Thank you for reading it, and for sharing your own perspectives! I also played the Myst games with my family. My mom had much more patience for the puzzles than I did, haha.

In my early 20's I resolved to sit down and play through the entire series up to that point all by myself, including the Ubisoft games and Uru. I had a largely wonderful time and a lot of it finally clicked for me. While I think it's cool that Cyan is still around making stuff, I'd love to see them pull a Thimbleweed Park and go a bit more "lo-fi" again one day.
