    I am playing, amongst other things, tiny room. It is similar to this game in that you need to solve puzzles and there is no combat though it is less visually stunning. You can get a clue any time you miss something buy watching a 30 second video. Some fun problems to solve and far less dark.Report

      I picked up The Nonary Games because I wanted one of those escape room experiences and… well, I had to google the first puzzle and it was explained that, yeah, this was the worst puzzle in the game and, don’t worry, the rest of the puzzles were fair.

      So I closed the game.Report

        This is from Kiary games. It is called Tiny room stories: Town Mystery. It’s a small game you can run on your mobile device though I am not sure how you see anything on that. I run it on bluestacks.Report

      I’ve heard good things about The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, which I believe is the same sort of affair. I bought the VR version before realizing that my GTX 1060 couldn’t handle it, so I only got about ten minutes in before deciding to shelve it until I could get a new video card at a reasonable price, and…well, you know how that goes.

      Maybe soon, but at this point I feel like I might as well wait for a next-gen card.Report
