Myst was an amazing and clever game, this one expects you to spend the first 2 hours purely collecting clues that you might not even know are clues yet. The clues are obtuse, requires you to repeatedly cross all over the island, and every new shortcut you gain just makes the entire map more confusing. Not to mention all the puzzles that requires you to find a tiny item or interact with a barely visible object.
This is a lot better than the League of Legends character
I think this game would have amazed me in 1997, but unfortunately it's 2026 and I can only describe it as tedious. The atmosphere and sound design are amazing, but the gameplay and puzzles get really grating about halfway through.
"i apologize for the cage"
An all time classic, lovingly and expertly made. Everyone should play this game
