This, as recent history has shown, was not the winning idea that Cyan thought it would be. Uru, on the other hand, was born out of the hubristic proposition that you could create a Massively Multiplayer Online Adventure Game. Riven was to be more of the same, but bigger and better in a multi-million dollar adventure game spanning five CDs. Not only is the first Myst a perfect example of a small team creating a masterpiece and a runaway hit, but it also gave birth to an entire subgenre of adventure games.
The original Myst is the game that started it all. This leaves us with three very important titles: the original Myst, its sequel Riven, and the tragically visionary MMO Uru. Myst V, while developed by Cyan, was a kind of “farewell gift” to longtime fans, made up of unused concepts meant for Uru. For that reason, they feel a little bit… off.
#MYST 3 HIDDEN CAT LICENSE#
Two Myst games were developed under license by other companies: Myst III was developed by Presto Studios (makers of The Journeyman Project) while Myst IV was developed by Ubisoft Montréal. There are actually six games in the Myst series, but only three of those are especially relevant, as they are all masterpieces in their own right and ended up defining Cyan as a company.
