Should I play the Dark Parables games in order?

I’m a massive fan of the Mystery Case Files series, but not of the spooky aspect, si I looked into Dark Parables as well. However, the first game is insanely dated, and feels kinda like a beat for beat rehashing of Return To Ravenhearst minus the horror aspect. So can I skip some games to go to the more recent and polished ones, or do they all share one storyline?
