The game plays out like a Sir Aurthur Conan Doyle novel where nothing is ever as easy as it seems it will hook you right from the start when it drops you, unwittingly, onto the island of Myst without any clear indication of what you're supposed to do but explore. Myst isn't like most other games found on the market today game developers today largely cater to audiences who crave either sensory-overload full-body-armor 24-hour-a-day immersion, or simple mind-numbing trivial entertainment. Now, going back to it, I find that I still really like the game. I bought Myst because I had borrowed it from a friend and played it when I was younger. Myst's look is noteworthy for featuring still images viewed from a first-person perspective, with interaction limited to manipulating a cursor over each static picture.Īction/Adventure, Adventure, Action/AdventureĮxplore the island of Myst as well as four other worlds Features multiple endings based on your decisions in the game Search the environment for the clues needed to solve each cryptic puzzle As you progress in the game, you will find four other books written by Atrus that magically transport you to additional worlds, each offering more interconnected puzzles and clues to the storyline.
By exploring the island, you will eventually stumble upon an assortment of puzzles in the form of intricate contraptions, whose secrets can only be unlocked after discovering evidence of their nature. Forgoing the character interaction and inventory-based puzzles found in earlier computer adventure games, Myst places you in a lonely, desolate environment with no obvious indication on where you should go or what you are supposed to do. A book written by a potentially paranoid man named Atrus serves as a portal to an otherworldly place, the island of Myst, in this atmospheric adventure game by developer Cyan.
