I use it for The Longest Journey. Means you can add mods to make text more legible for example
TIL you can run Longest Journey with SCUMMVM! That's so cool. I remember the retail release on disc being quite fickle to run properly.
Runs perfectly. Arguably better than the Steam version directly (though that's where I bought it through) which kept crashing for me. Add on the mods recommended in the Steam community page and it gives it a big boost too. Highly recommended.
The review for Necronomicon: The Dawning of Darkness (2000) on Steam (91 positive, 116 negative) and on GOG (3.3 with 56 reviews) suggests it's not total trash.
And it's made by Microids, a relatively well known studio in the adventure games space. They made a bunch of early 3D euro-adventures starting from the early to mid 2000s including; the Syberia series, the Atlantis series, Amerzone (which recently saw a remake released).
My personal favourite is Post Mortem (2002), which is a bit formulaic, but I like the 1920s Paris setting.
A lot of their games are not on GOG and while you can find them without too much difficulty, I suspect some don't run well and require modding. I am personally curious about Road to India: Between Hell and Nirvana; I like the setting, even if the main story seems somewhat cliche.
