Turn left, and look up.One face is just to the left of lower center,hidden in the rocks. The other is in the lowerright corner.More hidden faces can be seen on Temple Island,after going under the chained wood gate. Thepassage to Gateway room at other end must beopen.

After you break the lens at the end of the game,look closely at Atrus. For a brief moment a facewill appear. This also happens at the start ofRiven, when Atrus holds up the Linking book toRiven. This was intentional, so that it felt likeGehn was watching you from the very beginning.
When you change to Disc 3 you should be at apoint where all the trees are cut down. Find thepath that leads to the gate. Open it and start towalk. As soon as you go under the first tree,look to your left. You should see a giant daggersticking up out of the ground. Walk down and youwill find another rolling ball thing.

.: September 30, 1996.: November 15, 1996,Mode(s)Myst is a designed by the Miller brothers,. It was developed by, published by, and initially released for the platform in 1993. In the game, players travel via a special book to the island of Myst. There, players solve puzzles and, by doing so, travel to four other worlds, known as Ages, which reveal the backstory of the game's characters.The Miller brothers got their start in video game development, creating titles for children. They conceived Myst as their first game for adults and received funding from publisher. Development began in 1991 and was Cyan's biggest undertaking to date.
Technical constraints of the time influenced the design of the game and the production of its graphics, which were state-of-the-art but static. Robyn Miller composed 40 minutes of that became the soundtrack to Myst.Myst was a surprise hit, with critics lauding the ability of the game to immerse players in its fictional world. Selling more than six million copies, the game was the until exceeded its sales in 2002. Myst helped drive adoption of the new format, spawned a, and inspired clones, parodies, and new genres of video games. Multiple and of the game to other platforms have been released, as well as spin-off novels and other media. Screenshot of Myst showing the eponymous setting of Myst Island. The ship in the foreground is part of a puzzle to reach another Age, and a library is located behind it.Myst 's gameplay consists of a journey through an interactive world.
Players can interact with specific objects on some screens by or dragging them.: 5–6 The player moves by clicking on locations shown on the screen; the scene then crossfades into another frame, and the player can explore the new area. Myst has an optional 'Zip' feature to assist in rapidly crossing areas already explored; when a lightning bolt cursor appears, players can click and skip several frames to another location. While this provides a rapid method of travel, it can also cause players to miss important items and clues.: 9 Some items can be carried by the player and read, including journal pages which provide. Players can only carry a single page at a time, and pages return to their original locations when dropped.: 13To complete the game, the player must explore the island of Myst. There the player discovers and follows clues to be transported via 'linking books' to several 'Ages', each of which is a self-contained mini-world. Each of the Ages—named Selenitic, Stoneship, Mechanical, and Channelwood—requires the user to solve a series of logical, interrelated puzzles to complete its exploration. Objects and information discovered in one Age may be required to solve puzzles in another Age, or to complete the game's primary puzzle on Myst.
For example, in order to activate a switch, players must first discover a combination to a safe, open it, and use the matches found within to start a boiler.Apart from its predominantly nonverbal storytelling, Myst 's gameplay is unusual among adventuring computer games in several ways. The player is provided with very little backstory at the beginning of the game, and no obvious goals or objectives are laid out. This means that players must simply begin to explore.
There are no obvious enemies, no time limit to complete the game, and no threat of dying at any point. The game unfolds at its own pace and is solved through a combination of patience, observation, and logical thinking. Plot Players assume the role of an unnamed person who stumbles across an unusual book titled 'Myst'.
The player reads the book and discovers a detailed description of an island world called Myst. Placing their hand on the last page, the player is whisked away to the world described and is left with no choice but to explore the island.: 2 Myst contains a library where two additional books can be found, colored red and blue.
These books are traps that hold, the sons of, who once lived on Myst island with his wife Catherine. Atrus writes special 'linking books' that transport people to the worlds, or 'Ages', that the books describe. From the panels of their books, Sirrus and Achenar tell the player that Atrus is dead; each brother blames the other for the death of their father, as well as the destruction of much of Atrus' library. Both plead for help to escape. The books are missing several pages, rendering the sons' messages unclear and riddled with static.As the player continues to explore the island, books linking to more Ages are discovered hidden behind complex mechanisms and puzzles.
The player must visit each Age, find the red and blue pages hidden there, and return to Myst Island. These pages can then be placed in the corresponding books. As the player adds more pages to these books, the brothers can be seen and heard more clearly.
After collecting four pages, the brothers can talk clearly enough to tell the player where the fifth and final missing page for their book is hidden; if the player can complete either book, that brother will be set free. The clearer dialog also allows the player to more accurately judge each brother's personality. The player is left with a choice to help Sirrus, Achenar, or neither.Sirrus and Achenar beg the player not to touch the green book that is stored in the same location as their final pages, claiming it to be another trap book like their own. In truth, it leads to D'ni, where Atrus is imprisoned. When the book is opened, Atrus asks the player to bring him a final page that is hidden on Myst Island; without it, he cannot bring his sons to justice. The game has several endings, depending on the player's actions. Giving either Sirrus or Achenar the final page of their book causes the player to switch places with the son, leaving the player trapped inside the Prison book.
