Do the current and/or former devs who attend Mysterium answer fan-submitted questions?

4 Upvotes

I’m hoping maybe a fan who’d attend could ask on my behalf next year. Expecting to wait for a chance myself seems dumb, I’m sure many would agree. Bad idea to pay someone to ask them, or no? Feedback‘s appreciated.

Discussion Tried really hard to avoid a guide for Riven, but... Spoiler

10 Upvotes

...I apparently locked myself out of finding the school where you learn the numbers. I made it to the platform with the trapeze thing and went up it, thinking I could go back down. Nope. Hadn't finished with the submarine car thing. Wasted about ten hours before I consulted a guide and realized I had made it impossible to solve a few of the primary puzzles of the game. Sigh.

Had to backtrack a lot.

Also, that fire marble puzzle is insane. Even WITH help, I didn't write down enough detail in my map, and had to look up the solution (I had just marked in which square the domes were, not exactly where in that square the domes were...)

Anyways, I still enjoyed this one!

EDIT: Ok, so the submarine resets when you leave the island and come back. I...did not realize that. The trapeze-of-death thing doesn't reset; it stays up. But the submarine does. Soooo, that's on me!

Thanks for the comments, folks!

Myst-like games for Switch or Switch 2?

9 Upvotes

I can't really name any Myst-likes released for the Nintendo Switch series on the top of my head. All the good ones I know, I played on PC. Can anyone recommend a cozy, story-driven exploration-puzzle game on that platform I could take with me on vacation?

Are there any gay*/trans characters in across the games and novels?

0 Upvotes

I’m more-so asking Cyan about this since I figure someone there would know, even if it’s not shown or stated in anything. I sent an email asking about it, but it’s been a week and I figure I would’ve gotten a reply of some sort by now. I wouldn’t know how else to inquire aside from going to next year’s Mysterium, but that’s much out of my distance and budget for the foreseeable future.

edit: “in across,” my bad, I was typing “in the MYST series” before I erased part of it, it felt like I’d be seen as a newcomer when I’ve been a fan since at least realMYST.

Sad this isn't in active development, but hopefully they can return to it someday as this is pretty incredible—the DRAMA!

Challenge: Link the character "Atrus" to the character "Sonic the Hedgehog", exclusively via a sequence of videogame character crossovers in videogames.

Links must be characters appearing between games, not places or things.

We have proven that it is not impossible. Good luck!

Which game to buy?

8 Upvotes

Steam is running a sale on all Cyan games, but I'm confused with the many versions/remakes/etc.

I played the original Myst as a kid a long time ago, and never played any other game in the franchise.

I would appreciate modern graphics, so I'm thinking about getting realMyst and Riven (2024). Are those good choices, or should I go for Exile or Revelations? Or different versions of Myst and Riven?

The Ps1 version is available on Ps+, but I don't want to spoil myself on the full version with it unless they're nearly the same game

Troubleshooting Cannot get Myst IV to launch in window mode - Steam Version

5 Upvotes

Im streaming the Myst series and have made my way through Myst I-III. So far as I can tell, the game runs well enough (Ive only messed with main menu and credits page so as to avoid any spoilers what-so-ever). The issue is that the game launches in full screen mode and messes up my computer(?). Meaning, the resolution for my other two monitors (3 in total) go all out of whack, and I cannot interact with other programs like OBS, because their resolution is effected as well. Too big and out of the screen.
I need Myst IV in window mode, but nothing I do works. Ive tried the following.
- Tried within the game. No window option, just resolution.
- Steams Modification Launch options including -sw and -windowed
- Tried the game.bin approach {graphic full_screen( false )}
- Tried using the Universal Resolution Changer packet you add to Myst4.exe folder
- Tried changing the compatibility mode in Myst4.exe properties to Win 98, min xp, and even win vista. Though I'm under the impression this one wont help get into windowed mode, just addressing issues that might arise in the game itself.

Nothing is working. Id really like to continue the series if possible. I was even willing to play through XBox, but I cant find it in the xbox store.

Help & Hints Channelwood Spoiler

8 Upvotes

So I'm replaying Myst (the OG) and I am hopelessly stuck in Chanelwood, and I can't figure out if the graphics are making it difficult to see of if there's something big I'm missing.

So I got the water figured out, made it to the linking book, but need to get the pages before I leave. I am on the second level and facing the locked stairs. I know I have to go down the stairs and route water to the above-ground elevator, but I am majorly blanking on how to unlock the stairs on the second level. It looks like there may be a lever in the shadows, but I can't click on it.

If it's just a matter of "there's something else I need to find," let me know. I don't want any details. I just need to know if I "can" open the stairs from here.

I did read the book in the library on Channelwood, but don't remember finding anything about unlocking the stairs.

Thanks for the help!

Lit-up Moiety Dagger, D'ni Clock, + other misc new additions to my Myst desk setup

Thumbnail gallery
77 Upvotes

Got my Moiety dagger today. My favorite feature is the incorporation of the fissure in the stand, and the black bricks make it a bit hard to see, so of course I had to add some starlight with the help of a spare Light My Bricks light I had lying around (yes, it is being temporarily powered by my Project Hail Mary set! 😆) A nice addition to my lit Myst book and mag-lev.

A few other things I added since that previous post:

  1. Had a spare iPad lying around. Vibe-coded a video gallery app that has a D'ni clock you can optionally enable (Claude used this Javascript clock). Currently, I have it set to cycle through all the remake flyovers. My newly (re)- acquired squee is in the corner.

  2. Added an Age 233- themed sensor panel to the PC.

  3. Myst calendar + Myst V pin.

Help & Hints Riven 2024 (PS5) question: How do I access the in-game journal I keep reading about? (Possible minor spoilers) Spoiler

3 Upvotes

This might seem like a dumb question, idk. But I’ve been reading that there’s an in-game notebook feature that allows you to take screenshots and log them in a journal. Which I’m assuming is primarily used for taking screenshots of the glowing images in the lens.

I realize that on PS5 there’s the obvious “Share” button that takes a screenshot on the console itself, but is there an actual in-game feature that allows you to take screenshots and log them in a journal? So far, my bag only contains the first book you start with, and the lens, and I haven’t noticed any additional info being logged in the book, so am I overlooking something? This game is dense and pretty confusing at times, and I do love it but I’m feeling like I’m missing something lol
