Myst is a groundbreaking adventure game that immerses players in its unique environment. Players are presented with no instructions, but soon realize their actions may help individuals trapped in a parallel dimension. The puzzles within Myst do not appear to have much direct connection to the game itself, though they all share a commonality and some can be very challenging. Despite this difficulty, Myst has become immensely popular and spawned several online sites for hints, walk-throughs, and even saved games. Unlike other adventure games of its time, Myst offers no inventory or death; instead it provides an incredibly detailed nonlinear gameplay experience unlike anything else seen before on CD-ROM.
