Bloody hell, you fished out this memory from the abyss of my mind. I remember it. I was 8. All I wanted was to see those two sea mammals waddle once again in their little creek. Instead, I was granted impossible puzzles.

Did you ever finish it? If not the conclusion of the game was pretty satisfying, and nothing is spoiled by being told about the door thing. It’s actually more memorable for me than the following ones, maybe because I spent so long wandering around in despair. I actually tried replaying it a little while ago but just bounced off the extremely clunky 90s design and the technical limitations. I think this remake will be a good chance to try again, and see the environments rendered nicely.

Yup, if you’ve played Obduction it’s like that. Full 3d environments made with modern rendering. I tried the latest Myst remake and this one feels like a modern game, although I imagine most of the early 90s design foibles are still there.

I haven’t played many of the other remakes of the original, there have probably been too many, but it’s nice to see the later games getting this treatment.

No, I remember being stuck in a deep crater with turquoise water and a pumping station of sorts. I should really play it again !

There we go, I reinstalled it !

Haha awesome, it will probably be easier than at 8 lol. I got stuck in my early 20s (long after the game came out, I’m not quite that old).
