One of the designers also hinted that new linking books are there to be uncovered in your own exploration and that they will give you personal access to many more ages.
The D'ni Reconstruction Council (DRC) will send you messages to let you know what's going on and will open up new areas to be explored, so that the online world is ever-expanding. You will be able to explore the caverns of the D'ni world, establish small living groups and interact with larger groups of people as the underground world is excavated and reconstructed. But there's more.Ĭyan has developed an online element for continuing your adventure. The single player element of Uru continues the saga of Myst as you, at the request of Atrus' eccentric daughter Yeesha, journey through a variety of ages which are connected to your own "island in the clouds." You will have to solve puzzles and open up new ages as you become more involved in the world of the D'ni. They were able to create links to other worlds (known as Ages) through what they called "linking books." However, their civilization met with a catastrophe and their caverns were left uninhabited and their linking books appeared to have been lost. But what had happened to Cyan? At E3 this year, I found out.įor those of you just joining us, the storyline is focused on the development of the D'ni civilization, which began when they established their underground empire on Earth over 10,000 years ago. Because Myst fans always need a fix (believe me!!), the third installment was farmed out to Presto, who put out a fine title and pushed the availability of the series to the masses through console gaming. Apparently at this point, a concept for the evolution of the series was born that would take over five years in its development. The first two installments of the series, Myst and Riven, were both developed by Cyan Worlds. This year at E3, part of my wish list was fulfilled, as Uru: Ages Beyond Myst moved things to the next level. But I loved the puzzle solving goodness of this series and have never been disappointed in the graphics or the immersive storyline. However, as I am primarily a console gamer, I missed having a body in the third person sense of things and the ability to move within real time. I wanted the console world to appreciate the scope and beauty of this title as much as the PC world did. As a devotee of the Myst series, I was thrilled last year to see the third installment make its way to multiple platforms.
