Summary: Myst: Masterpiece Edition is as close to the 1993 experience of playing Myst as you can get. You will be able to interact with objects via click-and-drag, and move through the world via point-and-click navigation. This edition features improvements over the original 1993 release such as re-rendered imagery in 24-bit color, a remastered score, and enhanced sound effects. In the game, players travel via a special book to the island of Myst. There, players solve puzzles, and by doing so, travel to four other worlds, known as Ages, which reveal the backstory of the game's characters.
