Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

98/100

realMyst is more than just a port; it is the definitive way to experience one of the most important games in history. For those who remember the static screens of the 90s, seeing the island of Myst in a fully realized, real-time 3D environment is breathtaking. You can now walk through the fog, watch the sun set, and see the trees sway as you ponder the game’s legendary puzzles.

The tactile nature of the mobile controls actually enhances the experience. Pulling levers and turning pages with your fingers feels more intimate and 'real' than clicking a mouse. It preserves the lonely, haunting atmosphere that made the original a classic while removing the technical limitations. If you love environmental storytelling and challenging logic puzzles, realMyst is an essential piece of software.

realMYST for iOS - Experience Myst in a way that’s closer to real than you’ve ever imagined - in realtime 3D and up close and personal on your iPad or iPhone. You've got to experience it to believe it!

Here are a few comments from realMyst players...

"Best ipad game ever!"

"Better than the original"

realMyst is all-things Myst, but amazingly more real. You can explore anywhere, unfettered, and in realtime! Pick your own path through the forest on Myst Island. Look lazily upward into the Channelwood Age trees. Relax next to the rippling fountain as the sun sets in the Selenitic Age. Spin around for a full panoramic tour of Sirrus’ throne room. Seek shelter from the thunderstorm in Stoneship Age.

And what could possibly make that experience even more real? Now you can have all of that on your iOS device with nothing between you and Myst but the touch of your finger - the sheerest of interfaces between you and the surrealistic island adventure that will become your world.
