Played Myst, SOMA, Maize, Neverhood, Armikrog, kinda wanna include The Dig in this, The 7th Guest, currently playing Obduction.

Looking for games in similar vein. Backlog includes Riven.

Sure, a lot of work is put into writing, acting it out and recording voice over, but most of the time I can do without it.

Edit: Oh, and Machinarium on Android.

The Witness is a good one.

Missed the Epic Store giveaway... :( Will keep an eye out for it on GOG Sales, though.

Do you mean "speech-less and text-less" games like FAR: Lone Sails, Limbo, Inside, etc? Or do you mean traditional point & click text adventures where there may be text writing but no voice-overs / vocal speech? There are probably a lot of "old-school" games like that such as Indiana Jones Last Crusade / Fate of Atlantis easily found by looking for games "Powered by ScummVM" with typically small install sizes. Or newer "VO-less" games like Finding Paradise, To The Moon, The Darkside Detective, The Last Door.

If you mean you want text but no voice, for many ScummVM games you could change the "Text and Speech" setting from "Both" to just "Subtitles" for the "non talkie" versions of games that do come with speech? I'm pretty sure many Wadjet Eye Games like Gemini Rue, Unavowed, Blackwell, etc, and similar AGS based games like Kathy Rain, Whispers of a Machine, etc, all have the same Voice & Text / Voice only / Text only option too (or separate sliders for voice and ambient sound / music volume). Day of The Tentacle Remastered, Grim Fandango Remastered, Thimbleweed Park, etc, there are probably a ton of games (maybe even most) where if you don't want to hear the voice but don't mind reading text, you can just turn the voice component off.

Nope, I mean point & click adventure games where the transcript is less than "5" pages long (arbitrary number). The Dig may not fit the bill 100%, but it's not dialogue heavy either. I'm assuming that one caused the confusion? I'll check the first 3 games you mentioned. Thanks.
nvm, should have read all the posts above :P
