Scattered around the island are puzzles that the player must solve in order to return home. Upon arriving on the island, little information is given on how to proceed and, instead, the player is given the freedom to explore the island however he wishes.
In this point-and-click adventure game, players assume the role of a nameless and faceless character referred to as 'The Stranger.' Cyan deliberately gave little information about This character because they wanted players to insert themselves into the role of The Stranger.Īfter discovering a magical book, known in the game as 'linking books,' The Stranger is transported to a mysterious island called Myst.
Created in 1993 by brothers Robyn and Rand Miller through their company Cyan, Myst is one of the best-selling video games of all time.
