Dig
<del>
Actually I withdraw my vote after getting some more info about the game. From what I figured, it’s that sort of “interactive tour” where you have to click through hundreds of non-interactive still photos, not really in the mood of playing these sort of games.
Your call obviously, but I was worried about the same thing at first and was very pleased to find it to be an actual game rather than just “google streetview: the game”.
There is a proper story, puzzles (some of which are hard and very involved) and it doesn’t feel like just a tourist promo for the region.
Having said that it is FMV and the backgrounds are essentially 360° photos you can pan around, so if that’s your concern better to leave it.

Lots of good options on games I actually own.

The Journey Down
Yoormujak’s Ring
The Shapeshifting Detective

Currently Playing: Dragon Age Origins: Awakening
Recently Played: Red Embrace: Hollywood, Dorfromantik, Heirs & Graces, AI: The Somnium Files, PRICE, Frostpunk, The Shapeshifting Detective (CPT), Disco Elysium, Dream Daddy, Four Last Things, Jenny LeClue - Detectivu, The Signifier

Well, yes, I don’t mean “interactive tour” in a way that all you are doing in the game is walking and talking. I played (I think) a similar game - Anacapri, and puzzles were pretty good in it. It’s just that clicking through countless photos doesn’t feel like a proper gameplay to me. I don’t even like Gabriel Knight 2 much for that reason. Now in Spycraft you spend most of the time playing with various programmes on your devices, and the game holds up really well despite being a pure FMV fest.

LK, may we add the ending-vote-date to these “score” posts, it will be easier for me to keep track of the voting process more ..clearly ..ideally? , please 
Two of the leading games are currently leaderless. Could make for an interesting final few days.
For whom the games toll,
they toll for thee.

If you go back 2 pages, you’ll find the date written in bold blue letters in post #271.

i dont wanna go back, i would likw see the last post containing the full collected results, and i believe some just passing by wouldn’t wanna take any apart, not seeing the last update of the current round and have to read the older posts

What Advie said. I don’t want to have to search through pages and it would be easy for Lady Kestrel to copy that specific info.

You’re right, it’s not “proper gameplay”. And that’s a strength. Sometimes I just want to be a tourist in real places from the comfort of my home, rather than be a gamer.
However, I can safely say that Yoomurjak’s Ring is not on the same level of “tourism simulator” as the Capri games are.
