Myst

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 for Sega Saturn is currently worth €21.26 loose, €23.38 complete in box, and €39.37 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Myst has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Myst, loose is €21.26 and CIB is €23.38 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Myst is currently worth €21.26 loose, versus €17.53 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
