If you are a fan of the Myst series, then this will certainly have your mouth watering! This game immerses you in its world, and the puzzles in the game can have you pulling your hair out, but at the same time have you in awe at their design! I would highly recommend this game!… Expand

What Obduction should have been! This captures the tone, the atmosphere, and the spirit of the Myst genre to a tee. A living, believable world where the puzzles are more a part of the world's function than mere gameplay elements. Clever, ingenious puzzle and environment design, coupled with incredible audio direction, and an enthralling story really does make for an adventure any Myst fan would be remiss to miss out on.… Expand

   A gem of game! The true spiritual successor to Myst. Nominally, Obduction should carry that title as the original Myst creators were involvedA gem of game! The true spiritual successor to Myst. Nominally, Obduction should carry that title as the original Myst creators were involved with Obduction. However, with all due respect to Obduction, the latter feels unfinished and leaves one feeling somewhat empty.
   
   Quern - Undying Thoughs on the other hand is full of charm and draws the player into the world in a similar way to Myst and Riven. Graphics, ambient sounds and musical score are all wonderful.
   
   I fully enjoyed playing Quern and would love to see a successor from the same team.
   
   The only two points of criticism I have are:
   1. The story is a bit thin. Essentially the vast majority of it unfolds very quickly and there is only a small further point of interest added further down the road. The world building in terms of the story could have been significantly richer, but having said that the ending and informing the player of their choices works so much better than that of Obduction.
   
   2. Some of the puzzles feel like artificial hurdles. I'm exaggerating a bit but imagine a road which you cannot follow anymore unless you solve a Rubik's cube. In Quern's story, it somewhat makes sense for the player to encounter such artificial puzzles, but I would have much preferred if all puzzles had been organically integrated into the environment and story. This is where Riven excelled and Quern didn't feel as strong as in its other aspects.
   
   BTW, I loved the notebook which allowed me to attach my own written notes to snapshots of scenes/objects. The automatically expanding/developing map with both player position and orientation indication was also much appreciated. In the past, I drew those maps with pencil and paper and that was part of the fun, but I feel nothing gets lost with a game supported map that doesn't show areas one hasn't explored yet.
   
   Overall, a 100% recommendation from me and congratulations to the developers for this beautiful result.… Expand
