Futur wars had one where you had to try use a random newspaper vendor twice because the first time nothing happened and the second time it dropped an endgame needed item lol

Stay away from this game called Dark Souls then. Dunno if you heard of it but let's just say...you WILL die.

Sorry but gently caress Gabriel Knight 3. But Kings Quest 5 is the business even if it has multiple places that you can miss something and get to the end of the game and be hosed There's an item in the first 5 mins that if you miss you are hosed. If you enter a screen from the wrong direction an action doesn't trigger but doesn't tell you so you are hosed. If you don't go pixel hunting with a hook in the jail cell for a block of cheese you cant beat the game.

Myst 3 however is probably one of the best adventure games and has one of the best antagonists in a game ever imo.

i played myst and riven relatively recently (4 years ago-ish) and i played it through without looking anything up. when myst came out originally i was just a kid so i couldnt really figure it out. anyways, one day someone was at my house and asked for a piece of paper and i grabbed a notebook off a bookshelf and gave it to them. i didnt realize it was my myst/riven notebook. they asked me if i ever had a mental breakdown.

as a kid I did the minecart puzzle through pure trial and error lmao. pretty sure I could play through 4 or uru and have to solve the puzzles again, I've forgotten most of them. I'd probably also get stuck in Edanna in 3 because all the times I got stuck there were just places I couldn't see where the paths were. I'll also never forget the uru puzzle that makes you stand in a room for like 40 minutes and wait.

Thimbleweed park was a pretty good modern successor to maniac mansion, but the ending was some real horseshit

Myst was cool. Sound puzzles are fail tho. Possibly the only style of puzzle thats worse than "the solution is a pop culture ref"

I've mentioned it before but the best uru puzzle is the one where you come across a stuck bridge so instead of like, repairing the winch or finding a way around, you just do a running jump kick at it to knock it down.

There's no immediate consequence but at some point later (I think it was tracked in real time, maybe an hour? Definitely long enough for you to not have a backup save) a baby alien bursts out of your chest and you die. I beat all the space quest games as a kid except for that one because I was so pissed off
