Example flash game with similar interface ideas

Check this out, it's so similar to what I'm imagining (except with our artwork and storyline etc of course). Play the free demo of it here: http://machinarium.net/demo/

I like how simple the interface is and also the fact it uses lovely illustration artwork. All it's missing is dialogue which will be important for the Curious Malady game.

Oh and this was done in Flash so it's a good showcase for that too :)
