Really been waiting for this one since I finished Real Myst. Almost bought it on GOG.com a few weeks ago, but I'm glad I waited.

The iTunes link above is taking me to realMyst, but I guess that's just because the game isn't out yet in all regions. strivemind Well-Known Member Aug 11, 2010 2,784 2 38 Designer Ottawa, Canada http://www.strivemind.com/ #7 strivemind, Jan 16, 2013 Oh man, can anyone confirm that this is Retina for iPad 3 and 4?

At 1.8 GB, you'll need to free up 3.6+ GB just to install the game!! --DotComCTO JBRUU Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,758 0 36 USA #10 JBRUU, Jan 16, 2013 What is this and why should I get it? syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #11 syntheticvoid, Jan 16, 2013 Yeah, just found out... The IPA is 1.8 GB and installed its 1.9, so you'll need 3.7GB to install if downloading straight to your device. And Riven is the sequel to Myst. A point n click puzzle/adventurer. Definitely a classic. There's vids all over YouTube if you wanna know more. I don't know anyone who isn't familiar with Myst... But if you've never heard of it, even if you aren't into p&c games,I'd recommend checking it out.

I suppose it would be a good idea to start with that before diving in here? Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #13 Appletini, Jan 16, 2013 Last edited: Jan 17, 2013 Bear in mind that if you haven't played any of the Myst series before, the puzzles are little less straightforward, less forgiving and less linear than a lot of adventure games. This isn't a bad thing if you have patience and like working stuff out on your own, but I've known quite a few people who have made a beeline for walkthroughs after less than half an hour in some of the games in this series. This, for example, would not be out be out of place in the Myst series: You walk into a room with a bunch of dials, levers, and buttons, all of which - with the exception of one button - seem to change something in the room around you. You hit the button a couple of times, but still nothing happens. Eventually you head off and a couple of minutes later, on the other side of the island, your keen eye notices that a random tree beside the path seems to have rotated 180 degrees since you last saw it. Now, if you're lucky and the developers were kind, there'll be a some kind of icon or image nearby that will link the tree rotation to the button you pushed, but if they weren't, you'll be expected to figure out on your own that the rotation of a tree is linked to a nondescript button located a mile away. You don't need to play through the series in order, but it is best to do so as each game builds on the previous ones story-wise.

AlexsIpad Well-Known Member Jun 23, 2012 839 0 0 London, England #19 AlexsIpad, Jan 18, 2013 Can you move around freely on this and realmyst? I downloaded the free iPhone version of realmyst and it had horrible graphics and you clicked where you wanted to go, I think it would be much more interesting if you had virtual joystick controls, I don't want to pay £5 if I don't know what the game is like to play. PrayForDeath Well-Known Member Jan 31, 2012 242 0 0 #20 PrayForDeath, Jan 18, 2013 Well realMyst is ipad-only, so you must have downloaded the regular myst for iPhone, which doesn't have free movement. And this isn't realRiven, so you won't have free movement here either. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
