### 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)

### 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.

### 3/5 — Fun but brief

*2026-04-16*

The puzzles are fun but the game is short, so £15 seems pricy for what it is. The controls are a bit of a mess - it seems weird that you can’t move and move the camera at the same time like in other games, and the imprecision of doing things like turning veeeery sensitive dials is a lot harder when you’re not using a mouse. Solid three stars - good game; bit overpriced; could be improved.

### 4/5 — I remember the PC game MYST

*2026-04-10, version 1.9.3*

Hopefully it will be just as fun!

### 4/5 — so fun!

*2026-03-14*

a super fun and charming game with voice acting and character animation reminiscent of ps2 games from my childhood. i haven't played the original games, but found this a great time! to everyone saying it would be impossible without a walkthrough or is too hard..... just say u can't puzzle bro... 
I will say i was pretty underwhelmed by the puzzles after passing the $22 paywall for the full game. for that price i was expecting a little more playtime and content, and for the puzzles to be way way more challenging. The ages puzzles didn't really feel like puzzles at all, more like just running around or trial and error, which was a bit disappointing but i understand this is a rebuild of an already existing game so those puzzles/levels were pre determined by the original and could not really be changed?. regardless of that, i had a great time playing this and the graphics were really charming and honestly impressive for a game run on my little ipad! yay <3

### 3/5 — Fan for life

*2025-12-15, version 1.9.3*

I love this game to death and it looks stunning on my iPhone 17 Pro but Cyan tragically fumbled on the controls on this. They should have taken inspiration from The Witness mobile version which is the perfect way to navigate 3D worlds like this. Unfortunately the controls on Myst mobile feel like driving a car and ruin the sense of exploring new worlds. This is one version I will not be buying.

### 2/5 — Не работает

*2025-12-14*

Отказалась запускаться второй раз. Переустановка не помогает

### 3/5 — Where is the Rime age?

*2025-11-13, version 1.9.3*

Why isn’t the Rime Age in this?

### 1/5 — No node – to – node mode makes this unplayable. PLEASE UPDATE🙏

*2025-10-09, version 1.9.3*

I not only get unbearable headaches from free roam, but it is also very inconvenient,

### 4/5 — Low Resolution

*2025-10-04, version 1.9.3*

Please add an option for resolution, it currently runs at a very low one and doesn’t look great!

### 3/5 — Не оптимизирован

*2025-07-29*

Скачал тк увидел игру моего детства, атмосферную головоломку. Через пять минут iPhone 16 pro нереально раскалился. Пришлось удалить игру

### 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!!

### 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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Джеймс Бонд

*2026-03-18*

х****

### 1/5 — Low Resolution

*2025-11-15*

Please add an option for resolution, it currently runs at a very low one and doesn’t look great! Haven’t had an update in 2 years, newer phones could run this much better!

Also, my graphics settings don’t seem to save, so I need to reconfigure them each time I launch the game

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-10-21*

Won’t even let me on the game I press the app and it kicks me off and I can’t do anything about it don’t download

### 5/5 — That’s myst 📖!!!

*2026-05-21*

Obduction is the best cyan game after myst

### 5/5 — Good one

*2026-04-16*

Played this on my PC when I was a kid and it is such a fun trip playing again. The game holds up and is still trick!

### 5/5 — Great game…but no Rime?

*2026-03-06, version 1.9.3*

Excellent update of an absolute classic for modern mobile platforms. Will Rime be included in a future update?

### 5/5 — Понос Шрека

*2026-01-05*

Супер ядерный понос

### 5/5 — A Challenging Masterpiece

*2026-01-03*

This game is hard when you start out but as soon as you get what you have to do and get in the rythym its by far the  BEST STRATEGIC MOBILE GAME.

### 5/5 — Great rebuild of a must play game

*2025-11-17*

This is a fantastic rebuild of a must play game. I’d never played the first Myst game before, only Myst 3 Exile on the OG Xbox, and was looking for the best and most accessible way to experience it, and this did not disappoint. I just finished this today, without a guide or walkthrough, and my advice to anyone going in is try your best to do the same. Even if you spend a day stuck in one puzzle, it is far more gratifying when you finally try something new and it works. All the answers are in the game. You just need to find them. Also, am I right in thinking there is no bonus age at the end in this version?

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-11-05, version 1.9.3*

Played this completely through with an M1 iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard. The keyboard and mouse controls were perfect and the graphics were amazing.

### 5/5 — Update the game make more realistic

*2025-09-28, version 1.9.3*

I love it so much

### 5/5 — Great remaster of an old game. The graphics are superb and controls are extremely easy to use.

*2025-06-14, version 1.9.3*

5/5 stars. Can we get Riven next?

### 5/5 — Very good!

*2025-04-23*

I bought every version of iOS Myst so far and I guess I’ll be buying another!
It’s great and the controls make it so much more fun to me. 
I don’t understand why other people are complaining about the controls but they probably just are not used to mobile gaming. I find them to be very responsive and nice to use. And the setting you can change however you want. 
And I’ve found the upgrades to be very tasteful. 
So it’s a winner so far in my book… er App Library!

Update. I have the latest and greatest iPhone (17 pro max at this time) and it keeps defaulting the graphics to medium. It handles epic setting perfectly. I find it very annoying to have to change the settings back to epic every time I play

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review!
