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

Oh yeah, this one looks very cool indeed!

Well, haven't played that one, but as far as I know, 95% of its puzzles are the drawing-on-boards thing, no?

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.

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