Right from the get go things feel a little off. The main menu looks like it was quickly thrown together at the last minute. Interacting with objects in the world sometimes make a sound, and then with some objects, it suddenly doesn't. Most of the puzzles involve classic machine puzzles that start in a non-working configuration that you have to fix, but almost all of these you can just solve on the spot, no knowledge of the world is really required. You only need to acquire the abilities for the tool machine on your arm. I ran into multiple issues, both bugs with puzzles, and bugs that allow you to easily mess up the loading state of parts of the levels, allowing you to fall out of the level if you're not careful. Supposedly there's also narration from a voice that presents itself in the form of a particle, but I only saw it once at the start of the game, after that, there was no narration to speak of. There was a book in the starting area, but when you flip the pages the text becomes all blurry for half a second thanks to the temporal restoration techniques that were used. On the bright side, the interiors look very nice in certain places. I don't recommend the game, it feels like it was rushed out when it needed more time in the tank. It's a shame because I do remember enjoying playing Obduction, and of course the older games in the Myst series.
