Genre -
Adventure is preferred. Minimal (if any) action/combat involved.
Features -
1) Required:
-Needs to have puzzles that require player's smarts and items in-game to solve. I'd love to find out not only which key may go where, but what item can do stuff like open passageways, slay deadly monsters in my way, etc.
- Also needs to have some sort of challenge, like risk of defeat/death/game over if something isn't done right.
- Relatively solid gameplay.
- Decent plot/story, especially if it leave some surprises.
2) Optional:
- Point-and-click interface.
- Narration/written logs explaining actions, story, etc. |
Judging by your description, I highly recommend The Longest Journey. Rather good adventure game with pretty good puzzles, interesting story, setting and characters. Not to mention that it also a point-and-click game. No fighting in the game, though.
As for Shadowgate, I have never heard of it so I apologise if I didn't take that into consideration when I wrote this post.
