realMyst: Masterpiece Edition v2.0 released!

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.

Great Classic

Played this with my mom as a kid, still a great game. get your notepad, some caffiene and consider calling into work over an immersive, storyful puzzle game.

The title is misleading

Masterpiece Edition? Really? This is just the old Myst game with new, not well optimized, graphics. Seriously, that's what you're going to get - an old old game with updated graphics. I feel misled. Not worth $17.00. Maybe worth $10.00. Ok, now that's out of the way. The storyline is genius, unique, and intricate. It puts parallel-world gaming on a whole new level. Or, um, a whole old level, but still - well done! The acting is a tad impotent, and their attempt at mixing real-life video with CGI makes for some jarring and unpleasant segways, but the puzzles. My oh my, the wonderful, wonderful puzzles! If you're a thinker, a mystery solver, this game is for you.

Get Myst masterpieceEdition (older) also

Good companion for masterpiece edition 1999 Play realMyst for starters in island Myst, ChannelWood and StoneAge. Do it alone in dark for atmosphere. But then leave that version because it is not so user friendly UI etc. Complete game with Myst masterpiece edition (older version 1999) with ScummVM on your phone and copy necessary files from your PC to phone. It is not very difficult, but game is.

"Plain" RealMyst is better

Really, the "Masterpiece edition" manages to make aspects of the game worse. Imho the "original" RealMyst is a better experience. One star for the legacy of Myst (a cornerstone in gaming history), and one star for the very few things that this edition managed to improve.
