> FMV games were something that looked like the future to a little kid but once you played them they were awful.

I still have a certain amount of love for the genre and I'm secretly hoping they make a comeback someday without many of the limitations they had at the time.

Phantasmagoria was a gem if you've never tried it. Night Trap is just awkward to play, and didn't deserve the moral panic, but at least those kids can emulate it now. You'd be better off just watching it on youtube though.

Under a Killing Moon and The Pandora Directive were really goofy but kinda fun adventure games.
Both on GOG too! I'll have to check them out
Obduction is a newer Myst-Like with some of the old FMV trimmings
