The story is kind of kaka, but I'd rank all of the puzzles between good and excellent. A must play for puzzle-lovers in my eyes, highly recommended.

Legitimately one of the best puzzle games I've ever played. If you're on the fence their next game Dimhaven has a demo and is a good taste of their game design philosophy.

I found this game waaaay late to the party, and kind of accidentally. I got recommended to wishlist their new upcoming (in 2026) game Dimhaven, because of my playtime in the DaVinci games, and was intrigued because its said "From the developers of Quern", which I had never heard of. Turn out I had, I had looked at the kickstarter a million years ago. I grew up on games like Myst, and other similar point/click/walk puzzle games, so this was right up my alley, and I've been on a kick of these in the last few years because I could play them at my own pace. It ultimately is a story on rails. The first half has you backtracking all over one island, building up knowledge and tools and access. The second half is in another area, but largely doesnt do a whole lot of backtracking, more linear forward momentum. It almost feels like the backhalf was written by a different team, or more rushed? Not bad at all, but the tone shifts a lot, in playstyle and the story. My only complaint about Quern, (of the genre too), is there is almost no-replayability because the puzzles are fixed (with the exception of 1 puzzle), so with a set of notes, or a good memory, everything after is mechanical rote. It does a good job of gating you so you cant just run to the docks and get the last page and speed run it in 30s #iykyk. I did a 2nd run to get some missed achievements, not stopping to smell the roses and explore every nook and cranny. first run was ~20hours, but I was exploring and taking my time. Second run just for achievement was ~3 (about what took me 12h the first time), and made it to the puzzle I missed (the one random one in the game too), which was a "do it right the first time with no mistakes" achievement (which suuucks). tldr; If you are a fan of Myst-like games, this is worth grabbing. Make use of steam screenshots and have pen/paper near by for doodles.

This is a fantastic puzzle game that really respects the player’s intelligence. The island itself isn’t the most colourful place – the palette leans heavily into muted greys and dull browns – but the slightly subdued visuals actually help to focus attention on what the game does best: its puzzles. Every puzzle I encountered felt logical, grounded, and fair. Solutions make physical sense within the world, and the game consistently teaches you how its systems work without resorting to cheap tricks or obscure logic. Not once did I feel like I was fighting the game or dealing with an inscrutable puzzles; whenever I got stuck, the answer always felt obvious in hindsight rather than arbitrary. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys puzzle games.
