Games like Thimbleweed Park

I have just finished playing Thimbleweed Park, the latest adventure by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick. I decided to play this game more than three years after it was released, and I really enjoyed it, much more than most recent adventures.

I would like recommendations of similar games. I decided to start this thread so I could get non-obvious recommendations, as I have seen in all forums I visited so far. I am not exactly a beginner at adventure games. I have played all Lucas Arts games for countless hours, so Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle or Full Throttle are far from being news to me. I have some mixed feelings about Sierra adventure games, but some of them are good as well. I tried adventures by Telltale Games, and some of them are good, but the more recent ones abandoned the puzzle-solving in favor of being just interactive stories (which I am not looking for). It would be great to try newer games, but I am not searching for the style of The Witcher or Assassin's Creed, as they do not qualify as point-and-click classic adventure games.

I would like adventure games that would fit in these:

1. A point-and-click graphic adventure game;
2. Third-party point of view;
3. Great story and atmosphere;
4. Good interface and controls;
5. Good game design;
6. No open world;
7. Not easy to die;
8. Not an obvious recommendation.

Any suggestion? Thanks.
 
I recommend that you take a look at the games of Wadjet Eye Games. They started out as basically one guy in his bedroom, but their production quality has gone up over time. The Blackwell series are some of my favourite point and clicks:

I also really enjoyed Kathy Rain- I'd definitely recommend that.
