Hey there, I found these pages on the support site. Looks like they're working on something!

http://support.cyan.com/kb/articles/which-of-cyan-s-games-are-64-bit-compliant-for-the-release-of-macos-catalina


I don't know if it's different/irrelevant because we're going through GOG, but thought I'd share anyhow. Hope we will see it fixed soon!

I'm not getting anything from the links, they just seem to upload endlessly.

The content of those HelpDesk links (HelpDesk is (as of this writing) undergoing maintenance):

Do Cyan's macOS games meet the application requirements for macOS Catalina?

Recent application requirement changes for MacOS Catalina are being addressed by our developers. Until their work is complete, some of our apps may be unusable if your system is updated to MacOS Catalina. Rest assured we are on the case and should have a fix in soon.
________

and
________

Which of Cyan's games are 64-bit compliant for the release of macOS Catalina?

Cyan's games that are available for macOS that are 64-bit compliant:

Obduction
realMyst: Masterpiece Edition
Myst III: Exile
Riven: The Sequel to Myst
Myst: Masterpiece Edition

Cyan's games that available for macOS that are not currently 64-bit compliant:

URU: Complete Chronicles
Myst V: End of Ages
Myst IV: Revelation

Note: Cyan is working with Codeweavers, the developers who helped us update the games in 2018, to make them compliant with Apple's latest update requirements. We don't have an estimate for when this will be complete.

Still waiting in 2020. :(

I am unable to load save games in Myst III on Catalina. :(
Posted March 30, 2020
Is anyone else having display issues with Myst 3? The display is cut off at the bottom of the screen which prevents me from accessing my inventory items and unable to save my game or make changes to my settings. It's playable otherwise just not functioning as it's intended to. My other Cyan games work fine.

Any update on this? Its been like 8 months and still no way to launch Myst IV on Mac? I am starting to feel that I was misled about the Kickstarter Anniversary apps running on Macs.

The issue is that in 2019, Apple enforced the change of their new OS to only support 64-bit apps. The games still work on Apple OSs prior to Catalina.

Cyan and Codeweavers are working on updating the affected games, but it's not a fast process (as you can see, given how long its taking).

When the affected games (Myst IV, V, and Uru: CC) are updated, we'll be making an announcement.

Hey developer friend, thank you for going onto a third party store and posting updates!
Even though it is 2021 (we’ve almost made it through the pandemic! Hopefully?), I was lucky enough to realize Apple was dropping 32-bit support and so I’m still running MacOS Mojave. Would I be able to play the last games in the Myst series (IV and V, Uru) in Mojave?

Thank you!!

PS I enjoyed Obduction as well, weird but fun!
Posted June 28, 2021
Yes, you should be able to run the games under MacOS Mojave, if your Mac meets or exceeds all of each game's other system requirememts.
