Cyan, the studio best know for Myst, Riven, and most recently, Obduction, has taken today to tease something Myst related. Myst is often thought of as a PC game, though it did have a run on the original PlayStation, as well as ports to a number of other consoles. A mobile version of the game was released last year to high-acclaim. It was a long time before Cyan’s gaze returned to consoles. Cyan’s recent release of Obduction on the PS4 have this Myst fan and many others looking at the 25-year old classic and yearning for some kind of modern day console release.
Cyan started out by tweeting an image of a single word: “Perhaps.” Now, Myst fans immediately caught on to the quote this was alluding to, and sure enough, over the next 30 agonizing minutes, the full quote was revealed word by word. “Perhaps the ending has not yet been written.” This is the last portion of Myst’s opening voiceover. I realized, the moment I fell into the fissure, that the Book would not be destroyed as I had planned. It continued falling into that starry expanse, of which I had only a fleeting glimpse. I have tried to speculate where it might have landed?I must admit, however, such conjecture is futile. Still, the question of whose hands might one day hold my Myst Book are unsettling to me. I know my apprehensions might never be allayed, and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written.
