I just got finished with beating Riven for the first time. I adored the way the game seeped into my real life with pages of notes about the world I was discovering. Are there any other games that can match this feeling? That really work best when you have a journal in hand?

Fairune 2 and Submachine: Legacy were the last two where I needed to take notes.

For Submachine, I was mainly writing down coordinates of locations where I figured I could come back to use an item later, or information from signs that might be useful in a later puzzle.

For Fairune, I had to make multiple maps on graph paper to keep track of all of the things I wasn't sure how to solve or needed to come back to with new items.

I have also been writing down some numbers for System Shock, but I haven't finished that one yet, and I'm not sure if the note taking will need to be any more extensive.
