I still haven't played any of the Myst games (despite having most of them by way of a Humble Bundle), but I did very much enjoy this Myst-like with native Linux support:

Best monthly bundle for me in a while; it's been rather hit and miss lately.

Quoting: neon_soaked_chryssalidIt is a narrative game, so you're watching cutscenes and making choices through a lot of it. There are segments where you walk around and perform various tasks as well as some combat sections, but the combat isn't the main focus or strong point of the game. The story was pretty decent

So, just like most of the games that were made by the TellTale folks. :-D

Quoting: ChrisznixHow do they handle the sound? Can you say which audio source they record or is it the main audio sink (on the desktop)?
Quoting: ToddLNow, if Steam's screen recording implementation can do something like the PS5, where it'll record a video of an achievement that you earned in the game, then it'll be a nice touch to what they have right now.

A lot of these questions are answered on their new page about it:

Quoting: Vortex_AcheronticAlso I need to admit Cosmic looks to me very similar to Gnome

That was definitely my thought, seeing the screenshot.
