Arguably "Disco Elysium" is a modern text adventure.
A text adventure crossed with a point & click puzzle game in a 3D world admittedly but the vast majority of the actual game itself is contained within the text.
It's a text adventure by anything but the most hidebound traditionalist definition. The text is where all of the real action takes place; the graphics are more an illustration of that text than the reality of the game.
and illustrated text adventures have a venerable history; i still have fond memories of "twin kingdom valley" which was released back in 1983. (the graphics were necessarily crude, given the technology of the time, but surprisingly evocative)
