Quern: Undying Thoughts (2016) PC

Quern: Undying Thoughts is a first—person adventure game with puzzle elements, which is the debut work of the independent studio Zadbox Entertainment.

Description

We won't see an extensive introductory video in the game that will explain the general assumptions of the scenario. Instead, we will immediately land on a mysterious island, and individual threads of a not very interesting story will be revealed by reading a letter left by a man named William – the only person we will hear during the game. It is also worth noting that the main character is completely mute, and the authors did not give him any name. Some consider this an advantage, because such a solution will allow them to better empathize with the main character.

Gameplay

A large number of attractive puzzles have been used. Wherever we go, they will be found everywhere. Then some mechanism does not work, then you cannot open the door or you need to put the object in another place, etc. Fortunately, the tasks here are extremely logical and will not make you lose a lot of time when performing. However, you should look for clues hidden in the notes, or in the surrounding objects, because nothing is accidentally placed in the game world.

The campaign is designed so that the player understands that the game is relatively linear, but the creators still gave the process a certain freedom. There are always several puzzles that unlock new sections of the island or rooms, where, of course, the following puzzles are waiting for us. However, you never know for sure what to do in specific situations.
