Postapocalyptic adventure games and those that transport protagonist to another world. Any ideas?

[Zariusz]

Im searching for some titles that either would be set in a postapocalyptic world or alternative world/ another planet or even very far in the future. Kinda like Another World or Axiom Verge but point & click, any recommendations?

A New Beginning fits the bill well, too bad it's not a very good game
The Dig is a classic, alien planet scenario
The Longest Journey is about hopping between two alternative worlds, which happen to be complementary

 

[Darth Roxor]

Voyage: Journey to the Moon. You're a 19th century French scientist who lands on the moon and finds it to be quite inhabited.

Shardlight is set in a post-apocalyptic world

BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION - isometric post-apocalyptic adventure from STASIS developer

...takes place in a future version of Africa where humanity has been pushed to the brink of extinction by an unknown cataclysmic event.

Repella Fella is fun.

 

[Darkozric]

Sierra's Lighthouse: The Dark being. You're transferred to a world still crawling its way out from an ancient conflict between technology and nature, to help an abducted scientist and his daughter.

Beneath a Steel Sky

Not my cup of tea, but there's also Dustbowl, an indie post-apocalyptic adventure game.

Thanks for all suggestions, for now i started playing GOG version of The Dig, it seems like it could be interesting though i wonder if there will be moments where i could screw my playthrough by accident, kinda wonder if there is a patch for higher resolution.

Machinarium and the Samorost games.

 

[Neuromancer]

It's not Point&Click, but I still like to recommend another game:

If you also like Action Adventures that includes combat beside puzzles, story and exploration, I can highly recommend Outcast.
Some scientists opened a wormhole to another place, which they can't close anymore by themselves. You are send in with a few other scientists to fix the problem from the other side.
You awake alone in another world with alien creatures around you with their own society and ecosystem. You have to find some probes that were send from earth and also have to track down and find out what happened to your fellow scientists.

There was kind of a remake released a few years ago which supposedly better graphics. The original was kind of unique though, since it implemented voxel landscapes instead of polygons.

Nah, LucasArts games never had dead-ends.

Nah, LucasArts games never had dead-ends.

Maniac Mansion had too many.

Since you made the start I would also like to recommend Dark Earth, an ambitious 1997 post-apocalyptic action-adventure game by Kalisto Entertainment.

Part true adventure game, part action/thriller, with strong influences from Alone in the Dark.

"The Silent Age". Fairly short (3 hours, give or take), I'd recommend getting it on sale.

Zak McKracken as well.

Lucas Arts (or better Lucasfilm Games at that time) only started this deathless philosophy technically with Indy 3.
But even with this game, if you got unlucky and/or managed your resources badly and got into too much combat with other soldiers, it could become rather difficult to impossible to reach the end of the annoying escape sequence late in the game.


The Dig of course, doesn't have this problem. You can't screw anything up.
There is only one alternative scene at the end depending on one choice of yours.
