As I said earlier in this thread, Obduction is probably what you're looking for if you want something like Myst. Here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/306760

Don't listen to all the harsh comments.

DE is one of the finest examples of what you can achieve with games when you re move the classic tropes that were inherited by the 80's and 90's, when audiovisual production was at an "under frogs ass" level.

There are no puzzles in the game and it is as linear as it gets, but if you like the genre, DE is a must. The soundtrack and puzzle-like story opens up in front of you a tragic tale of an everyday life that reached the brink of its own existence, and all the small (and on a universal scale insignificant memories) that it takes with it .

A true masterpiece, and a real indie benchmark.

I do understand some of the comments since I just came across the game.  But at a glance, it looks surreal and a work of art.  So it seem up my alley thus far.

The comments would be OK if The Chinese Room would have promised us a complex 3D puzzle game with tens of hours of gameplay. People forged their own expectations based on screenshots and got disappointed. Thats the same like watching a Lars von Trier movie and complaining that it didnt have enough explosions. You are right. DE is a piece of art, and if you can see trough that, get ready for a blast

Lol it doesn't have any puzzles. Except maybe solving the puzzle of why you paid for it.

Also, these are the scum bags who used their company twitter account to call CD-Projekt sexist simply for having a an attractive woman on a piece of artwork.

Don't give money to assholes

Maybe I should wait for a flash sale.  We'll see.

Of course. Why not dismiss the work of a dedicated group of people simply because one person from that group seems a bit cuntish? What and iron logic you have there.

This is the reason I never trust user scores.

Yes, but you are also on a mysterious island that shows its secrets slowly while you solve it's puzzles. It has the mystery, the sense of wonder and puzzles, is the kind of game that a Myst fan could love.

Eh. I think I'll just link my Steam review here. I wrote it just after finishing the game, and I don't think I could sum up my feelings about the game better than that.

td;dr: It's a good experience but probably not worth buying. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Oh yeah, this one looks very cool indeed!

Well, yeah, in that sense it does have a Myst vibe.
