I wanna play Myst again.

I was thinking of Riven the other night, I'm surprised that they haven't been turned into browser-based games. Apparently the 3d assets of Riven were lost, which is a huge shame. The game was beautiful.

We see posts here from time to time about games being reversed/disassembled and then made available for other platforms. I wonder if we drop hints to those with the appropriate skill sets…

Was Myst the first game of this style, or was it just the first game that I became familiar with it?

Reminds me deeply of the King's Quest series.

If you're having as much trouble as I was figuring out what the heck this project is, it's a series of YouTube videos depicting stories about The Woods where the music and animatics are done by the same guy. Dunno why they didn't just post the content: https://youtu.be/JxEAaeiyuZo?si=AGP_nx6I8Td5mFF9 The art is excellent, the music is good, but it's kind of let down by the narration.

I much rather watch the video embedded in it's intended home rather than surrounded by lady gaga thumbnails or whatever.

I really enjoyed it, and hope the other 'books' get made - it's impressive for mostly just one guy - almost a full movie and very polished.

I feel like I've explored thoroughly, and I don't have any more white "To Visit" dots on the map, but the menu still says "14/17" next to explore, and I haven't found the third bestiary entry. Does anyone know what (if anything) I might be missing? Or is it incomplete?
