My friends and I have been making a custom cube for the better part of a year now (no set themes, mostly joke cards, homebrew mechanics etc its all for fun) and one of the things we created was "Book" synergy and "Book tokens" based off of Myst. I made most of these with some help from a couple other friends who like Myst - I hope you get a kick out of them!

Side note: As I mentioned, this is a hodgepodge set with jokey cards, hence the spell type "Bisexual" (meaning it has two modes) and the creature type "Beasley"

Hi guys! I'm playing Myst Masterpiece Edition - my first time playing the game! I'm very near the end and got to the green book. Just to see what would happen, I grabbed the red page and took it in with me. Atrus gave me the spiel about needing the missing page and now I'm trying to get back to the library (I have the instructions from the torn pages). The trouble is, I can't figure out how to get back. I click the book on the desk and tried clicking the image, but it didn't do anything. Is it possible to actually lose the game permanently? Do I need to do everything over?

First time playing Myst, the original version from 1993, not the Masterpiece version or the 2021 version, to be clear.

I've done pretty much everything in Channelwood. I've made it to the top, as in the third floor, and found both the blue and red page. Now I just need to find my way back to Myst Island, but I have no idea where the book back is and I don't see anything else that might help me find it.

Please, DON'T tell me exactly what I'm supposed to do, all I want is a little nudge in the right direction. Thank you!

Just to start: I Installed Revolution at the start and am currently half way through the game without issues thus far.

So heres the issue: I tried to load up Myst IV yesterday for live stream. I checked my equipment before stream, and game was fine. Suddenly when relaunched it, the hand was stuck in bottom right of screen. I tried closing and re-launching. I tried launching as admin. I tried changing the mouse poll. Even tried ending stream and restarting PC (very very embarrassing). No go. Mouse is perfectly fine on pc. Have been trying numerous other troubleshooting options but nothing is working.

Has anyone had this issue? Would reinstalling the game (steam) fix it? I really don't want to do this.

I'm reading the book of D'ni and something is bothering me. Unless I'm mistaken, at some point the Averonese youngsters decide that Irras will use a suit to test the strange Age written in the large Book with the strange, but familiar language, to make sure Atrus will be safe. Without Atrus and the rest knowing.

How does Atrus not pick up on this, seeing how Linking Books work? The return book would be left behind on the return trip, so Atrus would surely be missing that book during his preparations, and even if another book would take its place he surely would notice a small suit Linking Book laying around at the other side.

Am I missing a mechanic that the suits are special and do cause books not to be left behind, which is not how other Linking Books work in this universe?

Hi!

Back in 2018, Cyan delisted the original realMyst from GOG and Steam for unknown reasons. This made it impossible to legally obtain a version of realMyst that runs on modern hardware today. The delisting of realMyst was unexpected, because an older version (Myst: Masterpiece Edition) is still being sold.

Many people consider realMyst to be the best version of Myst because of its aesthetics. Ever since it was delisted, people on this subreddit have frequently asked about buying this version of the game.

One of GOG's goals is game preservation and making older games accessible to everyone. GOG has the Dreamlist, where you can vote for games you'd like to see return to the platform.

You can vote for realMyst to return to GOG and share your memories of the game here:

https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/realmyst-2000

realMyst already has 270 votes on GOG's Dreamlist and 3 people already shared there memories of this game. If you'd like to see realMyst back on GOG, don't forget to vote!

Here's the original realMyst trailer that GOG uploaded to YouTube back in 2010:

Someone asked me for scans. Well, here you go.

I’ve gotten the symbol, but I can’t find a way to interact with the container the linking book is in. Can anyone help me, please?

SPOILER AHEAD

Hiya everyone, currently playing Riven (OG) for the first time and i'm sorta stuck inGehn's cage... He doesn't respond to the bell, but he hasn't given me the option to trap him yet so i can escape. Bene here for some time now, travelled everywhere... Got so frustrated i decided to look it up. Could i have messed up by skipping his first dialogue? Before even visiting Catherine? Or is there another way to force his appearance, other than ringing the bell? I tried saving and reloading btw.

