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.

Soo good!
I have Myst in all of it's forms and this is the best one so far! Any fan has to play this game! It's beautiful, just stunning! The sounds and music are incredible as well. There's so much detail, it's mind blowing. The VR really puts it over the top!

It is Myst
Yes by now if your a fan of Myst like myself you have played many a Myst across several versions of Windows, or even a few consoles. Now you ask yourself, why would I want this one if I own one version of it? Well Honestly it looks the absolute best from the collection of the titles easily. With the option of VR to boot. Some of the downsides to it is the original content or FMV is long gone due to being lost to the tides of time. The game is built from the ground up impressively. It feels like I am playing the game for the first time again. If the price is a little much for you its worth a purchase, even if you own different versions for some quality of life navigation.

Great reimagining of the original Myst
I've been a big fan of Myst for nearly 20 years, though I was initially skeptical of this release, considering it hasn't been that long since the last re-release (RealMyst MasterPiece Edition was release in 2014, while Myst MasterPiece Edition and RealMyst were released in 2000) and I don't play games in VR. That said, the visual quality of Myst 2021 or Myst VR is way beyond that of RealMyst Masterpiece Edition, and I think the randomized puzzle solutions are a great addition for veterans who are basically just going through the motions on replays at this point. For better or worse, Cyan has opted not to faithfully recreate the environments from the original Myst, like they did with previous 3D remakes, and instead redesign much of the environments to be even more detailed, while staying true to the original style, and likely making other changes based on use of the Unreal Engine, like adding clearly defined buttons to open doors, while previous version would simply have you click on the door. You could say it's not quite the Myst you know, but you know it's Myst. One gripe however is use of 3d modeled characters in place of the earlier live action, especially since the audio from the original live action is still used and Cyan's previous Unreal Engine game did use live action. Perhaps Sirrus and Achenar were redesigned to resemble their appearance in Ubisoft's Myst IV: Revelation.

Myst in VR
What more is there to say? It is the all time great puzzle-adventure classic in VR. Don't have VR? Then you're still getting by far the best looking version of Myst thanks to modern Unreal Engine 4 visuals. Don't bother with the ray tracing though, it ruins reflections on Channelwood Age. The VR experience is sublime. They already addressed the main shortcoming with this game, which was the awful character models. We have the original FMVs now. Another shortcoming, which is hopefully only temporary, is no Rime Age. I was looking forward to that in VR, hopefully we get to experience it one day. There's also no more day/night cycle. For those new to Myst, this is a short and sweet game that cleverly uses environmental storytelling, never holds your hand for the puzzles, has spectacular, fantastical worlds. It was way ahead of its time.
