Nobody save the world
This is an interresting one, though I wonder when it'll become at least a bit of a challenge.
So you roam around on a fixed map (no procedural generation), in a combat-system very much like Binding...

This is an FMV adventure-game. Not like Dungeon's Lair, which was motion-capture (so now I know what happened to FMV games), but live action stuff.
It is unlike Phantasmagoria 2 way more serious,...

Not the hardest game per se, but shouldn't be your first either, because the puzzles, stuff to do and humour is a bit on the abstract side already.
