IF works adapted to other genres / media?

I should say that I think Hadean Lands is not a great candidate for a graphical adaptation. The puzzles are not visual at all, aside from a couple of combination locks. The game information is multisensory – I spend a lot of time describing different smells, textures, feelings, and even emotional responses as you go through the rituals. In graphical form that would be, what? Different colored bubbles and steam and some sound effects? I think it would really flatten it out in a boring way.

there’ve been all these games lately about potion-making and herbology

Strange Horticulture was really good, I thought.
