Any more games like this?

[Holding These Alligators Down]

So i just played through The Shivah and really enjoyed it, especially the voice acting and modern day setting. Good game even though it's VERY short.
Are there any there any more point and click adventure games on Steam which are set in the modern day? I like science fiction and fantasy ones but a modern day setting is really refreshing in this genre.

Look for some other Wadjet Eye games.

Gemini Rue and Primordia aren't modern-day, but I can highly recommend Primordia anyway (haven't played Gemini Rue).

The Blackwell series is really good. In addition, you've already met the protagonist Rosangela Blackwell in the bar. It's set in the same world/city.

[Holding These Alligators Down]

I have Gemini Rue, it's a great game and it's inspired by Blade Runner which is awesome.
I'll check out the Blackwell games. I was wondering who that girl was in the bar and why you couldn't talk to her.

Ooh, clever. I played this one first, so I didn't pick up on that. Didn't she seem to be having a conversation with herself or something? Now that makes sense.

yep also, theres an email from rosangela to the rabbi, implying she wrote a story involved with him.

I recommend "the samaritan paradox".

Oh, that explains why I could look her up. Nice little easter egg there. This is my first Wadjet Eye game so I didn't know about that.

the Blackwell games which are lots better. i didnt like this game anywhere close to the Blackwell ones. i think something is just missing without Joey, and also because this game is shorter, some of the solutions are kind of abstract and the voice acting isnt really as good.

but if you just mean any point and click games, from any company and any point in time ever, you cant get any better than the Monkey Island series. you must play that series if you havent. i think you can get the HD updated versions of 1 & 2 on steam, but check out the rest of the series. Curse of Monkey Island is especially good.

the end of this game with the punching and question asking was based on the Insult Swordfighting from MI.

Go and have a look at "The Detail". It's not quite the same but I enjoyed it alot

Thimbleweed Park - well, if you count the 80s as modern... It is way more focused on the riddles and the open world than the Wadjet games, which care more about the characters and linear storytelling.
