As if awakening from a troubled sleep, you find yourself in a strange, contradictory world of crumbling temples and abandoned science outposts: the Anomaly, the only place in the universe where the laws of physics don't work as they should. Your memories are fragmented, but you know you came here for a reason.
Tasked with solving a series of increasingly complex puzzles, you will relive your life as an explorer, and with it, the history of the world that humanity built.
Some say the Anomaly is Heaven. Some say it’s Hell. All that’s certain is that judgement awaits.
The Ultimate Puzzles
Tackle a fresh set of devious puzzles using both familiar and all-new mechanics, taking the gameplay to its absolute peak. Complete only what you must, or pursue the deeper secrets of the Anomaly and the answers they hold.
Journey's End
Take the last step in the story of The Talos Principle in a thought-provoking, character-driven exploration of life, death, and the Sublime as envisioned by the Talos writing team: Jonas Kyratzes, Verena Kyratzes, and Tom Jubert.
The Universal Republic
Explore an ambitious future history through fragments of personal memories. From a desert planet undergoing terraforming to the beautiful gardens of Elysium, experience a hopeful vision of the distant human future: post-scarcity, but never post-human.
Reality Is Music
Enjoy an all-new original soundtrack by master composer Damjan Mravunac, whose music is the beating heart of the trilogy.

An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.

Awesome news. Wavey Games is a machine!
In other news Hilltop announced their next fan translation patch which is for the PS1 game Kowloon's Gate set for release on June 9th.
They've released patches for a few Japan only adventure games in the past like Aconcagua and B.L.U.E. - The Legend of Water and the quality is exceptionally high. The game looks really unique so I'm looking forward to checking it out.
Japan has great adventures. I would love a fan translation of Twilling Syndrome and the original Kamaitachi no Yoru.
Also I think is pretty sad that many western adventure gamers don't see Visual Novels as adventures. They are. And even if they didn't like the anime aesthetic of many of them, there is a lot with more realistic graphics

I hope you feel free to recommend/promote both!
Here's a game I played in an early (game jam) version, for the freeware thread. I didn't post about it, as the final screen hinted at a bigger, more polished version being in the works. Here it is, as a commercial game:

Ignore the blackbird is a hand-drawn watercolour puzzle game set inside a beautiful greenhouse. Explore the room, interact with the objects around you, and reflect on what happened to Sonya's family.