My dad died last year the day after Christmas. He was a pianist who deeply appreciated the experimental tracks Robyn Miller composed for Myst, and then again for the more “refined” tracks in Riven. One of the things I wish he got to experience was Riven 2024, but his pancreatic cancer diagnosis just didn’t allow him the energy.

Robyn Miller created some musical pieces that are genuinely interesting and fit perfectly with the atmosphere, environment, and challenges Myst and Riven throw at you. They provoke thought, intrigue, curiosity, and exploration. They’re not simply “new age” meditation pieces—at least that’s not how they sound to me. There’s something about them that is really special.

I recently played Riven 2024 on the Xbox and memories of playing the game with my dad came back to me. Robyn Miller’s music certainly helped with that. I’m glad for that.

Impressive trick, but it’s the soundtrack that’s ringing bells.

I have tried every lens combination. I have the “infinity” note and the stone carver table. I do not understand what I’m supposed to do. I have pulled the lever with the corresponding combination / book. If it matters,
I do not have a “riven” book, instead I have a “blank” book. I have a notebook full of stuff from when I first played this game and still I cannot get out of Rime. Please help.

Hi... I'm Robyn...

The Dark Guardians are not kind! But you are safe in the light.

Or... just murder them (and find the crystals).

Use WADS and your mouse to move.

Spacebar to shoot.

E to interact (with switches or to pick up).

Shift to speed up.

Please wear headphones... or turn the music up. Not so much a game as a mood piece. Let me know what you think.

To celebrate Obduction's 10-year anniversary I want to share some idle speculation I've been having:

In Obduction we see a copy of the Myst Unwritten RPG, which would imply Myst is fictional in this continuity. However, the Myst games and Cyan Worlds exist in the world of Uru, just to reveal the history of D'ni in a "Stargate SG-1"/"Wormhole X-treme!" plausible deniability arrangement. So it's possible Soria, Maray, and Kaptar and their inhabitants the Mofang, Villein, and Arai could exist somewhere in the Uru continuity, either in our spacetime or as alternate versions in D'ni Ages; maybe the Mofang were the slaves mentioned on Teledahn and Rebek. Maybe the seeds originate from the same world as the Bahro? And maybe the reason the DRC has interest in D'ni is to secure, contain, and protect the Earth Descriptive Book, and the ending of Obduction indicates that they failed

I know Cyan probably doesn't consider them connected, and it may be better if Obduction is in its own continuity, but it's so much more darned interesting if you start from the assumption they're somehow connected.

I just finish Myst and havent done Riven yet. But Atrus said after I got the good ending I could explore his library. Is there a bigger library in the tower I can access with more books or is he just refering to the book shelf?

Hi all,

What are some contemporary games that are kind of in the same spirit as riven and myst exile? Exile is probably my favorite. I love point and click games. I especially loved the art and atmosphere and steam punk flair in exile.

Howdy! I'm playing through Riven 2024 (via Steam). All files say they are updated. Yet, I have this persistent glitch in that the bench where you create a fire marble doesn't show the numbers on the slider. How can I get past this problem? I've restarted the game several times. Same problem.

A thought I had. I know the biggest issue for most people are the character models in Myst 2021. I wonder if it’s possible to mod Artus’ Riven 2024 model into Myst 2021. That would at least dampen the jarring transition from the old fmvs to 3d model.

I immediately think D'Ni.

No?

Hi all again, I had to create a new post so I could add my updated scribble. Please someone tell me if I am on the right track with this. I don't understand how what the order of the totems are when the last stone lifted has to be no.6 when there is obviously an 8 in the mix. Any help would be great fully appreciated, I am pulling my very thining hair out with this!!! Cheers,
