Not first person, but one of the last and greatest commercial adventure games.
Now available of Steam for $20.

Check out that site... Lots of fantastic freeware adventure games. I highly recommend The "Chzo Mythos". (5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, 6 Days a Sacrifice)

The sequel is quite good, with the glaring problem that
Spoiler:
It's hard to go wrong with any of the Lucas Arts classics. My favorites are Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island series. They're older, but both feature cartoon style graphics that fit the game perfectly - doing things more realistically or with fancy 3-D just wouldn't add anything.
For something newer, I like the Syberia games (1 and 2).
All of these are PC games - but since the OP mentioned Myst I assumed that was the gaming system of choice. Nice thing about adventure games is they're pretty non-demanding of your system.

If you can find it on PC, Indigo Prophecy is one of the best adventure games in years. A very emotional and involving story, great controls, and many easy to take in short chapters.

Get Fahrenheit instead, European version of Indigo Prophecy, I mean, I know your wife probably won't be into the nudity and sex but hey, you never know.

for PC, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend PORTAL, part of the orange box (Half Life 2). Its First Person, have to be very intelegent to get some of the puzzles, and very female freindly (My wife loves that game)
