There are lots of these games (at least in Germany where they are rather successful, although in its niche). For example I can recommend most of the adventure games that Daedelic Entertainment (a studio from Hamburg/Germany) produced:
- The Whispered World
- Edna bricht aus (Edna & Harvey: The Breakout) (don't be put off by its graphics)
- Harveys neue Augen (Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes) - The sequel to Edna & Harvey: The Breakout
The Deponia series from Daedelic is also said to be very good (haven't played it, though).
I could list you lots of other very good adventure games from the last years, also from other studios.
