I miss puzzle adventurer's like Myst, the 7th Hour and the 11th Guest...though, I think the Witness will be kind of reviving that genre.

A new Myst-game is in the works: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyaninc/obduction

And have you already played the other Myst games? Riven, Exile, Uru, End of Ages. The "Masterpiece Edition" of "realMyst" (Windows + Mac + iOS) is also very good... much prettier than the old realMyst. "Outcry: The Dawn" also is very Myst-like.

The 7th Guest and 11th Hour were mainly puzzle games with a story arc and trashy video sequences. If you want good puzzle games connected by a nice story: all Professor Layton games (DS + 3DS) and Jacob Jones (PS Vita + iOS). If it's a funny story and trash FMVs: Tex Murphy - Tesla Effect.

"The 7th Guest 3: The Collector" is already planned, but they failed twice trying to crowdfund it.

Glad to hear Myst is making a comeback, a very entertaining and challenging game (at least when I was in my early teens lol, same with the 7th Guest/11th Hour.  Yeah, they had some trashy video sequences, but the story arc was pretty good, especially the overwhelming frustration of having a creepy disembodied voice making fun of all your failures haha.

But yeah, I've played the rest of the Myst games, haven't played Prof Layton, Jacob Jones or Tex Murphy...will have to check those out.  Appreciate the heads up :)
