If you boot it in english it gets stuck on loading screen. So you need to change language to like french, then boot game, then go to settings and change back to english.
this brings me back to myst iv. Finally tech is there so they can do their games in real time !
oh wait, myst v was 3d

The game is definitely solid, there are several technical issues at the moment (erratic texture streaming/stuttering due to the Unreal Engine, very rough interface and occasional sound bugs - practically like any PC title of late), but it's exactly like a modern Myst in a big 3D environment.
It may look like yet another walking simulator at first glance, but the amount of puzzles and overwhelming sense of being at a complete loss are spot-on. There's absolutely no hand-holding whatsoever, you're put in the middle of a deserted, strange world, and must figure out how to escape while interacting with contraptions, human holograms, tons of buttons, passages/doors and even teleporting. It will probably require weeks to finish it without any help which is positive. Almost like the Witness, only the puzzles here are mostly physical ones as per tradition.
Solid game. Like Ixi says, it can be overwhelming - you spend most time trying to find the next "puzzle" rather than solving it. Progress is finding that single lever, that single scrap of paper, etc. If you got spades of free time, this can be an enjoyable game. If you don't ... well it's good to have a walk through close by to save frustration.
You walk around and solve puzzles but it's more in the style of Myst or Riven with the real-time full 3D movement some of the later games in that series used, NPC's are still 2D sprites though that look like low-res video recordings heh.
Also I haven't seen any puzzle panels with a touch-screen friendly layout as here it's more the traditional puzzles such as interacting with objects such as buttons, levers and whatnot.
...They also "stole" the white house from Zork Grand Inquisitor.
(And perhaps one of the early text-only adventure games in that series.)
I have a problem. The holograms only play sounds bot no FMV shows up (codec missing? Already installled the included redist files). When pressing the button nothing happens. Only If I press it rapidly would the sound start to play but no live actors show up. Codex release. (I have the gog version too but I've started playing with the scene release.)
The game is so overwhelming holy shit...
Anyway... my adventure is over as I got STUCK IN GEOMETRY and can't get out
Spoiler:
I got to another teleport location. The one with chains, metal bridges and aztec like building... and wondered into some cog wheels when going to investigate the temple... now I am unable to move back to inbounds

I got stuck too a few times..what works is to switch to point and click mode and click into an area, you will get moved out.
great!
Thanks... I kinda lost my momentum for today anyway. The game is really difficult

This is extremely insightful (even if one hasn't played the game), since it sums up exactly the problems with modern "adventure" games, and also some of the questionable back-to-the-roots approaches:
Yep.
I loved those old games but they were always full of impossible and outright stupid fhcking illogical puzzles. While I loved obduction for what it is, aat aome point the teleporter puzzles got so crazy and required so much running around that I bailed.
Adventure games are better as they are without this shit now.
Nowadays we have stuff like telltale games and classic point n click. Its just that myst style games are dead
