Gone Home vs Myst
Gone Home
Gone Home is a story-rich, point-and-click adventure game where you find your childhood home devoid of life after returning from a year abroad. The mystery of it all sets you off on an investigate mode as you examine clues and uncover what had happened to your family using what they have left behind. The storyline you'll gradually reveal is both heartwarming and incredibly relatable as it touches on a family's struggle with uncertainty, heartache and change.Being a point-and-click adventure, this game doesn't have any puzzles to challenge you or intruders who will attack you on sight. There isn't anything supernatural about the whole event so there's no need to fear looking behind your back or into a mirror. All you need to do is to find and collect clues, and eventually piece together the story of what had happened to your family while you were away.
This is definitely the sort of game that a fan of story-rich games would love. The entire game's premise is centered around its storyline and hence, it's as good as it gets.
Myst
Myst is one of the world's most highly-acclaimed puzzle-adventure game that's set on an island where every object can provide you a clue to revealing an ancient mystery. Filled with challenging puzzles that will give your brain a good workout, the game has astounding graphics for a game from its time, offering players the sort of realism and immersion they have never felt before.A classic and a timeless game, Myst has inspired a generation of gamers and gaem developers and is still influencing the development of some modern games. However, the Steam version of this game tends to be a bit crash-happy, making the game a real pain to play. You might want to try other versions of the game, like the one from GOG, instead.
