That same year brought the first 3D remake that plays like a normal first person game we all know today, and then in 2014 it was remade again on Unity engine, combining both the original 2D style with an updated 3D style. The game was first remastered in 2000, being a higher fidelity version of the original 2D game. It was a pioneer both in technology and in game design, for both puzzle and adventure games. This is how a detailed first person environment had to be done in 1993.
The original Myst used pre-rendered environments (renderings), and it is presented in such a way that makes it look like the player teleports through them. This remake also contains a randomized puzzle mode, something that is a nice benefit for those who played Myst previously. Yet this remake isn’t a VR exclusive – it was a timed Oculus exclusive (think of it as Oculus users beta testing it), but now it is available for SteamVR and also just normal PC gaming (Windows and Mac but not Linux). So why has it been remade again? The distinguishing factor for this remake is VR, which is a natural fit for all the games in the Myst series. There is a Myst for every graphics generation. It is on probably every platform you can think of, it has been remade several times before and now we have another remake. But Obduction should have had some kind of camera function or somthing so you could photograph clues or something.Myst was a 1993 classic and the best selling PC game until 2002. I could excuse this in Myst because it was already doing everything it could with the technology available at the time.
So instead of just noodling hard on the puzzle, everything is broken up with laborious travel. Then you wonder if maybe you're looking in the wrong place. "Hmmm, maybe it's saying this?" So you walk all the way over there and try that. It doesn't work, so you have to trudge back over there and see if you were missing something. Instead, you'll find something you *think* is a clue, or you think you might have a way to interpret the clue, and so you traverse to the other side of the map to try it out. And the solutions aren't obvious enough that you can immediately say "oh this is clearly the answer to that puzzle there" and then go over and solve the puzzle. So like, the clue to a puzzle on one side of the map will be found in a book somewhere else. The problem is that they don't have an inventory system. So, Myst (and later Obduction) are both difficult/obtuse puzzle games.
