Don't know if anyone wants to nominate it, and not even sure if it's club material, but I just finished 1979 Revolution: Black Friday, and was extremely impressed.
Thanks for bringing 1979 Revolution: Black Friday to my attention. It looks like a game I'd enjoy playing and always good to see games with narratives covering under-represented cultural histories (the dev team for this game is Iranian). Seems the game style is a bit similar to the Telltale games.
I'll happily nominate/second this one to see if it gets any more interest.
While I'm at it, I'd also like to nominate Eliza, the visual novel released by Zachtronics last year.
I'll second or third it. It is very much like a Telltale game, and absolutely fits as club material.
1979 is pretty good, and I particularly enjoyed the setting because it is interesting to see Middle Eastern countries depicted in a setting that does not consist of the US of A coming to save the day.
I played Eliza recently and thoroughly enjoyed it, although I'd make the case it is much closer to a visual novel than an adventure game. It would still make a great game for discussion among this group, though.
Thirded (going on the list):
1979 Revolution: Black Friday (2016) - AUs_TBirD, Neutrino, SpacePProtean
Just wanted to clarify that I only recommended the game but didn't mean to nominate it myself since I had just completed it and almost certainly wouldn't replay it if it became a club game in the near future.
Apologies if this has been discussed, it's been a while since popped my head round the corner of this thread, but have spotted Kentucky Route Zero is on sale for PS4. Is there a reason it's not been nominated? I know that it's taken a fair few years to release all the episodes, is it because the final act is too new? I know very little about it, me being more of a console gamer but definitely intrigues.

Good question. I'd be down for playing that. I've already done an episode and some of the "in-between", interstitial bits.
I assume Kentucky Route 0 was just nominated and seconded? I'll gladly third it, since I'm very interested in playing it now that all episodes are out.
I played through the first episode years ago, so when it wins, I'll almost certainly just start over.
If it was an acceptable pick, aye I'd be nominating. I was just wondering if the last episode releasing within a year excluded it, even though the first episode was half dozen years ago or more.
Done.
Quite a few picks this time that I'd be willing to play (again). Excited to see which one wins!
I voted, and I hope you all don't disappoint me
Yet.
Again.
I done did voted.
I have my hopes pinned, but there's really not a bad choice among them.
Apologies, it's been a busy couple of days. Yes, KR0 has been mentioned in the past, and it hadn't been added to the list of candidates, first because it was unfinished, and then because it was too recent. Remember:

1. Adventure Games that are at least a year old.
2. Games that are good, relatively inexpensive, and available through Steam, GMG, Humble Bundle or other legit means.As it is, the last episode was released in January of this year, and as it has received three nominations, I'm putting it on the list candidates. That does put us at 42 candidates so I'm going to keep it there for now. The new poll will go up soon!
Cheers Eleima. Havent been hanging about much recently and wasn't sure.
It has now dropped out of the psn sale and failed to pick it up, but if it wins I guess I'll have to splash the cash what with bending the rules to get it on the list early and all
Saying that if anyone hasn't played through Life is Strange they should be voting for it
I have voted although I would play anything on that list!
Ooh best go vote...
Sweet! I'm all-in!
Excellent I already own this but looking forward to another play.
A little bittersweet to have Nemesis come so close yet again, but I'll definitely take the excuse to finally dig into KR0!
Don't think the KR0 thread is up - I have not done a very thorough search, mind - but having played through Chapter 2, I just wanted to post the following while it was still fresh in my mind:
Third Floor - Bears.
This was/is a thing, one I enjoyed.
