Obsidian came out in the wake of Myst. While you can definitely see the influence, it's its own thing - the narrative is stronger, for one, and the environments more unusual. I highly recommend playing this game if you enjoy Myst puzzling without Myst enigmatic machinery.

One of the very best Myst clones, and in fact, probably better than Myst in terms of setting and puzzle design. The surrealism is really cranked up to the max. The ending is a little weak, but doesn't detract from the bizarre journey itself.
