I've had this puzzle on my phone for years. Every few months I'd glance at it and try and solve it. Last night, as I was eating dinner, I finally figured out the answer!

Ever play the game Myst? As a kid that’s exactly how it was. Days of banging my head and then a rush of finally figuring something out. Really miss that

Loved that game and every game in that series. Part of the fun was being dropped into this world with no clues and just having to feel your way around.

I admit that I surrendered after a while and got a walkthrough, which was followed by several hours of, “Oh for fucks sake I could have figured that out!”

Every once in a while I definitely needed the walkthrough too. I hear blue price hits the same feeling. My wife and I just need to find time to dive into it together

Did you ever read the tie-in novels?

I have, I picked up the Myst Reader which collects all three from a used book sale a while back. I remember them being a fun read. Nothing mind blowing but a fun jaunt through more Myst

I was more of a Return to Zork kid. I’d work my way up to each character, and then kill that character to see their death scene. Then I’d start over and work my way to the next. I got all the way to the vulture at the cave, and stopped playing because I was told there were no more people to murder after that.

I always got eaten by the grue sadly.

Take a look on tunic, but it comes with some combat action, which may not be what you are looking for.

You can turn that down and I highly recommend doing so.

I found the combat to be quite obnoxious.

I’ve looked at Tunic before but it always looked more like Zelda to me. I dunno why but I’ve always bounced off Zelda.

I don’t like Zelda games myself but loved tunic. The puzzles are completely different than Zelda, much more interesting. The other commenter mentioned you can tone the combat down. Maybe worth a try if it is on sale.

I recommend Outer Wilds then.

Go in as blind as possible. They recommend a controller over mouse and keyboard and they mean it. The DLC is just as good as the base game, but I’d tackle it after doing the main objective.

Outer Wilds or Outer Worlds because I’ve heard good things about both but know nothing about either.

I have played Chants of Zenaar some which also hits the feeling.

Outer wilds.

Outer Worlds is just a fairly mediocre sci-fi RPG (IMHO).

Outer Wilds.

I think The Outer Worlds was just an RPG.

Wilds is a mystery game of aha moments.
