Myst Hints

A lot of the things I see in the game aren't covered in this file!

  • Many of the things you can look at and use in MYST are not essential to the progress of the game.  In fact, many of them are just window dressing and are completely unrelated to the real puzzles.  If you don't see something mentioned in this file, you can safely assume that it's not all that important.
