Yeah I tried the playtest of it that’s available on Steam and it felt solid to me. It controls much more easily than the original game which makes it a different and easier game, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I liked how it looked too

Planning on playing it this month for the monthly adventure game club I organize. It looks really cool and I think it’s getting some sort of spinoff or game set in the same universe later this year

Some recent ones I like that I haven’t seen mentioned yet are
NORCO
Thaumistry
The Nick Bounty trilogy
The Aching
Blood Nova

And then some games that aren’t traditional adventure games but have some adventure game or Interactive Fiction elements:
Lake
Citizen Sleeper
Cartomancy Anthology

yeah, I think last year was one of the best for the genre in a long time

I’m totally blanking on if they have multiple endings but I love Digital: A Love Story and If Found. I also liked We Know The Devil and A Summer’s End - Hong Kong 1986, which do have multiple endings, but are a little more adult. All are fairly short. Ladykiller in a Bind is more comedic since you’re looking for something along those lines and each playthrough is fairly short although that has more player input than the other games I mentioned.

I think a lot of adventure game fans have heard of it but Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon is pretty great and it’s my favorite game designed by Josh Mandel. I really wish it could get a digital rerelease.
