    I loved that game. Might be interesting to try again. Man, Myst seemed so revolutionary at the time and I sure loved the concept of there being no instructions, you’re just plunked down in a world and figure out that there’s stuff going on.

      Honestly, it looks great. I think it has retained some of its original charms, visually.

      I was only marginally aware they were working on a remake, and I just learned it will be available for VR. Apart from art/media crossovers in exhibits, I have not touched VR, nor did I have any desire to, but I can see it working for something like Riven. Maybe I’ll try that.

    There seem to be some changes / additions to the original game? For example I don’t remember the house/dome thing on the giant tree stump (~30s) or the tree (at the end of the trailer).

        If that was in the original game (which I did play it a couple of times) I absolutely don’t remember it.

        You’re right of course about the limits of the point and click and forced view nature of the game. A lot is hidden / cannot be explored as thoroughly.

        It looks pretty right to me. I’ll probably pick it up (after already having the original and the steam version).
