hello all! i've been looking for the better part of my life for an old game i played as a kid. i'm 99% sure it was a mac game (but, as i had a non-mac later on, theres an outside chance it wasn't a mac os game)
here's what we have: i played this game in roughly 1998-2000. it was definitely released in the 90s, full color, and it was a point and click, not text based as far as i remember. definitely a game geared more towards children. it took place in the desert (i want to say arizona, but that could be biased as that's where i lived. so cal and utah are also distinctly possible). mostly it consisted of exploring the area and finding clues (for some greater mystery i can't remember, of course). i know a lot of the plot was based off of the native american tribe associated with the area. the graphics were not cartoonish in nature, although i cant remember if you interacted with any people and how they were stylized, or if you only interacted with the environment.
for the environment, unfortunately while i do remember it quite well, i'd only be describing a desert to you. there was a lot of exploring amongst red rock, and some red rock formations (attached photo of a red rock arch to give you an idea!) and cave systems in the area. my dad's most vivid memory of it is a fire pit where a clue was hidden, that took me way too long to find, which i think was in a cave. much finding of arrowheads and traditional jewlery and what not.
it's a longshot, but if this sparks anything in anyone's memory, please let me know! i'd be happy to find this game, at the very least so i can stop seaching.
