I recently discovered Wadjet Eye adventures. After playing "Gemini Rue" and "Technobabylo" I just finished "Unavowed". It's my favorit so far - actually it is a good story told in the form of an adventure game. The UI is very simple, walk / interact & look. There are almost no item combination riddles. Actually, I found most riddles to be rather easy and the game is more or less linear within the scenes. I didn't experience that as a disadvantage though as the riddles act for me more as a hook to be involved in the story. I enjoyed the dialogues in general and the voice acting particularly. While you cannot die in this game, you have to make some moral choices that will somewhat impact the ending. The story has a nice noire/gothic touch to it, a bit Lovecraft/Poe meets modern NYC and horrormovie-pop. If you like adventures, or if you like stories that are interactive, have a look at the game and try it. It's one of the most enjoyable games I played in recent years.
