As a big fan of Myst, I have to say: I loved playing this! From the machinery animations to the sonic atmosphere, it's a very beautiful hommage to Myst!
Like the other person said, immaculate vibes! I had 2 problems; it was unclear what regions to click sometimes (clicking the papers or towards papers was weird), and I still have no idea how the lens puzzle works, I solved it by rolling through them randomly.
Other than that, great stuff, very immersive! Surprised that (spoilers) we don't die lol.
You mean the one with the two monitors and Greek letters for answers? [SPOILER] All five lenses are supposed to be centered right on the celestial object. One of them clearly isn't. But since you're always looking through two lenses at the same time, you need to see which TWO configurations show it out of place; the answer is the lens those two configs have in common.
Vibe nailed 100% (though the Mario Party reference took me out a bit XD). Really enjoyed that. Was "Carl" a reference to The 11th Hour perchance?
Thanks! I didn't intentionally put in a Mario Party reference, though - what was it? And Carl is more a reference to the character from Hijinx than anything else.
Sorry, meant Mario Kart, not Mario Party. Brainfart on my part there. (The monitor for the car puzzle mentions damage caused by blue shells.)
Oh, right! I completely forgot I put that in there... :D
