Cosmic Osmo and the Worlds Beyond the Mackerel

Thumbs up because Cyan has always stretched the limits of technology and that was it but 30 years ago (I think?) Other than that, not sure how relevant this game is nowadays

Genuinely one of the most imaginative spaces to mess around in. Like an old website for kids way back when. You can't make it fill the whole screen though, which kinda sucks, and if you click outside of the playable interface, the whole thing breaks... EDIT: I managed to do some hacky thing, whereby I used ProtonTricks to make the game windowed, then used OBS to capture the window and blow it up using linear scaling, which did wonders for immersion. This was a wonderful way to experience this little ditty.

so nice

better than myst

Cosmic Osmo is an ancient DOS point and click adventure game from the 1980s. Gameplay consists of transitioning between static screens, clicking on various hotspots on those screens to solve puzzles and further the family friendly adventure. The developers would go on to create Myst and become 1990's casual gaming icons, but it's not the 20th century anymore. The game is ancient, featuring monochrome graphics, locked resolution... and unfortunately despite this being launched on Steam, the developers expended no effort modernising the game. The game displays in roughly 320x200 resolution with no scaling, so it appears as a tiny postage stamp in the middle of the screen. Very difficult to play if you have a high DPI monitor (as most modern gaming systems will). Despite the game being completely ancient, the developers have their hands out for a stinging $6 USD, making this a lame attempt to rip off PC gamers for an ancient, abandoned game... nostalgia gouging is not okay.

It may have been interesting for a 5 year old in the late '80's, but it's definetely weird and boring for an adult in the '20's. At least The Manhole was in color. Not worthing your time (or your money!) just to get a glimpse of how CYAN got started.

A weird, old click-through exploration for children. Keep an adult busy for about an hour as well. The game plays in a very tiny window, I couldn't figure out how to maximize the window.

An okay point & click walking sim with a few different areas to explore and a few characters to talk to but not much apart from that (from what i saw).
