You have just stumbled upon a most intriguing book, a book titled Myst . You have no idea where it came from, who wrote it, or how old it is. Reading through its pages provides you with only a description of an island world. But it's just a book, isn't it? As you reach the end of the book, you lay your hand on a page. Suddenly your own world dissolves into blackness, replaced with the island world the pages described. Now you're here, wherever here is, with no option but to explore.
Myst is a first-person point-and-click adventure where the player controls a character known as The Stranger. Magically transported into the world described in the book, he needs to explore Myst Island and solve its mysteries. The game is presented as a series of static scenes where the player acts with the environment by clicking and manipulating objects. There are no enemies and it is not possible to die. Through Myst Island, the game is further divided into mini-worlds set in different ages accessed through different books.
The game's interface is reduced to a single cursor for navigation and interaction. Rather than collecting items and using them to solve puzzles, the player must gather subtly placed clues and manipulate complex mechanical devices in order to advance in the game. The world of Myst is mostly uninhabited, and the game has very few live-action scenes with characters and dialogue.
Myst was released for the 3DO console in 1995 and has since become a cult classic. Its unique gameplay mechanics and immersive atmosphere have captivated gamers for decades.

How to Play
Moving Around
If the hand Cursor is moved with the directional pad or the mouse, its shape will be changed. When the finger shape does not indicate an object, it indicates front, back, left, or right based on the location in the screen. If the A button is pressed, you can move toward the direction it indicates. When using the mouse, the left button serves as the A button.
If the direction is limited, such as when adjacent to a wall, the shape of the hand cursor may not be changed. In this case, if the A button is pressed around the center of the screen, you can move to the direction. Pressing the A button around the edge of the screen allows you to get rid of the point.
Manipulating Objects
An object can be taken or moved using the following methods:
•
Just press the A button: If the cursor indicates an object such as a switch, it will be finger-shaped. Pressing the A button will turn on the switch or take the object.
•
Pull and move: If the cursor is shaped as an open hand, the indicated object can be pulled and moved. Pressing the A button changes the cursor shape to a grip hand. While holding the A button, press the directional pad or move the mouse to move the object.
Save/Load and Configuration
Pressing the C button during the game opens the options menu, which is the main menu. The finger cursor will disappear, and the selected item will be enclosed in a frame that lights up.
Use the up or down arrow keys of the directional pad, or move the mouse up or down, to change the selected item.
Menu Navigation and Controls
•
Press the A button after selecting an item to open its specific menu.
•
Use the B button as a cancel key on the menu screen to return to the previous state.
•
The C button always works as a key to return to the game.
Load Data
Items indicated in red have been saved, while those in blue are vacant.
To load data:
1. Select an item in red using the directional pad or mouse.
2. Press the A button to display the confirmation message.
3. Press the A button again to read the saved data.
Pressing the B button during item selection will return you to the item selection screen. If you load data, the contents of the previous game will be lost and replaced with the saved data. The game screen will then appear.
•
During the selection of load items, the B button leads to the main menu.
•
The C button brings you back to the game.
