thinking about Myst and oldschool survival horror 

Myst's prerendered backgrounds and atmosphere make me think about classic survival horror. They're obviously not the same thing but I think there's parallels in why people like them. Obviously you have to think a lot less in, say, Resident Evil, but Silent Hill had the hard puzzle difficulty that is probably even harder than stuff in Myst

@pup_hime fun fact apparently you can still play that game
