Fresh off the press, there's a demo just released for a new adventure game called 80 days, loosely based on jules verne story. It's not exactly revolutionary but apparently it breaks the mould of traditional adventure games. This demo is a big file and about 3% of the whole game. Not downloaded it myself yet, but I will do.
To quote someone from a forum:
"80 days is an ADVENTURE game, not a ROLE PLAYING GAME, not a GTA LIKE, not a SHENMUE like, not a FINAL FANTASY LIKE, not anything like. you CANNOT kill people, park your car on their head, sell their skin, rape men and women, shoot elephants, destroy buildings, carbonize passers by."
