Yes, it was. That's when I played and finished it. Great adventure game. The different alien environments you travel to are really jaw-dropping. They look so good. Great visuals and design The game can be a bit difficult at times because the environments are rather large for an adventure game. But stick with it. If you get really stuck, try to find hints rather than a walkthrough. Pretty much the only drawback in this game is the lack of a solid asset streaming system, so you get this small hiccup when you walk to a different location in the same environment as the game loads assets. But it's not anything major, just a tad annoying.
I've never experienced games like MYST, so I'll keep this one in mind. I have it on GOG, which is my preferred platform, so I'll have to get to it someday!
I remember playing this a few years ago. Initially was captivated by it and was a nice change from the usual qaming genres, but somehow about mid-way lost interest in it.
