I just finished playing Deponia complete, my first foray into aventure since two decades or so.

I was wondering if there are adventure games that have multiple solutions to puzzles,
or have a branching storyline with choice and consequences.
Something like RPG meets adventure game.

Did someone make such a game (yet?)

Not really what you are looking for (I guess), but check out Heroine's Quest on Steam. It's free, and feels quite non-linear with the addition of RPG elements in the PNC formula.

Quest for glory maybe?

 

[rogue74]

Yup, Quest for Glory series is your best bet.

Shame it's not available anywhere.

Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis had 3 paths. Not really open ended but not bad for the time!

 

[bigjig]

Fate of Atlantis is the only one that comes to mind

 

[dragonzdogma]

Pacman supernes? The point and click one.its good.

Always wanted to play this after reading Scorchy's LP

Quest for Glory.

Westwood was so awesome. Command and Conquer, Legend of Kyrandia, Blade Runner, Nox, all great games.

Damn EA.

Every puzzle in Stacking has multiple solutions. God I loved that game.

QfG was also the first thing that sprang to mind. Not sure if many games fit the bill of the OP, though the Tex Murphy games (Under a Killing Moon, The Pandora Directive, Overseer, Tesla Effect) regard me as having meaningful choices. IIRC The Pandora Directive has branched storytelling, and some puzzles appear only on certain paths. Tesla Effect also did this.

I'd also recommend asking in the PnC thread, as your question might get a bit more traffic in there from people who may miss this thread.

The Last Express has multiple endings and is also played in real time.

 

[ScepticMatt]

Thanks everyone, I'll take a closer look at Quest for Glory.

Wanted to post this. Really one of the best adventure games ever. Made by the guy who made the original prince of persia and sands of time, but this is his best work by far. This game is still mindblowing to me.

They recently put an updated version on iOS and Steam that's pretty cheap.

I have yet to play it, but from what I've played of the demo I think Unrest fits what you seek very nicely.

Unrest

That was pretty much the whole idea behind the Bladerunner game. It didn't work out as impressively as it was promised, but it's definitely interesting having a more 'living' PnC Adventure game.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Shadow of Destiny would be my top pick.

 

[Bookman]

Kyrandia 3 (?) Long time since I played it but there Was several solutions to puzzels. Was there any choises, i remember the good and bad meter ?

 

[ramine]

You should try I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. It's on Steam. There are many characters you can play in any order.

I played through it for the first time last year and thought it was great.

Spoiler

How they managed to randomize who is a replicant and other story elements was certainly very interesting.

Colonel's Bequest is one of the best adventure games ever

And of course
