    Great game! Completely Myst-like, maybe not quite as atmospheric, but still excellent all the same. Runs fine on my low-power work laptop with Iris XE graphics. 6.5/7 would recommend.

    Quern is exactly the kind of game I love: pure, well-designed puzzles that challenge your logical reasoning and give you that satisfying feeling of being a genius when you finally crack them. The puzzles follow a natural progression, constantly introducing new ideas and never feeling repetitive. Every single one is clever and enjoyable to solve. The story takes a backseat to the gameplay, but I found it well-written…

    Not the Myst You're looking for Quern Undying Thoughts is a Myst like game, meaning that you are here to solve puzzles. The setting is even very similar, taking place on an insular island that is cut off from the rest of the world, and the story has similar beats with differing ideologies surrounding the powers this island has. Unfortunately, I found a large portion of the puzzles in this game to be more tedious…
