Myst V: End of Ages

Description

Myst V: End of Ages is the final wrap-up of the successful Myst saga. It begins several years after the events of Uru, To D'ni, and Path of the Shell. This final chapter starts in the Age of K'veer, where Atrus, the creator of the linking books, lived in both Myst and Riven.

Players of previous Myst games learned of the D'ni, the people whose world died due to wrong-doings and neglect. Meet again an older and discouraged Yeesha, the daughter of Atrus and Catherine, who implores you to reconstruct a powerful tablet comprised of 4 parts. Explore beautiful Ages to find the pieces that will make the whole, solving puzzles which require logic and deduction. Once the tablet is reconstructed, it will be up to you to make the right choice .. Revive the D'ni world .. or destroy it. Three distinct endings can occur depending upon your final decision.

Besides RealMyst, the remake of the original Myst, this is the only game in the series to use real-time 3D which allows you to move fluidly throughout scenery that is alive with movement. Using new technology, facial expressions and movements are rendered by motion-capturing the faces of real actors and actresses as they spoke and then combining the result with the graphically rendered characters.

The interface is mouse-drive in point-and-click fashion traditional to the 4 previous games, but with options to play in "classic" or "free move" mode. An original, fully-orchestrated musical score compliments the gameplay.

Trivia

Mark DeForest helped settle fears that Myst V cannot run on any Windows versions other than 2000 and XP. (Forum message on Myst Obsession web site)

"Even though the specs will save Windows 2000 and XP only, it is more of a support (customer service) issue than a technical issue.

We not only kept the Win 98 and Me code in the Plasma engine, but it was also tested in our QA lab and the code maintained. There were a few bugs that we will have to ship with because of some video card and sound card Win98/Me driver issues, but were isolated to just those cards.

So, what does this mean for Win 98 and Me users? For most of you, the game should run fine. However, if you have trouble and try to call the Ubisoft customer service, they will probably tell you that you are on your own."
