## What is Myst Mobile?

Welcome to Myst: a starkly beautiful island, eerily tinged with mystery and shrouded in intrigue. Available now, to download and begin your adventure FOR FREE!

Journey to Myst Island and begin to unravel the mystery you have been thrust into. As you learn what happened on the island, you will find yourself playing a key role in an epic story whose ending has not yet been written.

The island is full of secrets – learn your surroundings and discover what you can interact with. Each puzzle you solve will bring you closer to exploring more of the island, and reveal methods to reach other stunning and surreal worlds called “Ages”.

With an in-app purchase to unlock the other Ages of Myst, you will see even greater challenges await you, and discover deeper connections and puzzles that Myst has to offer. Uncover a story of ruthless family betrayal, and make choices that will affect both you, and the world of Myst itself.

For those who are already familiar with Myst, this version is built from the ground up and available to play in real-time 3D. It’s teeming with new art, new sound, re-imagined interactions, accessibility options, localization for many different languages, and even optional puzzle randomization.

### 1/5 — ITS NOT FREE

*2026-07-26*

They are liars

### 1/5 — I’m lost

*2026-07-12, version 1.9.3*

I had this game 30 years ago on my PC and was frustrated then. This is the same. 
No hints of tutorial jumped out at me and I’m not going to seek out some cheats or short cuts. 
I wasted my time again.

### 1/5 — Jogo é pago

*2026-07-12*

Colocam como grátis só pra aumentar os downloads, mas  ele é pago. Muito desonesto isso.

### 1/5 — terrible game

*2026-07-03*

I would not pay $22 for this game.  the free mode is so glitchy none of trigger work correctly when you the puzzles.  the first message never plays.  it’s a pity I would have paid to continue but the free version is so terrible I’m too scared the rest of it is this bad!!

### 4/5 — Ничего не понятно

*2026-06-12*

Ничего не понятно, нет никаких подсказок, зато есть какие то рычажки  возле каждого здания которые ничего не делают, а ещё текст сильно быстрый (тот который говорит персонаж)

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2026-06-06, version 1.9.3*

Terrible unplayable game.

### 1/5 — Pas de son

*2026-06-06*

Téléchargé car j'y ai joué ado, mais pas de son. Dommage
Suis sur iPhone 16e

### 5/5 — That’s myst 📖!!!

*2026-05-21*

Obduction is the best cyan game after myst

### 1/5 — Deleted

*2026-05-16, version 1.9.3*

Why is there no tutorial? I deleted it within 10 minutes. Could find no game settings. I am bummed - it looks like a great game, but not if you have zero understanding.

### 3/5 — Abandoned Game

*2026-05-16, version 1.9.3*

Hasn’t been updated in 3 years. I paid the unlock fee over a year ago. I bought a new iPad and installed it on it. The restore purchase button doesn’t work. I emailed the developer 2 weeks ago now and have yet to receive a response. Update. After leaving a review here the button worked. No feedback. I guess they just fixed it.
