These are my favorite genre for some reason. My favorites are Black Dahlia and Byzantine the Betrayal. Barrow Hill was also great. Does /vr/ also love this kind of game? Any recommendations?
1st person point n click games

Riven is the GOAT
I'm not into 3D graphics but I like the 2D ones like Shadowgate
Loved Shadowgate and Deja Vu 1 and 2.
>Shadowgate
I can still hear the music for that game in my head when I look at these pictures
That, and the sound of the room transition
Saturn had a few in the same vein I played a lot of:
D
Enemy Zero
Mansion of Hidden Souls
Cyberia
There was also Torico and Atlantis but I haven't picked those up yet.
Cryo made amazing first person point & click, especially the first two Atlantis games. Faust was nice, too.
>Torico
It's amazing.
>cyberflix game
Oh hell no. They made only two games and they were a disaster.
Besides Myst and Riven I loved playing Amber: Journeys Beyond and Lighthouse: The Dark Being. They weren't the best games in the genre but they had a lot of atmosphere and sovl.
The Law and Order ones lol
I remember playing those, they were actually pretty comfy.
You need to check out The Journeyman Project games
cheese girl![/spoiler!
For some reason the idea of 1st person point n click bores me, but I absolutely loved The Last Express, you should play it
I like it but the timed nature of some of the puzzles makes me nervous, and the point of point n click adventures is being immersed in a cozy way, to me
Looks interesting, tell us more
Last Express takes a bit of getting used to, but once it clicks it's great. The thing is the puzzles aren't really directed towards you as the main character, but towards you as the player, since you can rewind time.
In other adventure games, puzzles are mostly about figuring out what items to use with what. And although Last Express has some of that too, it's also about just figuring out where to be and at what time. So to solve the game you basically have to map out where people are and what they're doing at different times during the game through rewinding, replaying and keeping notes, which actually is great autistic fun, but it's something the MC couldn't do. So in a sense it requires you to break the immersion and dissociate from the MC to be able to complete the game. And I can understand if not everyone likes that. It's similar to Mechner's Prince of Persia in that sense, since it isn't really possible to complete it on the first try.
no one played this game but me
what game anon i'll try to find a copy and add it into rotation
It's a Myst-spinoff called Uru. The complete offline version is called Uru: Complete Chronicles but you can play the online version for free (hosted by fans with the devs' endorsement), it's called Myst Online: Uru Live Again.
Isn't Uru 3rd person?
It is intended to be played in 3rd person, but you can toggle 1st person view at any time by hitting F1.
I played Dracula and Dracula 2 as a kid, but never managed to finish either. Are those even considered good?
It's pretty mediocre and very short. With the same engine they made Necronomicon (terrible), and Amerzone (actually good, but also very short, same creator as Syberia).
I really like them, but be sure to not buy the Steam version which is a port of an iphone port which cuts a lot of content and adds an ugly UI.
The games themselves are cheesy but charming. In other words, soulful
Lost Eden and The Day the World Broke
This is going to out me as a homosexual but I love watching other people play these games but get bored trying to play them myself. It probably has something to do with being a little kid and watching my dad play though all kinds of weird games on his PC
You're a homosexual but you're ok. You can hang out with us
Had a lot of fun with this back in the day
