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 an action & adventure game 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 presents itself 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 on the Sega Saturn in 1995 and is considered a classic example of the action & adventure genre.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Myst® is a first-person puzzle-adventure game where players are mysteriously transported to an isolated, surreal world filled with mechanical wonders and ancient books. The objective is to explore diverse locations such as a dock, giant gears, a planetarium, and a library while carefully observing details to decipher the environment's hidden meanings. By applying curiosity and logic, the player must solve environmental puzzles to uncover the ultimate goal of this unique and enigmatic setting.
Story
GUIDE TO THE WORLD OF MYST®
You have suddenly found yourself in the world of Myst®. You have no idea what kind of place it is or what you do from here on.
First, explore ALL the locations that are accessible to you: the planetarium, the spaceship, the giant gears, etc., and the many books in the library.
Note all the details you can. All the things that exist in the world of Myst® have meaning, so take careful note of everything you see and hear.
As you learn more, your ultimate goal will become clear. Curiosity and careful thinking are your best weapons as you explore Myst®, a world totally unlike anything you have ever experience before.
THE WORLD OF MYST®
1.
DOCK
This is where the game begins. In front of you is a flight of stairs.
2.
GIANT GEARS
These are located at the top of the stairs which you can see from the dock.
3.
PLANETARIUM
The dome-shaped rotunda located at the top of the stairway to the right.
4.
LIBRARY
The building to the right of the planetarium.
How to Play
Getting Started
1. Turn on your Sega Saturn™.
2. Load your MYST® CD into your Sega Saturn™ as described in its instruction manual. Plug a Control Pad into port 1 of the Sega Saturn™.
3. When the title screen appears, press the START BUTTON. After a brief opening demo, the game will begin.
This game is for 1 player only.
Playing the Game
In the world of Myst® you use a hand-shaped cursor to move around and to manipulate objects. Moving around in MYST® is very intuitive. Use the Directional Button on the Control Pad to move the cursor around the screen. It will turn into a pointing hand if you can advance in that direction. Press the A, B or C BUTTON to advance in the direction the finger is pointing.
Some places are not accessible. When you use the A, B or C BUTTON in these places nothing will happen. This lets you know there is nothing important for you to find in that location.
Game Controls
•
D-PAD: Moves pointing hand cursor.
•
A, B & C: Move and manipulate objects.
•
Start Button: Start game/ Pause for options menu.
Manipulating Objects
As you progress through the game, you will discover various objects such as switches, doors and other items. Move the cursor to the object and press the A, B or C BUTTON to examine it. If the object is important, doing this will activate it or allow you to manipulate it. If nothing happens, this usually means that the object is not important.
You can also grab and pull levers and other objects. When the cursor is shaped like a grabbing hand, press the A, B or C BUTTON to grab the lever. When the cursor changes to a fist, keep the button held down and move the cursor to pull the lever.
You can pick up and carry some objects. When you move the cursor to one of these objects and press the A, B or C BUTTON, the cursor changes to show that you are holding something. You can usually put objects back down by moving the cursor to the spot where you picked up the object and pressing the A, B or C BUTTON.
The shape of the cursor can change depending on the type of object you pick up or move, but the basic operations are the same.
It's a good idea to thoroughly examine the library first before moving on elsewhere.
Locations
•
Observatory: The tower at the top of the mountain behind the library. It will be a very important base for you before the end of the adventure!
•
Spaceship: The strange craft located at the bottom of the slope next to the library.
•
Pillar Walkway: The area in front of the library. In the center is a small basin, and pillars line each side.
•
Generator: The brick building past the end of the pillar walkway, to the right. A power line strung along a series of brick supports runs parallel to the walkway, connecting up with something in the distance.
•
Log Cabin: This is located in the foliage to the left of the walkway, opposite the generator.
•
Giant Tree: The huge tree rising from a brick platform behind the log cabin.
•
Clocktower: This is located past the end of the pillar walkway, on a gear-shaped platform offshore.
Menu/ Options Screen
Press the START BUTTON during the game to bring up the menu screen. There are some locations in the game where the Menu screen is not accessible. These are the items you'll find on the screen:
Save Item
Saves your progress up to that point in the game to the backup RAM. You can save up to five games each to the Sega Saturn™ RAM and the Power Memory Cartridge (sold separately). When the Power Memory is connected to the cartridge slot, first select which RAM you wish to use.
If there is not sufficient RAM memory available, you may not be able to save five games. To make more memory available, erase some or all of the previous data from the Sega Saturn™ Saved Data Management screen before starting to play the game.
Note: Turning the power off will not clear the memory OR your saved game.
Load Item
Lets you start the game from a saved location. If the saved location is on Myst® island, the game begins from the library. If the saved location is elsewhere, the game begins from, the respective starting point of that location.
Game Settings
•
Speed: Lets you adjust the speed of the screen change from the default setting of 1 (slowest) up to 5 (fastest).
•
Brightness: Lets you adjust the brightness of the screen. 1 is the darkest and 5 is the brightest. The default setting is 3.
•
Cursor Speed: Lets you adjust how fast the cursor moves, from 1 (slowest) up to 5 (fastest). The default setting is 3.
If you get stuck trying to decide what your next move should be, explore your location with the cursor and you may find something. Think carefully about the places you've already been and the things you found there, and the information you already know, and try to work out how you can use this information. Carefully scrutinize everything you see and you'll be able to progress. Make sure you write down all the numbers and symbols you see, as they are clues.
