The worst part is when the game stops for a ten minute story monologue presented said glowing blob with a cave wall power point presentation. But they are in the last quater of the game and you don’t learn anything you might need later on. These feel completely out of place and have the air of a tutorial. At some points later in the game, it‘s also responsible for some very slow and tedious scripted sequences, combined with making you do some minor menial fetch quests. It tends to appear out of the blue and starts nagging at you. It doesn‘t help that this character is meant to gain your sympathy, but feels very hostile. It made me feel the creators‘ inability or lack of time, while just a disembodied voice might not have made this obvious. Telling other partx through a talking, flying green orb is not. Telling parts of the story through narrated letters is a good workaround. The developers didn‘t feel confident enough to design moving character models, which is fair enough with a small team. The idea is good in general, but the execution fails on several levels. The game would have gained a lot by more silence and more ambient noise instead of this constant barrage of muzak. It amounts to a monotonous plinking all the time, everywhere. Like much in the game, it‘s very Myst-like, but lacking the more dramatic tones of that series. Less content would have done the game a serious favour.įirst, there‘s the music. It‘s troubled by many design choices, mainly not knowing where to stop. Still, I was angry at this game most of the time while playing it. From the technical standpoint, it‘s very well made, the graphics are fine, there are almost no bugs and everything works as it should.

There are many good things to say about this game. Quern is a 2016 puzzle game in the footsteps of Myst by Zadbox Entertainment.
