PS1 port of Cyan's Myst point-and-click adventure. Contemplative exploration of a mysterious island with deep environmental puzzles. Technically impressive for its era, unique atmosphere. Less convenient on console than PC but the enigmatic and immersive experience remains intact.

A PlayStation port of Cyan's famous adventure game, Myst plunges the player onto a mysterious island made of worlds linked by books, where observation and solving mechanical puzzles lead to uncovering the secret of a torn family. The contemplative atmosphere, the sumptuous pre-rendered settings and the heavy silence create a hypnotic experience. The still image navigation and the lack of hints have aged. An adventure classic for fans of puzzles and worlds to explore alone.
