It is my great pleasure to introduce you to my newest puzzle map: ISLE OF MYST. It is of course a reimagining of the classic game: Myst. In the past, I’ve recreated great landmarks and cities from other videogame genre’s but this is the first time that I’ve been able to fully recreate (albite having some limitations of budget and scripting) an entire game. I did my best to keep all the aesthetics as close as possible to the original, with a few alterations here and there in order to seamlessly weave halo’s mechanics with my puzzles. For those of you who have never played Myst before, this puzzle map usually takes people around 45-60 minutes to complete. I hope you enjoy your time on my island. Make sure to check out the “Important Tips” section below before you proceed.

Isle of Myst: The Story

You’ve discovered a magical book that instantly transports you to the deserted Isle of Myst, where you must solve the island’s puzzles in order to discover the underlying dark secrets. In their travels, players will visit four different worlds known as “Ages”. Located through portals, you’ll visit the Mechanical Age, Channelwood Age, Stoneship Age, and Selenitic Age. Your goal is to collect 1 red and 1 blue page from each age to complete the respective books located in the island’s library. These “linking” books are traps that hold two dangerous sons of Atrus, Sirrus and Achenar. It is up to you if you decide to free them or not. You will know it’s the end when you see the “win” symbol. Good luck escaping the island!

*Important Tips*

- Again the goal is to find the missing red and blue pages located in each Age in order to escape.
- Make sure to turn your VOLUME UP! There is a puzzle that relies on sound in order to solve them.

Special thanks to everyone who has tested it over the past week and brought it to this point, as it’s taken a long time to make this map consistently playable.
