I've not played The 7th Continent, but from the description, it sounds rather similar in style to the video game Sunless Sea (and the currently-in-beta sequel, Sunless Skies) - exploration-driven, deeply unforgiving survival and resource management, although 7th Continent sounds more art focused as opposed to Sunless Sea's writing-centric approach. If 7th Continent is anywhere near as enjoyable, I may have to give it a try - if it manages to recapture the feelings from first time you happen across the deadly elysium of Aestival, or the creeping dread as your crippled ship burns through your last barrel of fuel in the deep Eastern Unterzee, it will be well worth the $80.

Compared to sunless sea, the 7th continent is less text driven and has more environmental narration through illustrations. The 7th continent has puzzles like Myst and emergent story telling ("We killed my poisonous frog companion and spread its venom on our arrows. We had a good hunt and offered some of the food we caught to the Gods of Frogs in memory of Froggy."). I enjoyed both, and they may address the same crowd, but in very different ways.