Linking to D'ni without the page Atrus asks for leaves the player and Atrus trapped on D'ni. Linking to D'ni with the page allows Atrus to complete his Myst book and return to the island. Upon returning to the library, the player finds the red and blue books gone, and burn marks on the shelves where they used to be.Development Background. We started our design work and realized that we would need to have even more story and history than would be revealed in the game itself. It seemed having that depth was just as important as what the explorer would actually see.—Rand Miller, on developing Myst 's fictional historyIn 1988, brothers Rand and Robyn Miller were living apart in the United States.
Robyn was taking a year off from university, writing and trying to establish state residency. Rand was a computer programmer for a bank. Rand approached his brother with the idea of making an interactive storybook using. The brothers were not big video game players themselves, although they were familiar with, and had played. In his parents' basement—Robyn did not own a computer himself—Robyn began drawing pictures and creating a nonlinear story that would eventually become their first game,.
The Manhole and the games that followed— and —were specifically aimed at children and shared the same aesthetics: black-and-white graphics, point-and-click gameplay, a first-person point of view, and explorable worlds. Robyn recalled that the games were more about exploration than narrative: 'In the projects we did for children, we didn't really tell stories. They were just these worlds that you would explore.'
Around 1990, the brothers decided to create a game that would appeal to adults. Among their goals were believable characters, a non-linear story, and for the player as protagonist to make ethical choices. The Millers pitched the game to under the title The Gray Summons; Robyn recalled that Activision told them to stick to children's games. At the time of the rejection, they were not doing well financially—'we were eating rice and beans and and that was our diet.'
Facing the end of their game-producing career, Japanese developer approached the Millers to create an adult-oriented game. Like with The Gray Summons, the Millers wanted their game to have a non-linear story with believable characters and an ethical choice. They also wanted to produce a game with far more impressive graphics than their previous efforts—at one point they considered making the game entirely hand-drawn. Finally, they knew their story would be a mystery.Development of Myst began in 1991.
The game's creative team consisted of brothers Rand and Robyn, with help from sound designer Chris Brandkamp, 3D artist and animator Chuck Carter, Richard Watson, Bonnie McDowall, and Ryan Miller, who together made up Myst was the largest and most time-consuming collaboration Cyan had attempted at that point. Cyan took inspiration from games like Zork, ' mythic universe, portals to other worlds like in ', and the mysterious islands of old literature like the works of. The game's name, as well as the overall solitary and mysterious atmosphere of the island, was inspired by the book by Verne.Sunsoft was not interested in the game for PC and was instead focused on the video game console market.
At the time, consoles had no hard drives and small memory buffers, meaning the game had to be designed around these technical constraints. To solve this issue, they compartmentalized parts of the game's environments into the different Ages. The Millers decided that most people did not like puzzles. Thus, a good puzzle would feel familiar and part of the world—not like a puzzle, but something for players to figure out like a circuit breaker in their house, using observation and common sense. Cyan did not have fans to please, and did not know exactly who the game would appeal to; Robyn felt like they did not have to second-guess their choices and could 'explore the world as we were designing' and build a game for themselves.
In a 2016 interview, Rand Miller stated that they strived to design the puzzles in Myst and their subsequent games by trying to balance three aspects: the puzzles themselves, the environment, and the story. Rand also stated they wanted to make sure that clues to the solutions to puzzles were apparent and presented to the player in a manner for these connections to be made: 'once the player finds the solution, if they blame us, then we haven't done a good job. But if they blame themselves, then we have.' The Millers prepared a seven-page game proposal for Sunsoft from their ideas, mostly consisting of maps of the islands they had envisioned.
Cyan proposed Myst to Sunsoft for $265,000—more than double what they thought it would cost to develop the game, but ultimately less than the game's final cost. Sunsoft had asked the brothers if their game would be as good as the upcoming, another video game that had been shown in public preview demonstrations; the Millers assured them it would. After getting the go-ahead, Cyan playtested the entire game in a role-played Dungeons and Dragons form to identify any large issues before entering full production. Production.

Weather effects like thunderstorms, sunsets, and sunrises were added to the Ages, and minor additions were made to keep the game in sync with the story of the Myst novels and sequels. The game also added a new sixth Age called Rime, which is featured in an extended ending, as well as the addition of Ti'ana's grave on Myst island.
RealMyst was developed by Cyan, Inc. And, and published. While the new interactivity of the game was praised, realMyst ran poorly on most computers of the time. Robyn Miller expressed frustration with realMyst, saying: 'I only saw realMyst after it was released. As a remake, it was a lapse of reason and directionless; overt merchandising of the original Myst. It definitely wasn't how we originally envisioned Myst, as was promoted.'
