I like this. It takes Myst-style games into account (which the first two options didn't really do).

If I understand it correctly, then examples of games are:
A) Professor Layton games (other examples?)
B) LucasArts / Sierra type of adventures
C) Myst-like games

All my points about the objective are actually rather moot with regards to games Ã* la Myst where exploration is everything. I was mainly referring to games where there's a specific storyline to be followed, and that doesn't necessarily apply to Myst-games where an objective would just be "explore and enjoy".
