That’s a bit of a drag, given that the series started its life on the Mac - but Cyan says getting everything running on the Mac would take resources they “just don’t have.” Cyan notes that while they’ll continue to sell the updated games once the Kickstarter is over, the special box set is a Kickstarter-only deal.Īs arstechnica points out, much of the Myst series is already available for Windows 10 - only Myst III and IV had never been updated for compatibility, as the rights were held by a different publisher. The bad news: most of the games won’t work on MacOS. They’ve updated the games to work on “modern systems, but there’s a bit of a good news/bad news situation there. (For the unfamiliar: in the Myst universe, “Linking books” transport those that touch the book to a far-off destination.) Oh, and they built a friggin’ Linking book, complete with a 800×480 LCD screen that plays video fly-throughs of the game’s environments when the book is opened. Tiers above that include a bunch of real-world goodies, from a recreation of Gehn’s in-game pen/inkwell to original, hand-drawn concept art. $49 gets you digital copies of each game, while $99 gets you DVD copies in a box built to look like a Myst book. realMyst: Masterpiece (the 3D Myst re-make released in 2000).
