[iPad][2015–2017 or earlier] First-person puzzle/logic game where a man explores a strange underground place
[
Hi! I’m trying to find an iPad game I played at school sometime between 2015 and 2017. The game itself may be older.
I posted about this game before, but I think I described it the wrong way. I previously focused too much on hidden-object and point-and-click games. I’m no longer sure it belonged to those genres.
What I remember is a game focused on exploration, observation, logic and puzzles. Sometimes you had to find something or solve a puzzle in order to unlock or access another place. I’m not even completely sure there was a traditional inventory system.
Here are my strongest memories:
• The game was probably in first person.
• The protagonist was an adult man. At some moments I remember seeing his arms or hands. I think his arms may have been bare, possibly because he was wearing something sleeveless, but I’m not 100% sure.
• At the beginning, or very early in the game, the protagonist was in a very dark underground place. I remember rock and wooden supports. For years I thought it was an old mine, possibly a coal or salt mine, but I now realize it could have been another kind of underground structure, tunnel system, ruins or old underground complex.
• I may remember rails, but I’m not certain enough to use this as a definite clue.
• One very specific scene I remember: the protagonist is holding onto metal bars and looking through them. It is raining outside. Two people are talking, and I remember an old car nearby.
• At another point, there are abandoned interiors with an “urbex” feeling. I remember an old, dusty room with a wooden floor. Pale light was coming through a window, almost like moonlight. There was also another room or area that reminded me of an attic, although I don’t think it actually was an attic.
• One of my strongest memories is a huge space, possibly underground. There was a bridge or walkway with a void below it, leading toward a massive wall and a very large, monumental-looking door.
The game was installed on our school iPads. Our teacher usually chose games that involved observation, reasoning and logic. Other games available to us included The Lost City, The Hidden World and Enigmatis. I’m mentioning these only for context — the game I’m looking for may be from a completely different genre or developer.
I’m certain that I’m remembering one game, not a mixture of several games.
I have already checked many common hidden-object adventure games and several suggestions from my previous posts, so suggestions outside the hidden-object genre are especially welcome.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been trying to find this game for years.
