The Longest Journey is one of the greatest graphical adventure games ever created. The late 90s release covers April Ryan's discovery and subsequent exploration of a parallel universe. The parallel universe is guided by magic, while her home universe is guided by science and technology, much like our own. The delicate balance between magic and science must be sustained or else catastrophe will ensure.
The soundtrack is exceptional even as a standalone work. Definitely check out this game (and there's an early puzzle involving a rubber ducky that it's best to just look up the solution to) and the soundtrack!

A Troika Games CRPG masterpiece, often overlooked due to the greater popularity of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. We have the conflicting interplay between magic and technology here as well, an opening cinematic that is one of the best (if you can forgive the low resolution) due to it's age, and tons of features that may or may not work on a given playthrough.
The soundtrack is top notch! Definitely check it out!
