Hi all,
We’re thrilled to announce that our “2.0” patches for Myst: Masterpiece Edition, Riven: The Sequel to Myst (1997), and Myst III: Exile are now out on Steam!
The 2.0 patches for all three games contain major quality-of-life improvements, including (but not limited to): more robust controller support, better save game support, and better platform support for both Windows and Mac. This also includes an official Steam Deck verified status for all three titles on Steam.

64-bit requirement note: Please note that this update removes 32-bit support for all three titles. This change really only applies to folks who have been playing these games on extremely old operating systems. If you are one of those users and wish to keep access to those builds, you can find them in the “last_32bit_release” beta branch on Steam or GOG for each game, which should be available without needing to enter a beta code.
If you encounter issues with this latest patch, please contact [email protected].

We’ve been hard at work for the last few months coding, testing, and preparing to ship these changes to you all. Although these changes aren’t necessarily new content updates to the games, Cyan remains committed to continuing to support our legacy games on modern platforms when we’re able to. Riven: The Sequel to Myst was originally released 28 years ago, Myst: Masterpiece Edition was released around 25 years ago (if you ignore the very original release of Myst released 32 years ago), and Myst III: Exile was released 24 years ago.
Every purchase you make of our games goes toward our ability to support our titles years into the future. We consider ourselves outliers in the industry based on our ability and commitment to keep supporting our games for decades, but it is only possible with your support. We sincerely appreciate everyone who has purchased all three of these games and beyond!
There is no better time to experience Myst: Masterpiece Edition, Riven: The Sequel to Myst (1997), and Myst III: Exile. Thank you for your support, and enjoy!

The fan-favorite Age of Rime has been added as a free update to our latest remake of Myst. This new version of Rime includes all-new narrative beats, new lore, and new sights to behold, ensuring that Myst (2021) is now the definitive and complete way to experience the story and worlds of Myst.
Following the completion of the main story in Myst, or upon loading a completed game, a new journey awaits you somewhere on Myst Island.
The Age of Rime introduces players to the snowy, mountainous seascape that Atrus and his family would visit in years past, before the events of Myst and Riven upended their lives. Sweeping vistas, beautiful ice structures, and fantastical natural phenomena await new visitors. This breathtaking new Age also houses a detailed laboratory space where bold experiments were made, delving into the mysterious nature of Linking Books themselves.
You can find Myst here. Myst is also a part of multiple bundles that will provide a discount based on the purchase of other games in them:

Check out our teaser trailer!
This Myst has been fully redesigned and created from the ground up using the Unreal Engine, the same engine we used on Obduction. Many of the puzzles have been reimagined and engineered to include optional puzzle randomization and also keep accessibility in mind.
The pictures speak for themselves, go check them out and wishlist now on Steam
One more thing,
Right now you can get any game from the Myst series for 50% off, and 10% off extra as a part of the Myst 25th anniversary collection if you complete the set. It's a great time to get back into Myst. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/8699/Myst_25th_Anniversary_Collection/

A new Kickstarter launched today for a documentary film on Myst, the landmark 1993 adventure game that helped popularize the CD-ROM format and changed the way people thought about videogames. The film tells the story of brothers Rand and Robyn Miller, who created Myst together in a double-wide trailer home in rural Washington state.
Myst was a smash hit, capturing the attention of Apple's Steve Jobs as well as mainstream media. Brooklyn-based filmmaker Philip Shane met the Miller brothers in 2016 and pitched them the idea of a documentary, and the project has evolved to take in not only the development of Myst, but also some of the contemporaneous tech that made the game possible: Quicktime, Hypercard (a linking format which led to the popularization of hypertext in web development in the 1990s), the Macintosh, and Strata Pro 3D graphics software.
Shane has shot some 100 hours' worth of preliminary footage at Cyan's studios in Washington, and plans on using funds from the Kickstarter to support full production on what looks to be a fascinating slice of games and personal computing history.
Hey all! We just pushed out a small and quick update for Myst:ME on MacOS. All of the supported languages should now work again on the current OS release. Thanks to everyone for the reports and everyone's patience while we got this fixed up!

Past Perfect is a retrospective column in which we look back into gaming history to see whether old favourites are still worth playing today.
I have been rude about Myst for longer than many readers will have been alive. Seriously, I’m talking for 21 years professionally, and six years before that as a hobbyist hater of terrible games. But, today I confront myself with an uncomfortable reality: I’ve not played it in a very long time. I’ve been wrong about other games. What if I’m wrong about Myst? What if my deep-set loathing of this screensaver with levers is based on the opinions of a less advanced earlier iteration of myself?

Thank you for your patience while we were getting this update for Myst: Masterpiece Edition ready for Steam! Thanks too for your support of our games.
We have been working to ready all of the games in the Myst series for the 25th Anniversary of Myst, which happens later this month. Most of the games in the series required compatibility updates, but Myst and Riven needed more than that to run reliably on modern day computers. We partnered up with the ScummVM team and have worked closely with them to bring you this updated version of Myst. Since the game is powered by ScummVM, the user interface looks different than the original release, but has most of the same functionality.
Should you have something you would like to report regarding Myst: Masterpiece Edition, please contact us directly at [email protected]. We would be happy to assist you.
We hope you enjoy playing Myst again :)
Thank you!
The Cyan Worlds Team
Release Notes:
Myst: Masterpiece Edition is now available in 5 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, and Polish. Select the language option of your choice from the menu that appears when you launch the game.
Windows 10 compatibility update
Random crashing fixed!
Known Issues:
The graphics have not been remastered, so there will be a variance in the quality of the appearance of the graphics depending on the size of the display being used. The game starts out in full-screen and can be put into a scalable window by using the Alt+Enter command. Being able to adjust the scaling of the window will help to improve the clarity of the graphics.
Opening sequence book/cursor layering issue: The cursor never appears on top of closed Myst book, nor does it appear when it is open and the fly-by is playing. If you click during the fly-by (no cursor present) you do link to the dock. If you wait for the fly-by to quit playing, the cursor will appear on top of the Myst book and can be used. This behavior is the same as was in the released box edition of the game.
Under some conditions, the user cannot close the map screen with the Esc key. In this case, you will need to click on the map screen itself in order to close it.
