i recently played Syberia, Resonance, The Samaritan Paradox and Lamplight City. I'm looking for games along the same direction: 90s/2000s style adventure games. It could be really old games or also retro ones that have been released recently.

Do you have any recommendations on games you particularly enjoyed?

Any information on Linux compatibility would be a plus. But these days almost everything works anyway, so it's not a big deal.

The Nancy Drew adventure game series is in the vein of what you are looking for.
The community on the place that shall not be named is(was?) very active and full of people sharing point-and-click game suggestions.
There's even a spreadsheet!

Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
