... those aren't even point and click games. They're cutscenes that let you pick the largely superficial dialogue options.

The Walking Dead was enjoyable, so was Wolf Among Us. I own more Telltale I haven't played yet.. I think my top three are.. The Blackwell Series. I've started The Night of The Rabbit and it seems great so far. To be honest my library is a fucking mess and I can't think of anymore because I've had a glass of wine. THE CAT LADY. That game is awesome.

The Walking Dead are fun, but I prefer Botanicula and Machinarium.

  • Gemini Rue (other Wadjet Eye games also count, especially Primordia)
  • Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis (Lucasarts classic)

Sanitarium, how could I forget about it? It's really one of the best.

Sorry for the teeny-tiny correction, but Nightmares from the Deep is a hidden object game. (sorry, just clearing things up)
THOUGH! it's mechanics are quite similar to traditional point-and-click games, and it's story also quite solid.
If OP is intrested in Nightmares, I'd suggest also the other Artifex Mundi HOgames: The Forsaken Bride and Enigmatis 1-2 were my favourites :)

But if you would something more mature then read comments in this discussion.

A few honourable mentions.

The Book of Unwritten Tales is quite fantastic. Both in terms of how its tongue-in-cheek treatment of the generic fantasy setting never makes it feel tacky, and in terms of how lovely the puzzles were.

Ben There, Dan That (along with Time, Gentlemen) is pretty fun if you can get past the rather simplistic graphics.

The Dream Machine has got a lovely sombre story (not to mention the stylish visuals).

Oknytt adds some nice new mechanics to the usual inventory fiddling point-and-click fare. And the Norse folklore setting just oozes atmosphere.

2nd on Book of Unwritten Tales. My wife lists it as her favourite game of all time and she loves point and click games. I even watched her play the whole thing and thoroughly enjoyed being a spectator. Number two is next on her list and, if it's half as good, I'm sure she'll love it.

Myst Series and Shadowgate

It's not a "pure" point and click game, since it has RPG elements, but you should try Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok. It's free and REALLY well done.

There are plenty of good point & click games on Steam, but not every game will be to everyone's taste. Shadowgate for an example is in my opinion excellent, but it's also very punishing and might frustrate some. The Longest Journey is very story heavy (and it has a great story!), but its puzzle are a bit lacking, while Myst has amazing puzzles, but the story is not as amazing. Anyway, here are 3 games I think you should check out:

-Syberia
-The Dig
-Shadowgate

Honourable mentions:
-Myst
-Monkey Island
-The Longest Journey
-Still Life 1 (but not 2)
-LOOM
-Gray Matter
-Gemini Rue
-The Blackwell series
-Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened

That should be enough to get you by.

Definitely check out The Longest Journey. The first Still Life was good too (the storyline is related to Post Mortem).

I'd add Broken Sword 1+2 but the remastered versions on Steam are crap (well, the first one is, can't say I've tried the second one).

I liked the first two Secret Files games as well as Lost Horizon.

The Monkey Island games, on steam are the 1 & 2 ther is also a third one that is the best of the saga in my opinion but you may have to use ScummVM for that and also there is the fourth one which is OK but not as great as the others which also isn't on steam.
Also there is the Tales of Monkey Island from Tell Tale games, haven't played them but any point & click game from Tell Tale is great check them out :)

So you're recommending two games you haven't even played. Cool.

Most Daedalic Entertainment games. Especially Deponia series.

And many more, I'm too tired at the moment to enumerate them.

Well best/favourite is a boring and challenging recommendation to give. But I rather enjoyed playing Dead Mountaineers Hotel, even if it is a bad game.

And not on Steam, but I absolutely loved Process.

Deponia trilogy, I still haven't played the 3rd one but they are fun. Also Telltale games although those are not your conventional point-and-click games, but they are still great.
