Quick Look | Book of Watermarks (1999) PlayStation 1 HD | a Japan take on Myst
...a Exclusive title fully in English from the Japan Region, about the 13 books of magic... more like, wisdom books... from maths to architecture to navigation... each one with a riddle based around it , splintered to 13 chapters ... each with fantastic OST and FMV ... BUT ... the input lag to load the next transition is horrible .. it takes from 2 to 3 sec per single screen , ouch ... and no matter how fantastic the music and the FMV is ... the whole game was dull to me ... guess it had to do with the horrible design this game had :
You get a FMV before each chapter for what book you look ... then you must find the riddle to solve ... so you do it, by instinct or wander each time wasting from 5 to 10 min to the library... to read the Book of Watermarks, pointing you to the next riddle ... and giving you a hint how to solve it ... then solve it and end it with a FMV about the book you found ...
Repeat ... till you find all 12 books ... at the end you touch book 13 Watermarks to end this game ...
So did you like it , nope ... its a 2CD game that was 2h long ... but in reality its only like ...45 min (the rest of those 2h where those horrible 3 sec loads till it played the next animation jezz)
