Hooray, finally finished Firmament by Cyan. It's a beautiful game with some really interactive puzzles using a game mechanic designed to allow VR players to easily interact with complicated devices. It is let down by some buggy clipping in areas (hence a built-in teleport function) and some occasional janky mechanics, but I enjoyed a lot of it. #Cyan #Firmament

I passed on #Riven for now, but I picked #Firmament and #Obduction instead (these games are now old enough for my laptop).

Firmament has that definite style of late #MYST (IV-V) - deserted worlds, huge machines, some background apocalypse story, and a bit cheap-looking because of reuse of some generated textures, but nevertheless epic.

Obduction is sort of more realistic, most of the game happens in the Earth-like part of the world. But then it has some mind-bending transportation mechanics.

For my gamer friends... I've been spending lots of time playing Firmament to get away from everything T*umpf... I can happily live in the Firmament worlds and appreciate their beauty and lack of conflict... #Firmament

Myst et Firmament ont droit au ray tracing sur les Mac M3 (et probablement M4) http://dlvr.it/TFvm44 #Myst #Firmament

The #Cyan #HumbleBundle is out today featuring the entire #Myst series and Myst remakes (including OG #Riven but not the new remake), #Obduction, #Firmament, and classic children's games for $20 minimum.

I have most of these already but I think I will pick this one up as I don't have Firmament or Myst 2021 for PC, and it's cheaper than either of those individually at full retail!

"Gefallener Stern": Kunst im U-Bahntunnel unterm Hauptbahnhof

Ursprünglich waren die Sterne und die blauen Glasscheiben 1991 unter dem Namen "Firmament" im Kuppelsaal der Kunsthalle zu sehen.

Recently I played #Firmament by #Cyan software. It was an awesome puzzle experience. Now I'm experiencing #Myst and after that #Riven. A shame I didn't played the games when they originally came out ;-). #gaming #gamer

Roll credits on #Firmament by @cyanworlds(10hrs).

I always love playing Cyan’s games. Beautiful worlds, intricate clockwork gadgetry, and a sense of peace and quiet.

There was one puzzle near the end (though others might encounter it sooner) that I felt was unfairly obtuse, but everything else fell into place with a little logic and backtracking.

It’s a great formula for getting players to slow down and enjoy mediate walk through those lovely environments.

And a fun twist.
