Description
In
Myst IV, you learn the fate of the two brothers from
Myst 1 and must search for Yeesha, Atrus' daughter. Sirrus and Achenar have remained trapped in their prison worlds for crimes they have committed. With the disappearance of Yeesha, you must explore the two prison worlds and find her.
Like the previous games in the
Myst series, the gameplay is node based and not 3-D like
Uru.
Myst IV is more interactive than any other previous
Myst game. Using a hand as your cursor, you can push buttons, pull and push things, open and close drawers, or just tap objects. The game also contains a built in hint system with three levels of hints, each level gives more and more help on how to solve a puzzle.
The soundtrack was composed by
Jack Wall with a song by artist
Peter Gabriel.
Myst IV also has the addition of a zip mode, allowing you to quickly travel to places you've been before.
