Quern: Undying Thoughts

201681/100
PuzzleAdventureIndie

Mystery

Quern's strength lies in its meticulous, first-person puzzle design. It eschews hand-holding, instead presenting a lonely island where players must decipher complex machinery and environmental clues to progress. The satisfaction comes from that "aha!" moment, the click when a seemingly impossible problem suddenly makes sense, and the game's non-linear structure encourages exploration and experimentation until those moments arrive.

About Quern: Undying Thoughts

View Game Details
Quern is a first person puzzle adventure with captivating story and beautiful graphics. Quern refreshes the genre with flexible gameplay and reuseable puzzle mechanics. The visuals and the music combine traditional and modern elements providing a unique mood for the game. One of the specialities of Quern is that the tasks to be solved are not managed as separate, individual and sequential units, but as a complex entity, amongst which the players may wander and experiment freely. Often a bad or seemingly irrational result may bring the player closer to the final solution, if those are reconsidered and thought over again later, in the possession of the knowledge gained during the game.
