Myst-a-likes?

Recommended Posts

Wait, how is Routine a Myst-like like? Aside from the first person perspective?

I'm not seeing the Rhem games on that list.

The list is copied from a post he did in another forum and those games were already mentioned in the thread.

actually I did mention rhem. couldn't leave that out even if it was already mentioned in the other forum :P

i just listed it as rhem 1-4 so you probably missed it

 

I'm not sure about Routine

Someone else suggested that to me

they could have been wrong about the genre

 

Anyways, another one I really suggest from that list is

Lightbringer: the next giant leap for mankind  aka Cydonia: Mars-The First Manned Mission

 

that game is just awesome hands down just because of the subject matter

hard as well

oh speaking of the rhem series

 

does anyone know if they improved/updated the graphics in rhem 1&2 in the rhem trilogy that you can buy on sites like gog and the adventure shop?

 

I would totally buy them again if they did :)

I remember liking it a lot at the time. I suspect that if I saw it now I would be really unimpressed though.

a brand new one on steam:

 

mind path to thalamus

 

it has high system requirements though.. i bought it and couldn't play it :(

you need at least a shader model 4.0 card to run it since it used the unreal engine.. the system requirements listed of steam are totally wrong. don't go by those.

oh and I finally played dear esther

 

though it was a pretty game

it was nothing even close to myst like

 

it didn't even have any puzzles at all

 

a walking simulator? really?

 

I did like the visuals though

 

kairo was pretty good though.

I liked that one. It actually had puzzles (easy ones) but I really liked the careful use of sound effects in the soundtrack

there's one song on there that plays in one of the orange rooms... it has a sound effect it in that sounds like someone dragging a sandstone block. it really gave the game the feel it needed. only complaint was that the game was too short.

 

@cyber found robot city and got it working

not too bad. though the hot spots are whack

might just be that I'm running it on a mac emulator

I saw a youtube "preview" of it. It is scary good-looking.

1st person puzzle adventures are going to be so friggen awesome in VR

 

we'll probably see a lot more start coming out when that gets released

since 3rd person adventure games won't work for that medium

 

good news since there are tons of 3rd person ones and very few first person

the Dracula series looks myst like or at least 1st person adventure

 

I'm not really into horror but I bought dracula 1&2 to try them out

there are 5 games in that series so hopefully they are decent

 

...

there's also montagues mount

 

also couldn't get this working on my computer but it looks really gloomy and mysterious

also horror but looks light-horror

Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting

 

I played this one over the weekend. it's a horror game

It was well done but I didn't like it much because I'm not a huge fan of horror and this one was grotesque.

If you are a fan of horror though, you will love this game.

lol yea I've been waiting for Xing for forever now

they must be putting their all into it because it's been quite a while

 

that and prominence... I'm starting to think that game will never get released :P

 

not sure if I mentioned this one already but:

 

.secrets of the luxor

 

sort of an egypt like one

 

also just picked this up on ebay for 5 bucks:

 

Majestic: Alien encounter part 1

 

and.... here's one that you may want to play:

 

Darkstar: the interactive movie (NOT darkstar one... different game)

it's a bit cheesy but you'll enjoy it

 

read this though even though it's a SPOILER

you will have to start the entire game over when you get to the end if you don't read this:

it's not too bad of a spoiler anyways

 

SPOILER WARNING:

 

DO NOT pick up the gun in one of the crew cabins. There are two guns. if you pick up the wrong one look forward to starting the entire game over. You can't just go pick up the other one. totally stupid.

 

other than that though... i really enjoyed that game

had to watch the ending on youtube though because I was not doing the whole thing over again
