Evil Under the Sun is the only one I've tried so far this decade.  It
was okay but it had quite a bit of character interrogations too, and
that dragged the adventure down a bit.

Then you probably wouldn't like any Agatha Christie games, as they all
involve quite a lot of interaction with characters in the game. I am playing
"The Awakened" which is a Sherlock Holmes games and its quite a lot of
talking too. Did you play "The Longest Journey"? A lot of people liked it,
but some said too much talking. I liked it and the sequel called Dreamfall
came out a few years ago and I liked it but some people didn't.

I don't recall the classic games of the 90s being like that.

Some of the 90's games had a lot of interaction between characters, but if
you mean interrogations such as Evil Under the Sun, or Sherlock Holmes
Nemesis, they are detective type games so you there is interrogations. Some
are linear. When you mention "next day" what came to mind right away was
"Dracula Unleashed" which would be from mid 90's I think and that was a game
you had to do things in order or the day would not end and you had to do the
day over again. I finally used a walkthrough to avoid frustration, but I
liked the game OK. But there was probably not as many games that were so
linear.
I am thinking of games like Kings quest 6 and 7. They had to be done in
order before moving on. Maybe you don't mind the interaction, but don't like
interrogations in games. I tried Zork Nemesis not long ago and I think I
tried it in Dosbox, but the mouse was too fast, so I didnt get far. Keep
looking. You will find something.
