Wut? O_O

Check your PM ;)

Got it. :) Thanks gog! Can we get 3 to 5 now maybe? :D

I'd like to point people out to http://mystonline.com.
It's the online game Uru Live, its free, donation run servers and active though I doubt you'll feel crowded. It's now open source so it is be possible for players to create new ages in other words write new books even though I don't know much about that myself. Long time since I checked it out myself.

Interesting game i bought it as i liked myst. It does have a lonely feel to it traveling the large ares by yourself.

Sometimes it is a gmae just to exoplore strange places and enjoy the atmosphere.

Will pass on this one.

Kind of interested in this one, but would need to finish couple of the games I've bought here last weeks first.

I already have Uru minus expansions, and my German edition already has the English language version on the CD, so I was umming and ahhing about whether it was worth getting this or not. I wasn't entirely sure whether the expansion packs were worth it.

After reading about how The Path of the Shell was about as big as the core game itself and completely new, I decided to buy it after all. After all PotS and To D'Ni together would have set me back 10 euros on CD.

YES!! Thank you GOG, I love you and want to have your babies.

Is this DOSBOX'd? If not I might buy it. Only asking because the specs seem to be the generic specs GOG posts for DOSBOX'd games. and I didn't think it was.

Looks sweet, but gotta wishlist it for now.

It's not hard to defiine at all, it's an adventure based on lonely exploration. If you mean stats and such then there's no character customization, you do get a small degree of customization in terms of looks of your Avatar but that's purely cosmetic. You also get some degree of customization of the place that becomes 'your place'.

Regarding the story, there's more story than you can handle, i guarantee, but for the most part you'll be alone exploring the remnants of a fallen civilization on your own, so you'll have to get to the story through observation and exploration, theres' no one holding your hand, you have to figure things out on your own, no nudges, no hints, no crutches, just you.

Edit: about the 'more story that you can handle' comment above, i'm not sure how that gets acrosss but what i mean is, at times you'll likely feel a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff you've already figured out and all the stuff that you haven't figured out yet, just don't get too anxious about it and you'll do fine ;)

It's posssible to enjoy URU without knowing anything about the other games, even because the timeline of URU it's set apart from Myst/Riven/Exile/Revelations. The Myst/URU world as a whole is incredidbly intricate and has a huge scope, so yes, there is stuff you won't notice and connections you won't make, but nothing deterimental to progression in the game, nothing deterimental to your enjoyment of URU either.

There's no automap feature, but then you don't really need a map. For the cavern, which is the biggest area you'll come across, there's a map that you can look at in the game world left by previous explorers that does a good job of letting you know where you are. You can take a picture of it with a device you'll also find in the game world and that way you carry the map around with you, but you'll be taking notes on paper and you'll probably end up doing some rudimenatry sketches and whatnot, so bottomline is, don't worry about a map.

It's a 'real' world you'll be exploring where everything has meaning. Decorations on walls, decorations on floors, numbers, patterns, colors, time cycles, words, books, paths, names, vitrals, everything means something unlike every other game where those are eye candy or filler for the most part.

No, it's not a DosBox game.

I've never played this or Myst, not sure if I want to pull the trigger on it with there still being three days left for more gems.

I'm really on the fence about this one. I love Myst and Riven and have played a little bit of the free online version. Are there enough differences between this and the free version to make it worth the plunge?

i don't own it
it's on my wishlist
