![]() It may not draw you in with a strong story, but it?s got its own share of logical and fair puzzles that will satisfy old-school adventure fans. If you enjoy high-caliber Myst-style games like Jewels of the Oracle or Morpheus, give Dive a try. The original game came on 4 CD-ROMs, all packed with nice cinematics (which naturally have to be cut in this CD-rip version to save space) and eye-candy graphics. ‘Quern’ is a graphic adventure video game released in the year 2016 for Windows PC, macOS, Linux and Oculus Rift devices by Zadbox Entertainment. With a good variety of puzzles and longer-than-average gameplay that you?ll need more than a few hours to solve, Dive is definitely well worth a look. This means trudging back and forth between locations can get annoying after a while. Unfortunately like most Myst games that fill up CD-ROM space with pretty-but-non-interactive graphics, Dive has its own share of static screens that you cannot interact with. 1 Quern Undying Thoughts Quern Undying Thoughts, the only game on this list not developed by Cyan Worlds, comes the closest to emulating Myst. There are even some combat sequences thrown in (where you will need to kill some robots), but they are there mostly just to break the leisurely pace of your exploration. ![]() Puzzles are quite interesting in general and some even quite clever, and in contrast to certain puzzles in Black Dahlia, no puzzle is overly frustrating. Just like Myst, Quern - Undying Thoughts starts with stumbling onto an abandoned island full of lore, puzzles, and gorgeous scenery. There?s a good mix of tradition puzzles (that require you to use items from your inventory), and board/logic puzzles similar to 7th Guest or Myst. The puzzles are the best thing about Dive. ![]() The plot is clich้ and minimal ? just enough to get you started on your quest for undersea treasure. One of the most obscure adventure games ever made, Dive: The Conquest of Silver Eye is a pretty decent first-person Myst-lookalike adventure game with some interesting puzzles.Īlthough the game offers the same dead silent, unpopulated-but-pretty-to-look-at gameworld as Myst (it even says ?graphics compare with Myst? on the box!), the puzzles in Dive are integrated better into the storyline and you actually have an inventory, so that the game feels much less like a big logic puzzle-solving contest than an actual treasure-hunting quest.
