Welcome to Myst: a starkly beautiful island, eerily tinged with mystery and shrouded in intrigue.
Journey to Myst Island and other stunning, long dormant locations - called “Ages”- and begin to unravel the mystery you have been thrust into. As you learn what happened on the island, you will find that you are playing a key role in an epic story whose ending has not yet been written. Explore deeper connections in these stunning and surreal Ages, uncover a story of ruthless family betrayal, and make choices that will affect both you, and the world of Myst itself.
Cyan, the indie studio that created the beloved classic, has reimagined Myst.
Built from the ground up to play both in VR as well as traditional flatscreen displays, Myst is teeming with new art, new sound, re-imagined interactions, and even optional puzzle randomization. Finally... the highly anticipated Myst 2D/VR experience has arrived!
Now you can explore the Ages of Myst in a new dimension!
Designed and built from the ground up in Unreal Engine, this newly-reimagined version of Myst includes fresh takes on the visuals in every area in the game. With both VR and 2D play experiences in mind, this definitive, modern edition of Myst will immerse you in the world in a way that has never been possible before.
Additionally, Myst includes many “comfort level” features for both new and experienced VR users, including the option to enable smooth or snap turning, quick travel up stairs and ladders, vertical height quantization, and more!
For the first time in Myst’s history, enjoy the game in many different languages through localized UI, including dialogue and gameplay-context subtitles.
- A variety of accessibility options to assist in gameplay.
- Tired of taking notes? Now you can take photo captures in-game to keep track of what you’ve encountered!
- A large number of graphics options to choose from, such as supersampling options and Ray Tracing to bring the best Myst experience out of the hardware you have.
Q: Do I need a VR headset to play Myst?
A: You do not need a VR headset to play Myst. Myst is playable with or without a VR headset.
Q: I bought Myst when it first came out in 1993. Can I get a free upgrade to this new version?
A: Thank you for your support over the years! We are not giving out free upgrades to previous purchasers of the original Myst. We put a lot of effort into making this new version of Myst and would appreciate your financial support again!
Q: I want to play Myst, but am concerned about my computer not meeting the minimum requirements. What should I do?
A: If your machine does not meet the minimum requirements and you still want to try Myst out, we recommend enabling one of our supersampling options through the graphics settings menu to see if it alleviates performance concerns. Depending on the storefront you purchase Myst from, you may be able to qualify for a refund through the store (not through Cyan support) if Myst does not run well on your platform. Please review each store platform refund policy for details.
Q: Will Myst support [insert language here] one day?
A: Possibly! We’d love to hear from you through our support team about any languages you’d like for us to support.

NEED ORIGINAL CHARACTERS!
I can't give a low star rating, but the cgi characters are VERY disappointing. I realize the originals are very low resolution and perhaps some stuff needed to be modified, but is there any chance the original FMV characters could be worked in? The new cgi "videos" really kind of ruin the mood.

Myst as it should be.
(I didn't play the complete game yet and playing on a flat screen. I am now in the third age). I've been playing myst since the nineties and this is the greatest version. Now we can see Myst in all its glory. I turned all the graphic options on including raytracing and it looks gorgeous. Also it becomes a lot less confusing when walking around in a 3D world instead of navigating through still images (although that part already was solved in 'RealMyst'. Note you can enable the FMV sequences in the settings if preferred (I enabled it). The world now looks totally realistic and especially the sea is a joy to look at.

Little did I know in the 1990s....
...that I would be standing IN this game in the 2020s! This game looks great in VR. Specifically on the HP Reveb G2. Neither are you stuck on Teleport, you have the option to freely smooth walk, which I prefer. There are a decent number of options to alter the VR experience to your tastes. The moment I started this game I was brought right back. Graphics is really good, improved greatly. Water looks really good, birds fly in the sky, leaves move. Sound is really good, especially the great original music and voices. The CGI of the talky guys is not too bad at all - Acceptable. Though I will say why not use new real actors for that absolutely real look? There's a Classic mode and one other mode where maybe the puzzles change? Haven't tried it. Classic seems pretty much the same as I remember, with very few changes to the visuals and puzzles. It's pretty much as I remember. Right from the start with the book falling (and the man, I'm pretty sure there was no falling man originally) brought me back. The place feels smaller, but I guess it would in VR, since you actually take up space IN it. Criticisms? I couldn't walk/run between 2 trees when there was a clear space, there was just an invisible wall. I wish I could run up/down the bank instead of having to take the path every time. strange when you have freedom of movement to be restricted for no reason. But these are very small criticisms. Recommended, especially in VR. p.s. I wonder if my daughter will remember this game as I played this with her watching on my knee at the time?

Cyan should revive all of them
as the heading says RIVEN would probably make THE ultimate Remake ever !

Wonderful modern update to a classic!
I have enjoyed every new technological iteration of this game that Cyan has produced, and I particularly like the turn to grounded practicality in this latest version with puzzle controls that make more sense within the world. But the newly reimagined Rime addition really puts it over the top! This has taken the best of their approach from redesigning Riven and given great new insight into the characters, in a beautiful environment ❄️
