A remastered, free-to-try version of the classic game Myst arrives on iOS

techcrunch.com:

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, a newly remastered version of the classic puzzle game Myst arrived today on iOS devices. Myst Mobile, as this new version is called, allows players to begin to explore all of Myst Island for free without a time limit, something never offered before, the game maker notes.

An early desktop gaming hit, Myst once held the title of the best-selling PC game of all time and was later expanded into a franchise. This latest version of the game, however, is based on the most recent port, 2021 Myst, but was built from the ground up to be optimized for the latest generations of iPhone and iPad devices — that is, those using the A12 Bionic chip or above.

By targeting the newer M1 and M2 iOS devices, the company says it will be able to default the game to the highest graphics settings yet, or what it calls the “Epic” settings. That means it’s available to play in “real-time 3D” and includes new art, new sound, reimagined interactions, accessibility options, localization for different languages and even optional puzzle randomization.

It will also support a variety of input options, like touch controls, gamepad, keyboard and trackpad input from Apple’s Magic Keyboard and Smart Keyboard Folios.

Immerse yourself in the reimagined classic with gamepad, touch controls, and Smart & Magic Folio input.
