March 2025

I'd get it on sale, for reasons that'll be explained in the cons, but I do recommend it. Pros: - Fantastic art direction. This was a passion project and love letter to Cyan, and it nailed that feeling. The atmosphere, lighting, architecture, all captures Cyan very well. - Incredible score. The music for this game is amazing. It's only used in certain areas to add to the effect of it, and I think it's used VERY well. It's brimming with emotion and impact. - Mostly well-designed puzzles. These puzzles do require some thinking. But it's very rewarding as you explore and find items for previously visited areas to progress. Cons: - Too much back-tracking. You will be back-tracking a LOT. It especially gets annoying when it comes to having to run to all the teleporters, or wait forever for the airship to take off or land. - Too light on narrative. There are moments of interesting lore about the moon and planet when you find pages. But there's not a lot of pages to find. There's a mystery about the ocean with the lights and sounds that doesn't seem to get addressed? - Some puzzles are WAY too unclear. I needed a guide three times. (Spoilers for some puzzles in this part) For example, I can't take the airship from the base to the house, but I CAN take it from the lab. WHY? Or how I need to find a hidden key hole by walking around after changing the valve, and listen for air leaks. That's way too subtle! In conclusion, it's a short game (when you're not stuck on the the unclear puzzles causing too much back-tracking), but very nicely paced, and compact with lots of love and passion. Great for Cyan fans, both old and new alike.

Given that this game was made by a single person over a span of 20 years, it is very impressive. The game was released in 2016 and I played this in 2025. It is showing its age in terms of graphics, but it's fine. There are no profiles or multiple save features. I presume if you quit the game it will return you to your last checkpoint, but I played this in one sitting so cannot be sure. Frustratingly, there are no options for autorun or toggling music. Audio queues are helpful in the game and I would have preferred to turn off the music which certainly became repetitive, even though it changes with locations. The puzzles weren't super hard, but not so easy as to be trivial. The most challenging part of the game was finding a few things, which I did not enjoy. Finding the key, then finding where to put the key took me longer than I cared for, mainly because I didn't know I was looking for a key as I had not found the key hole either. It was a bit of a frustrating dead end where I was simply searching everywhere for what to do next. There is no hint system. All up the game took me 3.5 hours, which I imagine is par for the course. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the puzzles, despite that one hiccup. Keeping all of this in mind, the game is only $17.75 (Australian Dollars) so it is really a bargain if you want something in the style of Myst. I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea and some Myst fans are likely to not enjoy this, but I think the majority of people that are into the Myst style of puzzles would.

Not bad for a short, simple game. Definitely for fans of the MYST series. Takes about 3 hours to complete, though partly because you walk around quite slowly. Thankfully the maps aren't very big. Unfortunately, some of the puzzles require you to trek back and forth quite a bit. Fantastic set design and visuals, and an enjoyable plot/story. This game definitely requires a keen eye an/or patience, or perhaps the use of a walkthrough at times! haha. Overall 7/10.

July 2024

A loving homage to the Myst games. It is, however, very short, and anyone familiar with the Myst franchise will probably be able to complete it in a couple of hours. There are hints of a larger, complex plot that we never get to see (a potential sequel hook perhaps?), some of the world is very underutilised (really the lab island didn't need to exist/could have been merged with one of the others), and some of the puzzles only make sense in retrospect... but it's a nice little game, and impressive given that it's the work of only one person (plus another person for sound). TLDR: If you like the Myst games then you'll probably like this, but it's very short.

April 2024

Very good Myst style game and a great accomplishment for a game made by only one man. Both the graphics and the puzzles are high standards. One downside of the game is the amount of puzzles. The game needs more puzzles. Playing this game left me hungry for more.
