I’d like to ask the good people of this community that, if you do know the solution or figure it out, that you not share the answer here. Feel free to announce your success, but there’s something to be said for discovering the answer completely unaided, even if it takes years.

It’s embarrassingly obvious once you see it though.

Ever play the game Myst? As a kid that's exactly how it was. Days of banging my head and then a rush of finally figuring something out. Really miss that

    I recommend Outer Wilds then.

    Go in as blind as possible. They recommend a controller over mouse and keyboard and they mean it. The DLC is just as good as the base game, but I'd tackle it after doing the main objective.

    Outer Wilds or Outer Worlds because I've heard good things about both but know nothing about either.

    I have played Chants of Zenaar some which also hits the feeling.

    Take a look on tunic, but it comes with some combat action, which may not be what you are looking for.

    I've looked at Tunic before but it always looked more like Zelda to me. I dunno why but I've always bounced off Zelda.

    I don't like Zelda games myself but loved tunic. The puzzles are completely different than Zelda, much more interesting. The other commenter mentioned you can tone the combat down. Maybe worth a try if it is on sale.

    I was more of a Return to Zork kid. I'd work my way up to each character, and then kill that character to see their death scene. Then I'd start over and work my way to the next. I got all the way to the vulture at the cave, and stopped playing because I was told there were no more people to murder after that.
