Amber Journeys Beyond Great game. there's both a mac and pc version. old performa mac version I should say. it has a paranormal theme. I wouldn't call it horror. it has an interesting story too. very much worth playing. I think it was already mentioned

the lost crown a ghost hunting adventure haven't played it yet but it looks decent. i'd say this falls under horror more so than the last one. not sure if it's 1st person or 3rd.

Barrow Hill another horror title. I didn't find it scary at all. This one is alright. maybe 7 out of 10

Ether One This one is already out. easy to find. I'd like some opinions on it thought before I try it myself :)

Miasmata this one you can buy on most of the game sites. I haven't tried it yet. I'd like to know more about if if anyone has :)

Most of these haven't been released yet but mentioning them anyways for future reference

Obduction hasn't been released yet.. but it's by the guys who made myst. it's going to use the unreal engine I heard so it's probably not going to be compatible with shader model 3.0 cards. gotta have a decent computer for this one.

amarhys this is a french game that looks promising. Merci, l'immersion francais parce que je peux jeux cette jeu :P

Coma: A mind Adventure this one looks good. I haven't played it myself. Not sure where to buy it actually. can't find a buy link on the developers website.. maybe it's not released yet. do NOT buy the one that looks similar from big fish games. that is a hidden object game :/

Dream by HyperSloth Games this one looks good as well. the game is still in development but you can buy it on steam right now.

Ages of Ilathid I think this is just a mod or a custom made age for myst uru. either way it looks really gorgeous.

Beyond Worlds another one that's still in development. it's got the steam greenlight so watch for it. It's a sci fi :)
http://www.beyond-worlds.com/

Aporia: Uncover the Mystery it looks like there's a free version of this right now. they must still be developing it or something and are trying to get people on board. probably just a demo.

Adam Syndrome Another one where i couldn't find a buy link on the developers website. anyways, looks like a noir mystery.


Thanaphobia
another one that looks like it's still in development.

Routine this one looks really cool. nice sci fi graphics. Still in development by the looks of it but I could be wrong. I thought it was supposed to be released last year.
http://routinegame.com/

Reset Another one in development. don't know much about it.
http://reset-game.net/

Montas it looks like they're building this one with occulus rift support. the site says it's coming out any day now. you can pre-order it on steam. don't know much about the game though.

http://www.welcometotheopera.com/

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture it's probably all relgiousy which isn't everyone's taste. not sure if it's out yet.

Prominence I can't wait for this game to come out but I've been waiting for it forever now so don't hold your breath. it's sci fi and looks really cool.

I think I just found one of the rarest myst clones ever made:

It's for amiga though not PC

http://members.shaw.ca/realstar/aqua/aquaindex.html

there are no CD versions left anywhere at all.. luckily the developer released it for free as a 4 part download.

it's a bit tricky to get working though...
your Amiga emulator needs to have a lot of stuff up to date and installed.
I used os 3.9
you should probable have CGFX4 and Picasso96 installed..
some kind of sound plugin. I can't remember which one and the site doesn't say now. I bet you could find out in the game's documentation.
but the main thing is that you need to make a floppy image and name the volume "envarc" in amiga. this is a save disk for the game you need to have in. it's not just for save games.. it saves your screenmode settings for the game that you need to set before playing it.... just use the recommended resolutions but use 8 bit, 256 colors for each one... there's two settings.. one for the game.. one for cutscenes.. i suggest using a picasso IV setup because that's what worked for me.
yea, this one is a huge pain to get working. also the graphics suck.
the game itself is fun though
and i did in fact eventually get it working.

just make sure you download it now because the site it's one looks old and can't last forever

Serpent in the Staglands Divinity: Original Sin Project: Eternity Torment: Tides of Numenera Shadorwun: Hong Kong
Two more that I don't believe are mentioned:

Gog just released Of Light and Darkness: The Prophecy

And I learned the same company that made Obsidian made one called The Space Bar, which may have the greatest box art ever.
