Great lively game to consume hours and hours of your life.

Warning, to finish this game takes much time, skill, and maybe even help .

Myst IV is the most realistic game I've ever played. With green screen acting, actors are made to realistically fit onto fantasy background world.

Without spoiling it, I can say that this game revolves around the same story line as in Original Myst game. So if you've played original Myst and enjoyed it, you are bound to love this game. This game includes original D'ni civilization writing and Books that Link a person to other worlds.

Music by Jack Wall and Peter Gabriel in a 360 degree view keeps the game nice and playable for many hours. If you are like me, you'll get tired of some of the puzzles and either take a break for a while or use help system.

There is a camera to use in game so you don't have to take many notes. Just take photos of what you think will be useful.

Yeesha, or Juliette is the main character other than the player and boy is she a great actress. She is the one who keeps you glued to this game for so many hours. Although she didn't write the story line, she makes the story.

Rand Miller plays Atrus, Yeesha's father.

If you like puzzles, this game is for you. This game is mostly puzzles.

Here is hoping another game with living beautiful actors and actresses happens some time in the next ten years.

The ending made me cry. I guess it was the ending plus Peter Gaibriel's song, Curtains.
