pretty much the title. i have played most of sierra, lucasarts and telltale catalogues so if you are suggesting one of their games i've probably already played it. it doesn't have to be a copycat, homage or in the same style as these companies' games either, just that it must satisfy the vague definition of being an "adventure game" and have a good story. thanks in advance, can't wait to see your recommendations!

EDIT: thanks for your recommendations i couldn't reply to everyone. i can't to play (most of) them when i got time.

It's really stretching the adventure game definition but if you are open to first person games without combat with great stories I would recommend :

  • "the outer wilds" : really nice puzzles, good story, wonderful setting, definitely not linear.
  • "SOMA" : a little dark, engaging story, this was an amazing experience.

Did you mean The Outer Worlds or Outer Wilds?

He surely meant "Outer Wilds" based on his description. Fantastic and memorable game that will make you sad reminiscing your playthrough. Go in completely blind
