Cosmic Osmo and the Worlds Beyond the Mackerel

better than myst

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.

憨萌大胖虫子倾情出演的超现实宇宙漫游

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.

Aloof and a short little play if you are curious about what the games before Myst were like. However it's hard to actively recommend it in this day and age.
