Myst Hints
I don't like the ending!
1 of 5: Even the proper ending isn't all that exciting. There isn't any closing victory sequence or anything, if that's what you're looking for.
2 of 5: But there are endings that are clearly bad -- you don't want to be trapped.
3 of 5: In other words, don't free either of the brothers. If you do, you haven't found a good ending.
4 of 5: Similarly, you don't want to go to Dunny without the white page.
5 of 5: If you brought the white page to Dunny and Atrus invited you to explore his books, you've finished the game properly.
