realMyst: Masterpiece Edition v2.0 released!
realMyst: Masterpiece Edition v2.0 is now available! We’ve been busy polishing, shining, cleaning, fixing, tuning, and just generally improving the realMyst experience. This new version is better than ever - here’s a list of some of the things we worked on...

- Improved performance quite a bit
- Improved the look of just about everything
- Improved lighting in many areas
- Squished tons of nasty bugs


realMyst: Masterpiece Edition is a beautifully updated version of realMYST for today’s Mac and Windows computers – celebrating the 20th anniversary of Myst! The worlds have been reconstructed and enhanced to provide realistic water, changing weather, dynamic lighting, life-like foliage, bloom and other camera effects, and more. We’ve even redesigned the interface to provide an enjoyable way to explore for both novices and gamers.

realMyst: Masterpiece Edition – It’s been 20 years since Myst became your world, and there’s never been a better time to revisit the Ages. This newly refreshed and rebuilt version of realMyst is all-things Myst, but amazingly more real. You can explore anywhere, unfettered, and in realtime! Pick your own path through the forest on Myst Island. Listen to the crickets as the sun sets in the Channelwood Age. Relax in the falling leaves in the Selenitic Age. Spin around for a full 360 degree tour of Sirrus’ throne room. Seek shelter from the thunderstorm in Stoneship Age.

And If you’ve ever been overwhelmed by realtime 3D – too many controls or too much motion – realMyst has something for you! You have the option to play the game just like the original Myst – with a simple point and click! Point where you want to go – click the mouse and you move through the world seamlessly to the new location. As a tribute to Myst’s 20th anniversary we’ve also added the original Myst images when you play in this Classic mode. Hold down the shift key and the original Myst image pops up, so you can see the difference and fondly remember that early Myst experience.

We’ve added plenty of new features to enhance and assist you on your journey. So whether you’re visiting Myst for the first time or you want to remember the first time – there’s never been a better reason to lose yourself and let the surrealistic Ages of realMyst become your world.
  • All the original Myst Ages plus bonus Rime Age.
  • Dynamic environments – rippling water, falling rain, waving trees & grass, with advanced graphic effects like bloom, blur, depth of field, etc.
  • Day and night – watch sunsets and sunrises, or explore at night.
  • Haunting Myst music score and dynamic 3D sounds.
  • Classic Point & Click navigation option – just like original Myst.
  • realMyst Hint Guide – get past that one puzzle that’s got you stumped.

Not in French

All the Myst series games (PC), included "Myst: Masterpiece Edition" (and "realMyst" but with a unofficial patch) are available in French, but "realMyst: Masterpiece Edition". So, I don't play to "realMyst: Masterpiece Edition" but to "realMyst" -> 3/5 (5/5 if the game was available in French)...

Much better than the original Myst

I thought this version of Myst was much, MUCH better than the original. I'm sure there are some die hard Myst fans that will disagree with that statement, but I never played the original as a kid, so there is no nostalgia factor for me. If you compare the two games side by side, without a nostalgia bias, this version is clearly better. The graphics and gameplay mechanics are both so much better. With that being said, it's still nowhere near as good as Riven. Overall I thought Myst was too small, and too short. I beat the game super quick. Riven is a much better game in so many ways. And even though this is a mostly positive review, I only gave realMyst 3 stars because at the end of the day, it's still a boring game haha. In conclusion, if you've never played Myst before, and you want to give it a try, I would definitely recommend this version over the original. If you want to revisit Myst for nostalgia purposes though, maybe stick to the original? Or not, whatever, lol.

Superbly done

This is what Myst should be. Not only is it in real time, but the graphics (specifically the textures) are actually higher quality than the original source material! Choosing the Unity engine also means lots of very nice eye candy features like god-rays etc. I own every version of Myst that has been released and this is definitely the best one yet. I can only hope and pray they do the same thing for Riven!

Impressed

I've been playing the Myst games for quite a while. I even own the original realMyst game, which was good despite the technical and performance issues it came with. But now realMyst: Masterpiece Edition has stepped up a level in presentation, both graphically and in features. There are now hints for those complete lama n00bs who may need help getting their feet wet for the first time in an adventure game, along with some very shiny, modernized graphics to tickle the eyeballs of veteran Mysters such as myself. Good jorb!

What an Improvement!!

WOW! 3D graphics and 360 movement allows players to ROAM!! This was a great game when we first played it in "94 and now with graphic and interaction improved it's terrific! I thoroughly enjoyed this 30 years ago and playing this again was exceptional with the improvements. I liked this return to MYST that i acquired Riven, Myst Exile, Myst Revelation and MYST End of Ages. Currently i am debating on URU and Obduction
