When I picked up this game on a whim I had no idea what to expect. It turned out to be an incredibly difficult puzzle game with a strange bit of charm. While I never completed it, the CD still sits on my shelf (sadly, it does not play on modern computers.) One distinct memory... I learned the word "Quern" from this game.
My mom pulled this out of a bargain bin back in 2000, some of the puzzles didn't really make sense to me but I managed to finish the game. The ending was my first real "what the hell was that all about?" ending but it was definitely memorable.
My very first puzzle game on PC. A game that resisted me for many years, because at the time, I did not have access to the Internet, and no solution was available. This game with its captivating atmosphere has known 3 computers at home, because I installed it on each new PC to try to advance: it was 8 years after discovering it that I was finally able to reach the end by solving the last puzzle. I have an attachment to these moments of reflection, the music, the voice "There is nothing more that you can do" which still resonates in my head. At the time, the game was in French, and I hope that you can add it with French. A sequel (very originally called Jewels Of The Oracle 2) only exists in VO, enough to prolong the pleasure of the game if you also offer it. While most games feature combat, stressful moments and other opportunities to destroy virtual things, such rare puzzle games are real jewels that deserve to be preserved.
This really is one of those hidden gems (Pun intended)
Sure it's a collection of unrelated logic puzzles loosely woven around a theme but each of them just breaths so much atmosphere that makes this a rare treasure.

Resident Evil Code: VeronicaResident Evil Code: Veronica is the fourth video game in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series. The game continues the survival horror gameplay of its predecessors: the protagonist explores the surroundings, fighting monsters and solving puzzles. However, it is the first game in the series to do away with pre-rendered backgrounds using a fully polygonal 3D engine instead, which allows for features such as real-time lighting and camera movement. Still, such movements are only used sparingly, and the use of perspective is mostly unchanged from earlier installments: the camera automatically switches to different static angles showing protagonists, monsters and rooms from different spooky viewpoints.Action Horror Survival
