First person. Let's see…
There's SCream, the engine behind Scratches. Pipmak is an "open-source cross-platform game engine and authoring environment, the Pipmak Game Engine enables you to create point-and-click adventure games in the style of the Myst series, including panoramic ones like Myst III: Exile." Still at version 0.2.7, but interesting. And another one is Adventure Maker. I haven't used either of those, so I can't offer any opinions on them. In addition, if you're not going for 360 degree panoramic views, the engines made for third person games can also be used for first person games. (I know this to be true for Sludge, which I use, and strongly suspect it for Wintermute and AGS.)

AGS supports panoramas via the Panorama module. You can check out AGS first-person games such as Heartland Deluxe and Unbound to see what it can do.

I'm working on a "multiplayer interactive-fiction" toolkit. It isn't exactly targeted at point-and-click adventure games, but it can do them (and a whole lot more).
For more info see http://www.CircumReality.com . |

Also, AGS just added a 1024x768 mode in case the lack of hi-res options put you off...

I can't figure out how to get wintermute to work like that.
AGM is shareware, not freeware. |

Adventure game maker. It's shareware. AGS is freeware, but it does not do what I want, which is to make a first-person gmae like myst

Did you look at the examples I posted above? I'm curious as to what feature you're looking for that those games don't do and Myst does?

jfcwilson, there is a program that does Myst type 1st person games called Point and Click Development Kit. It's free and you can pick it up along with a tutorial on how to make Myst style games here's the address:

The Myst tutorial for P&C is excellent, I've done the whole tutorial myself twice. But I love the program itself. I hope you get some use out of it and good luck with your project.
