I think adventure games are poised for a renaissance with VR and oculus quest. in a way its like whats old is suddenly becoming new again.
We are at a stage where adventure games are relatively cheap to make, and platforms like Steam and the App Store makes it easier to self-publish. It might not be hugely profitable, but that doesn't matter.
Not many games have made me cry, but that one managed it.
It's still a really good game, and it had me wearing my VR gear much further into the night than was either comfortable or sane, but if relaxation is what you're looking for then ... this is not it.
Stuff like Hello Neighbor, Poppy Playtime, Bendy and the Ink Machine, and of course the juggernaut that is Five Nights at Freddy's have gotten quite popular. Not as popular as Fortnite, obviously, but it's more than a tiny niche.
Remember Robinson - the journey, a vr adventure made by crytek? It looked so promising i almost considered getting playstation vr although motion sickness is a real problem for me.
