What are some great games that require you to bust out a notebook and pen? (lemmy.ml)

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?

Riven is one of my favorite games and IMO the best of the Myst series of games. My recommendation is Outer Wilds, which doesn't necessarily require real life note taking although you could. However it is a fantastic puzzle/exploration game that is easily on par with Riven, and will hit that same vibe of learning more and more about the world and using that knowledge to progress. Trust me, its very worth it. Also get the DLC too!

Seconded, though I would advise getting the DLC after completing the main game.
