Welcome to AG andii.
It sounds as if you are very particular in what you like. You may want to browse our
reviews page, but don't just pay attention to the scores (as some of the games that didn't work for you got high scores). Have a look to see what is said about the puzzles and story and what might appeal to you.
If you like non-linearity, you may like
Last Half of Darkness: Beyond the Spirit's Eye (that review is coming very soon) or the predecessors in the series. Also,
Barrow Hill may appeal to you as it offers the ability to do many things at once. Have you played any of the other Myst games? I'm a particular fan of
Myst: Exile. I hope that gives you a start.
