Venari transports you to a mysterious deserted island in pursuit of the fabled Venari Artefact. As you explore this detailed and atmospheric 3D world, you'll need to gather cues and clues from your environment to progress through the game's challenging puzzles.
Today marks a significant day for puzzle enthusiasts on PG.com. Alongside Netflix's innovative take on Minesweeper, we're excited to introduce Venari, a new addition to the niche yet notable genre of Myst-likes. In Venari, your mission is to uncover the legendary Venari Artefact by solving intricate brain-teasers scattered across a remote island.
Compared to other mobile Myst-likes, Venari stands out with its surprisingly impressive graphics. While hardcore gamers might notice some less detailed textures, the game excels in creating an immersive atmosphere with its shadows and sandy beaches. This attention to detail extends to the puzzles themselves, which are seamlessly integrated into the game's environment. Each puzzle is animated and requires you to piece together information from clues scattered throughout the landscape. If you're seeking a game that challenges you without holding your hand or restricting you to a fixed camera angle, Venari is a perfect choice.
