Edit: It was a first person puzzle/point-and-click game and I believe it had an inventory system.

Was it the parody game, Pyst?

No, it was serous and was not directly related to Myst (I think)

No, but similar artstyle. The game was set in a cave, so most of the walls were rock

Found it! It was Entombed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihOt0DMSi28
so I remember watching a video review by a youtuber similar to LGR of a game that looked kinda like Myst. I mean that the graphics were 3D and kinda shiny, like Myst. I remember that the desktop icon involved a crescent and/or a spike (Think the Quake logo and the Riven logo). The youtuber talked about how their dad or someone had it on their PC, so they would play it. They talked about how bad and confusing the game was, even when they were a kid. The game took place in an underground tomb, with the player being an explorer. They're not the first, however, and I believe a journal written by the first explorer contained hints and backstory. The puzzles were really confusing and convoluted, with the 2 I remember being a sliding puzzle and one involving pressing keys to play music in a certain way. The game was very dark and brown, seeing as the game was set in and underground tomb.
