I really should play Trepang2 – I bought it when there was a discount coupon.

I enjoyed Whispering Willows when I played it a number of years ago. Nothing groundbreaking but a decent little game.

Same, played through it on Steam and while it has some neat visual designs the game proper didn't resonate as much with me as Technobabylon did.

Just out of curiosity: Why would you compare it to Technobabylon? Gameplay is very different, graphical style is different, one is a horror story and the other one is sci-fi... As far as I can tell, there's very little overlap. It's like comparing Dirt Rally to SuperTuxKart.

They're both side-scrolling adventure games, aren't they? It's like comparing it to I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream or Quest For Glory. (To be honest it's been a while since I played through Whispering Willows, so I may be misremembering. According to Steam I got the Sixth Sense on February 12th, 2020.)

No. Technobabylon, IHNMaIMS and Quest For Glory are not side scrollers, even if some of the "locations" pan a bit. You control the characters with your mouse, with the gameplay revolving around inventory and dialogue based puzzles. Well, Quest For Glory (Hero's Quest) is a bit different with its RPG elements and the original's text parser and clunky keyboard controls. The early 90's remake has a more modern point-and-click interface and prettier VGA graphics.
Whispering Willows is closer to a puzzle platformer. Just check some gameplay video of all of these games and I'm sure you'll see the difference.
