You can find more Phoenix developed and published games in this list: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=Phoenix%20Online%20Publishing

If you like great story-telling and don't mind dated graphics, I'd recommend 'The Longest Journey'. One of my favourites along side the Gabriel Knight series. The 'Syberia' series is another great classic series.

Not sure if they're on mac though, but I know steam has them in their store.

Depending on your tolerance for low-res pixel graphics, the adventures developed and/or published by Wadget Eye Games are excellent, with the Blackwell series chief among them.

I second that. The Blackwell Series is very good. I also recommend Gemini Rue.

I highly recommend Gemini Rue. It's the old-school Bladerunner adventure-game we never got.

The Blackmirror series, the Syberia series, the Dark Eye series, Secret Files:Tunguska, Cognition, the other Gabriel Knights, of course...

Gray matter from Jane Jensen is also a good one you can try out.

Thank you for the support! It was also largely inspired by Gabriel Knight and even featured Jane jensen as a story consultant.

no problems, i look forward to more new games and hopefully a GK4 in the future :)

As much as I love old school VGA adventure games, the Blackwell series is very overrated. You can finish these games in one sitting just by talking to other characters and exhausting conversation options. Plus, the whole sitcom set-up is a little too cute. There's really nothing like GK out there.

I have almost completed Lost Horizon (available on Steam). I found that to be surprisingly enjoyable. Bore a little resemblence to the old Indiana Jones games from Lucas Arts.

It's a brilliant concept with a great story, great gameplay mechanic and interesting puzzles. Sadly it's told very poorly with several technical flaws (which I attrribute most of that to the Unity engine itself as many of the same technical flaws appear in both GK20 and other Unity games I have played), horrendous dialogue in many areas, some really bad voice acting, bland characters, and some awkward scenrios.

A brilliant concept trainwrecked by poor execution on so many levels, but it is a story you won't forget because of its intricacy.

Oh, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is another gem of the classic adventure age. It's really too bad Lucasarts didn't release Full Throttle. Oh, another greta Lucas Arts title: The Dig. Also The Monkey Island series if you're in for quirky characters and off the wall humor.

I wholeheartedly agree with all of these. The Fate of Atlantis is still one of my all-time favourite, ever. Check out http://scummvm.org/
