Interesting, I'll have to google that... I've always rather liked Uru, it seems to have gotten a somewhat bad rep with a bunch of people due to how different it is from the Myst series.
Had quite a bit of fun playing it online, even though that didn't last for very long... but even the single player stuff is rather good, I think.

Even despite not generally liking 3D graphics in adventure games very much, I have to admit that this game does have some pretty nice looking areas... and it's one of the few cases where it seemed absolutely necessary, what with it being designed as a multiplayer online game.
One area I still remember quite clearly is reaching the top of some very large structure, where you could look over the edge and get a nice view of the surrounding trees and such (the graphics making up the view itself weren't that spectacular, but ending up outside on top of that thing was still pretty cool, from what I recall).

Too bad things went as they did, this is maybe the one case I've witnessed where an online multiplayer puzzle/adventure game could have worked, at least well enough to be enjoyable.

Which is a rather impressive accomplishment when you think about it.
