Point-and-click adventures were at the center of the games industry in the '90s. What would it look like for one to get a big budget in 2025?

I'd say the horror games like Until Dawn come pretty close. Sure, lot's of QTEs but at the core the decisions matter.

Maybe Detroit: Become Human is a better contender.

The Life is Strange games also come close, although their budget is still far away from AAA.
