The Book of Watermarks is an adventure video game developed by Watermarks and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation. Self-described as an "adult-friendly adventure",[2] the game is an interactive adventure game with pre-rendered graphics similar to Myst, with a visual and narrative style strongly influenced by the Shakespeare play The Tempest and the 1991 film Prospero's Books. Although released to minimal fanfare, The Book of Watermarks has retrospectively been assessed by critics as a unique and experimental entry in the catalog of PlayStation games.
