![]() On the other hand, Cyan’s choice to allow players to replay Myst in the 1993 version or tackle the puzzles in random order: For those who had already completed the work of the Miller brothers in the 1990s, this option may be interesting. ![]() SEE ALSO The biggest WhatsApp revolution is coming: you can now use several accounts on the same device This was the aspect that had always differentiated Myst (and its sequels) from most of the adventures published up to that time. A change of graphicsĬyan had created at the time a sophisticated narrative system to give a logical sense to the riddles and puzzles that the player was gradually facing. From this point of view, Myst has not changed: the 1993 one has remained and it will take at least 5/6 hours to complete it. ![]() Some puzzles prove difficult and complex even in 2021 and they will require a large use of phosphorus, imagination and a pinch of madness: the most requested skill is, however, patience. The narrative plot is as smoky as the thick mists that surround the island and only by collecting the documents (which must be memorized) that are around it is possible to understand what is happening. The use of the puzzles proposed in Myst is really particular – in the nineties game design was different – and it takes a good mental predisposition to understand the logic and, above all, to decrypt the various connections. And in complete and blissful solitude we will find ourselves solving the many mysteries and riddles that are hidden in this island, while trying to find a way to escape from this rather bizarre place (or parallel universe). There are no characters to interact with, it’s just us and nature.

The landscapes and settings created by Cyan thirty years ago seemed to come directly from a surrealist painting: Myst has lost none of its original charm even in 2021 and, in a few moments, he finds us exploring an earthly paradise characterized by dense vegetation, protruding rocks, sand, water and mysterious constructions (including a submerged wooden vessel). And we stop here, to avoid anticipating too much. Only the player can help them: how? Solving a series of puzzles and riddles that will allow him to discover the secret that is hidden in this island. There is no doubt that the couple of Miller brothers were inspired by some theories on the parallel worlds of quantum mechanics (the famous multiverse): the possibility of traveling between the ages it was nothing more than a clever ploy to entice the player to solve specially designed puzzles / traps.Īnd after a few minutes of exploration we find ourselves getting to know the two brothers Sirrus and Achenar, trapped in different books (in parallel universes) and eager to be freed. The gimmick of the book (there are two types, one linking and one descriptive) was wisely exploited to make the player travel through the different eras present in the game. There is no name or face to identify the main character of Myst: Cyan has always wanted players to feel as if they were really stuck on that piece of land surrounded by water. ![]() In blissful solitudeĪ quiet island clouded by thick and impenetrable fogs, an ancient and disturbing mystery to be solved: after touching the page of a book, the protagonist of this adventure (the player) he literally finds himself catapulted into a new dimension, on an island in the middle of nowhere. Predictably, Myst’s success in the wake of 7th Guest gave origin of a new trend (that of interactive adventures) and several official sequels and multiple adaptations, without forgetting a long trail of clones: the last episode of the series is dated 2005 (Myst V: End of Ages), while the last remake / remastered in chronological order is that which appeared a couple weeks ago on the Xbox Game Pass service for Microsoft consoles and also available for PC.Ī reissue edited and supervised by Cyan herself (now Cyan Worlds) which has done nothing but resume the version created ad hoc last year for Virtual Reality and restored it with one goal: to make it appreciated by a new generation of players.
