    It's insane how many people don't know anything about Myst. Myst is the reason we started used discs for computer games, and the game that made mainstream culture start considering video games to be art. It is like more significant to video game history than any film was to film history.

    hill i will die on: not all 3D ages poorly. perceptions of an aesthetic change the older a game gets. i think the way Myst and Riven have aged is proof that 3D art can get better with age, especially as aesthetics lose context of the era a game is in.

    After hitting credits, confirming: this game HAS THE JUICE This is not "Obra Dinn" or "Outer Wilds" this is a stupidly clever discombobulation of the Myst/Riven-like. If you are not a Myst sicko, this is not for you! Few more thoughts:

    It's funny seeing people confused by a 1997 French Adventure game with Paulo Coelho & Moebius... We focus too much on GAMER stuff for millennials, so it's easy to miss how the 90s was full of Adventure games / Myst-likes made with TV channels, museums & famous authors to target then-adult audiences
