1st person puzzler just released today. I’m hoping this will be of the same high quality as other recent puzzlers like Quern and Xing.

A new adventure game like Myst, Riven and Obduction. You will find yourself trapped in a mysterious old castle and its surroundings. Explore, discover and solve puzzles in order to escape.

I’ve been keeping my eye on this one, looks pretty solid for a one man project. I’m also hoping it’s on par with Quern, Haven Moon, Catyph, etc. I’ll give it a week or 2 in case there are any bugs that need to be ironed out and to see what kind of reviews it gets.

Sadly, I’ve just tried it and it’s nowhere near those titles quality-wise. The movement is clunky with hold & drag needed to look around and no strafing, and the puzzles seem to be mostly unimaginative mini-games (noughts & crosses, word puzzles, etc) inserted into the map. No story either.

Maybe it improves as it goes on but for $20 I wasn’t willing to risk it and got a refund. That’s the same price as XING and almost as much as Quern, and whoever thought this game was worth paying that needs his mental health checked.
