This Myst-clone won’t be for most, but those that are into the aesthetics and music will find it delightful. The game has the aesthetics of a Pure Moods compilation music cd commercial from the mid 90s. Features music by Enya’s sister. The game has almost no plot so the only reason to play it is for the art and music. The game is short and the puzzles aren’t difficult, but many may not finish it because the slow player movement speed makes the game feel like a chore. This game was released in Japan only but all the cutscenes are in English so readers will be able to play it.

A strange wee thing. Plays like Myst, has FMV cutscenes, and was only released in Japan despite most of it being in English.

There's something cosy about it that's hard to put my finger on. Warm cutscenes with a kind auld man describing these tomes, and puzzles that aren't really difficult make it not feel like a slog to navigate the island. Also helps that you could get through it in a few hours easily. I feel like the presentation does a lot of the lifting, which was enough to keep me interested throughout.
