Quern – Undying Thoughts rewards patience and those happy to examine every clue in the surrounding areas, writing a thesis, ringing Nobel Prize winners, and asking their advice. If you hate those games, that slow pace, or the tricky puzzles they deliver then I feel you’re not going to get much out of this new addition to the genre. The game is a first-person puzzle adventure, very much aligned with the likes of Myst and The Witness. It’s a narrative that rewards those who look at every drawing and read every book only then will you maybe draw your own thoughts about what it all actually means. The story is compelling, and one told only through these letters and a mysterious entity you meet later on. Is he your friend or your enemy? Who knows, but you soon discover you are on an island called Quern, and it’s a magical scientific place and this guy is giving you guidance and clues about where to go next. But then you happen upon a letter, and it seems as if a man is sending you his thoughts about your arrival. You start to explore this magical odd world, discovering weird-looking machines, locked doors, and complicated devices. Now what? Well, the next part is up to you. As you arrive, the teleportation device that took you there has been destroyed.

There are lots of unknowns in this adventure. Quern puts you in charge of an unknown person transported for some unknown reason into a strange unknown new world.
