hello r/adventuregames community!

A bit after COVID started, I wanted to reconnect more with my mom (we lived in different states), and I offered up that we play through some adventure games together. She's always been a fan of mystery stories and I've always wanted to get my family more into video games, and adventure games seemed like a good mix of the two.

It's become a regular thing for us at this point and we've been really enjoying the time we spend. I'm writing to ask y'all for suggestions along the lines of what we've played already, as we've had one or two duds since our tastes don't entirely overlap.

So far we've played (and loved)

* the Syberia series (just wrapped up The World Before)
* the Monkey Island series
* Kathy Rain
* Whispers of the Machine
* Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
* Lamplight City

We also started the first Blackwell game and Oxenfree, but my mom doesn't like possession stories that much, so we quit both of those. She's also got a bit of a religious bend (lifelong Catholic), so I would also like to avoid anything excessively gorey or harder edged.

Would y'all have some suggestions on what to look at next, based on what we've enjoyed thus far? We're open to any era or genre. There's always some best-of lists that I could look at, and I am, but I'd love to hear about any particular favorites or lesser-known games that you think would be a good fit.
