    Welcome to Myst: a starkly beautiful island, eerily tinged with mystery and shrouded in intrigue.

    Journey to Myst Island and other stunning, long dormant locations - called "Ages"- and begin to unravel the mystery you have been thrust into. As you learn what happened on the island, you will find that you are playing a key role in an epic story whose ending has not yet been written. Explore deeper connections in these stunning and surreal Ages, uncover a story of ruthless family betrayal, and make choices that will affect both you, and the world of Myst itself.

    Cyan, the indie studio that created the beloved classic, has reimagined Myst.

    Built from the ground up to play both in VR as well as traditional flatscreen displays, Myst is teeming with new art, new sound, re-imagined interactions, and even optional puzzle randomization. Finally... the highly anticipated Myst 2D/VR experience has arrived!

    Now you can explore the Ages of Myst in a new dimension!

    While the pacing may feel slow by modern gaming standards, Myst still succeeds thanks to its captivating narrative, rich sense of mystery, and the satisfaction of discovery. Now enhanced by the option to experience it in VR. If you’re looking for a slower, more thoughtful adventure with intriguing puzzles, Myst remains well worth your time.

    Myst on PS5 is by far the best way to play the seminal puzzler on modern platforms. Whether you decide to tackle it sitting on the sofa or fully immersed using PSVR2, Cyan Worlds has done a marvelous job of updating and rebuilding the game for modern hardware, while still being unmistakably Myst.

    Myst gives a familiar experience a fresh coat of paint, one that has managed to retain its unique appeal across many years and multiple iterations. However, it is still likely to resonate most strongly with a niche audience that will fully embrace what it offers. Others may admire its legacy, but might not feel compelled to see it through the way it was intended.
