens the upper bar and lets you choose an action, & that's it ?
I mainly used the mouse to point to be honest, all actions having a keyboard shortcut.

Thanks for all the recommendations. After checking my Steam and GOG libraries I realized I already own some of those games, like Kathy Rain, Whispers of a Machine and the Dream Machine (probably from Humble Bundles or free offers). Others seem interesting as well, like Shadow of the Comet, Sanitarium or Beautiful Desolation. Already played Blade Runner and Beneath a Steel Sky, but still it's nice to own Blade Runner on GOG. When I played it some years ago, it was a pain in the ass to set up and play. Amazing game, though. Fuck EA to eternity for what they did to Westwood. Anyway, now I have enough adventure games for this year, it's going to be good. :cool:

Why is the Codex of all places covering up for gog's cowardly doings by splitting off all the Devotion-related posts into the members-only Drama section?

The Doritos must flow, huh...

For what it's worth (probably not much TBH, because I usually end up in the bottom 10% of donors anyway), I decided to cut my annual Codex donation by 25% because of this.

Steam page went up for Days Gone. Good chance that it releases on GOG.com too (a couple months after probably) since Sony released Horizon Zero Dawn there. Fingers crossed.

So, why not instead posting the GOG link, when (and if !) it comes out, instead of posting a Steam link into the GOG release forum?

In the interest of not getting stuck with a Steam copy of a game that is most likely releasing on GOG, just letting anyone interested to hold off. Wouldn't have bought the Steam copy myself if I knew it'd come to my preferred service.

Dunno made sense to me.
