I remember around 15 years ago I watched my cousin played an adventure game. It was the era of Monkey Island and Quest for Glory. I only saw the game for a few minutes, there was this boy walking around in a market / around houses and the woman he talked to mentioned something about her stepmom. That's all I saw and too bad I didn't ask him the name of the game right there. Several years later, I asked him and he has no idea what I'm talking about. Anyone has any suggestion?
Perhaps one of the episodic tales of monkey island games? http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland/episodes
