When listing Wadjet Eye I totally blanked on Unavowed, absolutely fantastic. Resonance is the only Wadjet Eye supposedly good game I couldnt get into.
Stasis, a creepy sci-fi horror adventure game.
Above list was mostly mainstream games, I missed a lot of indie/obscure/wacky titles:
Tormentum – Dark Sorrow, a dark creepy visual horror point&click.
https://frogdetective.net 2 episodes so far. Hard to describe, but lot of laughs.
The Darkside Detective is super funny.
Hector: Badge of Carnage, another hilarious police detective game.
murdercide 2017 https://powerhoof.itch.io/murdercide-2017 same as above!

The Flower Collectors https://store.steampowered.com/app/1034750/The_Flower_Collec... same deal but post Franco Spain full of furries :)
Backbone, good adventure game if you dont mind the furries :). Published by Raw Fury who also does Clifftop Games. Clifftop made two solid games in Adventure Game Studio:
Kathy Rain
Whispers of a Machine
Didnt play but are supposedly good:
Darkestville Castle
Dead Synchronicity
The Dark Eye series
Titles like Grim Fandango or Thimbleweed Park were too obvious to list. Adventure games seem to be doing better than ever despite everyone claiming early nineties as the golden age.
