@ChinchillaDave You are just the type of person I was hoping to reach with this playthrough! While it definitely wasn't the most purist playthrough and I had to cheat to get unstuck, I really enjoyed the game. I can see how great (and difficult) it must have been when it was originally released. I love this kind of game, and Cyan did an incredible job with this remake. In case you didn't know about it already, Outer Wilds is a similar game, and it is incredibly good. Highly recommend it to you or anyone else who wants a similar experience with a lot of love behind it.
As someone who played Myst and Riven when they first came out, seeing it through your eyes has been enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your experience!
