Dimhaven (another first person puzzle game set on an island) released today.

It's from the same makers of Quern, another Myst-like. I've played the first hour and it's great so far. I would like to clarify that even though I am a game dev I have no stake in the game's success, I'm posting as a fan.

It won't be for everyone here as its a very different style and atmosphere to the Myst narrative but it is an isolated island with fun puzzles on it and some kind of central mystery. I know there are definitely some people (like me) that consider that one of the main appeals of the Myst games.

The more people making high quality games that become successes in this genre, the more likely it is that we get more. Hope you'll check it out.

I'm the designer of The Roottrees are Dead. Today we announced that our next mystery/deduction game releases on July 14.

Here's a trailer for The Incident at Galley House: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTDcP5s5gGQ

I first found success almost entirely on the back of the Obra Dinn and puzzle subreddit communities, so its always a huge pleasure to come back here and show people what we're working on next. Without you guys I wouldn't be able to work on projects like this full time.

I'll keep this post somewhat light on details because I'm sure I'll probably announce the game's release when it comes out (if nobody beats me to it.) But I can say that if the setting and characters seem familiar, this game is a re-imagining of a different game called Type Help.

Type Help is almost entirely text based, presented through the interface of an old computer. We've not only tried to make it come to life through audio but also add a new framing device involving technology that requires being in Galley House itself, as well as some other surprises that we really think people will enjoy.

Thanks again to everyone here, and if you have any questions that I can answer without spoiling things, let me know.
