Cyan Worlds has created a new version of the classic adventure-game ‘Myst’ for the iPad, this time it’s called ‘realMyst’. The new version of the game offers a completely overhauled UI and new features designed to reimagine one of gaming classic titles. 
 
Cyan Worlds created a “realtime 3D version of Myst”, the 1993 classic game is getting reborn in the latest remake. In a prepared statement sent to the press, Cyan Worlds states the new ‘realMyst’ “shakes that original adventure forward – updating the journey to a state-of-the-art experience. The realtime 3D environment allows for complete freedom of motion and viewing – with seamless movement from place to place. The elegant touch control provides an almost invisible connection to the worlds of Myst”.
 
“This is not your father’s Myst,” said Rand Miller, founder of Cyan Worlds. “To explore the islands and Ages of Myst in realtime… it’s an amazing feeling. So much went into creating this experience – years of development, almost a gigabyte of textures, models, sounds, music, and video. This is a must-have App.”

The ease of the realMyst interface belies the challenge that Cyan faced of creating a simple and elegant way for players to explore a 3D environment on a touchscreen device. “Instead of trying to awkwardly shoehorn a computer mouse interface or game console controller into the new touch environment – we were driven to design a simple touch interface that anyone could use.” said Karl Johnson, Producer on the project. “The resulting interface allows the player to explore a 3D world with the ease of ‘exploring’ a 2D document on the iPad.”
 
The realtime version also makes possible visual enhancements such as rippling water, waving branches, falling rain, moving clouds, and more. And the audio also benefits from realtime with sounds that emanate from specific locations and react realistically as the player explores. The addition of a new Rime Age provides a reward for completing the journey.

For a short time during the 19th anniversary of Myst, realMyst is being launched at a special price of $6.99US. It is available immediately for the iPad 2 and the new iPad on the iTunes App Store. For owners of other iOS devices the original Myst is available on the App Store for $4.99US.
