Myst

Saturday, May 23, 2009


Myst, a very popular game from the 1990's, has made its way to the App Store. Myst is a first person adventure game where you must explore the island of Myst and transporting into different ages by use of books. It requires players to solve puzzles to find out what to do next.


Graphics:

Myst is a 3D game, but is in pre-rendered 3D, not real-time 3D. Basicly, Myst is just a bunch of photos of 3D images. When you tap, the image changes. That said, the graphics still look really cool.

Gameplay:

Myst's gameplay is similar to the gameplay of a mystery game. You look for clues to solve puzzles. There is no way to die (although there a 3 different endings) so explore all you want.
Myst Island is the hub world for myst. There are books on this island that take you to different ages. (Hover your mouse over different places of the map of Myst Island below to see images of the ages.









Myst is a great value at $5.99, it provides hours and hours of gameplay (especially if you don't use the hint guide). It a unique experience for the iPhone. If you like any type of mystery games, I would give this one a try!
