The bulk of adventure games use the 'single cursor' control scheme these days; Daaedalic is not the first.

Daedalic actually was the first, they've done it in basically all their games. And they do it very well, which is why I mentioned it.

As a company, Daedalic has only been a company for 10 years. Here are some games older than 10 years that use a 'single cursor' interface:

King's Quest 7 from 1994

Zork Grand Inquisitor from 1997

The Longest Journey from 1999

Blackwell Legacy from 2006

Pretty much, this has been the standard interface for most P&C games since the mid 90s.
