Cheesy story and some obscure puzzles

Wasn't a fan of this, although I did play through all of it. I have played some of Myst before and didn't like that either, so maybe this genre just isn't for me. I found the story and voice acting to be pretty cheesy, particularly Gamara's. There is a plot dump towards the end, too, which I never enjoy. Show me the story through the game world or in little pieces! Anyways, the puzzles. The range of difficulty here is pretty crazy in the order they are presented. Some are plain easy, and not really puzzles...more of click X thing a few times to get reward. There were some challenging puzzles that I enjoyed, but the vast majority of puzzles are deciphering notes by way of numbered / lettered tables and stuff like that. A select few puzzles build upon previous ones, but mostly you will be "relearning" how to do puzzles in each section, which I find tedious and annoying. I had to use a guide for some of the harder puzzles, but I mostly used the guide for things that looked way to annoying to spend time on. It could be that these types of games (Myst-likes?) aren't for me. The Witness might be one of my favorite games ever, though...I find it quite different from Myst and this game.

Brilliant game!

I love this kind of games, the Myst style game. We don't get often this kind of adventures, it's a shame. The devellopers did a very good job, beautiful graphics and sounds. The voices are well done as well, good atmosphere. This game is huge and I have to admit, some puzzles are hard, I needed some help from a walkthrough. But that's me, maybe you think it's easy and that's fine. We are all different.... are we? Again, if you like Obduction, Myst etc., buy it!

Amazing -- when's the sequel??

Just finished this game -- wow! Others are correct that it's very Myst-like, but that isn't a bad thing at all. The graphics, puzzles, environments, and especially SOUNDTRACK are top notch. Recommend!

Recommended!

If you like puzzle adventures in general (or Myst specifically), try Quern. It's one of the better games in the genre. Nice distinct world and art style, packed with puzzles, a story that unfolds nicely, many small surprises, and a good soundtrack. Biggest downside is that some specific puzzles are weak in the sense that their clues are too obscured, or that they require too many inventory objects. But overall, it's an experience I can easily recommend.

A bit on the easy side

This Myst-inspired game is well-made, enjoyable, but it's on the easy side. I'm a veteran of Myst games (and so are many who will play this game), and Quern posed very little challenge to me at all. All the tropes, the puzzle style and design are instantly recognizable to Myst players. This game is perhaps too much homage to Myst games and too few original ideas. Room rotation, check. Audio puzzle, check. Exotic runes of an alien civilization, check. Recipes for potions, locks and keys, and on and on. Quern's designers copied the style, but not the difficulty and innovativeness of the Myst games. Add a star if the lack of difficulty doesn't bother you.
