Status : Offline | Chris, what you say is very interesting to me because I often get that feeling if I subject myself to sombre, moody stories for too long at a time. I start to feel devitalised and even depressed. The desire for something bright, sunny, and warm is what attracts me powerfully to games like Atlantis: The Lost Tales and Beyond Atlantis. They are all too rare...
Other games that are pretty good this way are the King's Quest series, the Quest for Glory series, Leisure Suit Larry (seriously! Maybe not the first one so much, but the others), Gabriel Knight 3 (one of the great things about it is how much of it takes place in bright, baking sunlight, and this only enhances the atmosphere, more realistic than the famous X-Files style where not even official buildings seem to have paid their electricity bills), and the two Interplay Star Trek games.
(Also television series like the original Star Trek and early Star Trek: The Next Generation and seaQuest DSV. The execution is often flawed in both, but I love the cheery aesthetic they were going for. )
