This is a good game, but I yearn for another MYST!
mike1603February 7, 2013
Pros
Beautiful, engaging, non-violent, interesting puzzles
Cons
Slim plot, each episode is more of the same, just rearranged a bit. No rich universe or plot background. Too long between episodes. Gameplay is linear, not geographic and never requires more than a 2 screen interaction to solve puzzles. Each episode can be completed in very little time.
Summary
Good game, beautiful and non-violent. But when you compare it to the rich universe of Myst, Riven, Myst III IV V etc. Each of the Myst games is a rich interaction of puzzles and real-world solutions and requires moving back an forth thru the geography. In short, the plot is 10X more engaging. Still, Adera may be the best I have seen since Myst.
Inventory tray disappeared forever

Pros
Good story so far.
Cons
Why is it so hard to report a problem with this game?
Summary
After playing the Windmill puzzle and the inventory tray disappeared and I haven't seen it since. I need to access it in order to continue with game. If not fixed, I would spend any money on the next episode
