Too late. I was playing it on my desktop system before it got to hot to sit at a desk when it is not mandatory. I've got to move it to the SteamDeck…

The Abandoned Planet is a Myst-like classic pixel-art adventure out now

That's wrong. I enjoyed Quern very much.

And they are re-doing Myst every few years. And they've started to do the same with Riven (2024).

Why? What about Quern? And Obduction? What is a Myst-like?
Spoiler, click me
Does it have to have the exact same puzzles? Is that why Cyan keep remaking all their games all time?

It's not about the perspective. It's about the puzzles.

I wasn't impressed with the puzzles in Myst.

Of course there are many 3rd person point and click adventures with mediocre puzzles like Runaway 2. I recently finished re-playing the game after about 10 years. I started sometime last year and got annoyed by the tediousness several times so I took a very long time. So many things stat span a huge amount of screens with animated doors and other time wasters that are (mostly) unskippable.

It looks good, but I'm concerned about the Riven/Myst inspired line. I'd prefer something inspired by Fate of Atlantis or Day of the Tentacle.

There are n distributions. That's too many; the market is splintered. Let's start a new one. There are n+1 distributions.

On the other hand he makes it very clear that it is outdated and everyone should switch to their modern fork. So yeah…
