It's the future and San Francisco is shockingly still there; In Tex Murphy: Tesla Effect, you play as a flawed private detective that lives in the mutant end of town. At the start of the game, Tex wakes up from being attacked, with no recollection of the past seven years of his life. Since you're a detective, you spend the duration of the game trying to piece together why you were attacked, along with trying to figure out what happened to your memory.
Humble Bundle's latest bundle features spiritual and actual sequels to beloved classic games, including Shadowrun, Broken Sword, and Tex Murphy.

I'm so happy this genre is seeing resurgence, my best gaming experiences have come from point click adventures, Monkey Islands, Goblins, Beneath a Steel Sky, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Fate of Atlantis, etc….. I loved playing through Grim Fandango again and we also have the remaster of Day of the Tentacle to look forward to.
Judging from the titles this article lists it seems I have some catching up to do as I've only played Broken Sword 5 and Broken Age.
