Are you a fan of the Myst series?

In this editorial I define the essence of Myst, and then go on to describe a handful of casual games with Myst-like elements -- games that might provide stop-gap pleasure for anyone who's missing Myst.

Misty-Eyed for Myst? Casual Compensations

Thanks for a great read Becky!

:)Thanks, Becky, for a clever and well thought out article. As one who has played all five MYST games several times, it was nice to read something that doesn't take potshots at those games. My only complaint is that you mentioned at least three games I never heard about and I now need them. I fear I must grab my trusty credit card and go internet-shopping.

Thanks, Becky, for your informative article. I've been playing casual games lately since I can't seem to find any adventure games that catch--and hold--my attention these days.
I've played a couple of the casual games you mentioned; I will look for the others!

Thanks, Becky

Thanks Becky for an interesting & thought-provoking editorial. Having played 3 of the games I'm tempted to buy the other 3 mentioned!
I've never had enough time to invest to progress through the Myst worlds but love the environments & atmosphere. It would be great to have some easier casual games developed specifically for Myst fans & dunces like me!

Hi - And thanks very much for your editorial, Becky !!

Cheers.

Thank-You Becky, I really enjoy reading that editorial because Im now currently playing games HOG games that my friends and family bought me I will try them if they are HOG ... :hug:
TY

Thanks Becky, I to, started this whole adventure game thing with Myst.

Thought provoking things here. Some of those games you mentioned, I will play. I have enjoyed
some of the casual games, but the immersion factor
is not like Myst.

Could be a nostalgic thing.

I have been on a older adventure game time late'ly, with an older computer.

What I find with the older games most ,is the story writing.

Thanks Dunn

Thanks Becky for an excellent and informative read

Nice article Becky and I'm so grateful for the suggestions as well! I've been missing Myst myself on and off over the years, and wishing that Cyan were still making games. Maybe a taste of these will satisfy me---for now.

PS I was just playing one of the earlier Dream Chronicle games the other day and thinking to myself how the graphics reminded me of Myst. I'm so glad that there are more of these games because there is just something magical about them. (Makes me wonder if some game makers have been inspired by Myst as they made these beautiful little games?) sigh....

Nice article Becky... thank you

Excellent Becky. I've got the first 2 Dream Chronicles and hope Dream Chronicles 3 and 4 will be out on Disk! I would love to play them.

Kaki's sister; Both those games (The Chosen Child & Air) are out on a single disk. I just got them as a gift.. Now if they would release the newest AZADA on a disk, the world would be a better place.

Kaki's sister,

I bought the disc at Amazon. They are showing 3 left in stock at the moment. It ships and sold by 1st video for $14.89 + shipping.
