MYST!

It is now 2:05 PM in the afternoon. I just bought one of the 6 puzzle-adventure game of all time, MYST!



What is it about? It is a game that puts the player in the role of the Stranger, who uses a special book to travel to the island of Myst. There, the player solves puzzles and travels to other worlds known as "Ages." Clues found in each of these Ages help to reveal the back-story of the game's characters. The game has several endings, depending on the course of action the player takes.

The game did not age well in terms of graphics, but the puzzles still confuse many gamers to date! That's what makes Myst a special puzzle game that could last for decades. 


Get the Masterpiece edition for the great graphics, and easy controls that help modern users who aren't used to the point-and-click style. That's the free-roam mode. If you have been a fan of the game series for years, use the classic-myst mode and experience the game like it's 1993!

Want more games from the makers of Myst, Cyan? Visit those legendary devs and explore all their old/new games at their site!


For my readers who expect all posts here to be related to the blocky game, sorry. Quite a surprise, eh? Well, get over it. After all, I am a gamer, not some obsessed Minecraft veteran 😉

Investigating Hayao Miyazaki's "Rin the Chimney Painter"

Introduction Spirited Away is my personal favorite film of all time, it is one of Hayao Miyazaki's great masterpieces that once sat on the top of the box office revenue for about 20 years ($395 million) and had gone on to win many awards including the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film at the 75th Academy Awards in 2003. Little do people know that this fantasy film, which is now considered a classic of anime cinema, had gone through many phases of development during production. In May 2001, a few months before Spirited Away's release in Japan, Miyazaki was interviewed in which he mentions the earlier incarnations of the film. Here's the quote translated from the original Japanese to English by Ryoko Toyama, edited by Team Ghiblink, sourced from Nausicaa.Net : "There is a book for children, "Kirino Mukouno Fushigina Machi (A Mysterious Town Over the Mist)" (by Sachiko KASHIWABA, published by Kodansha). It was published in 1980, and I wondered if I c...

My review of Peter Wessel Zapffe's "The Last Messiah"

After reading Emil Cioran’s ideas, particularly The Trouble With Being Born , I decided to step a few decades back to see what his Norwegian predecessor, Peter Wessel Zapffe, thought of humanity’s chaotic existence. Zapffe’s essay proved itself to be quite a thoughtful read. One night in long bygone times, man awoke and saw himself. He saw that he was naked under cosmos, homeless in his own body. All things dissolved before his testing thought, wonder above wonder, horror above horror unfolded in his mind. Zapffe’s decision to employ the essay format to convey his nihilistic perspective on humanity is undoubtedly effective. In short, he considers the human consciousness, in its developed, post-ape state that we’ve had for many thousands of years now, as a tragic accident. It is what Zapffe calls  “a biological paradox, an abomination, an absurdity, an exaggeration of disastrous nature.” Zapffe observes that, in order to combat the existential dread of being so conscious of life, as...

Three personal diary entries

I have written a lot of stuff in my personal diary, most of which are meant to express my desires or my most controversial thoughts. Today, I present three entries from the diary that I find most profound. I feel that these entries are certainly worth your time reading. Most of my entries are just so lame and makes me sound like a crybaby who couldn't figure out his feelings. But not these three entries, they are personal, sure, but they also reveal some of what I originally had in mind for the blog - I guess you could say that these entries are the "prototypes" of my upcoming posts. Haha! Anyway, that's enough from me. I will now let the diary speak. See you in the next post! ~ Bal Masque ~ October 12, 2021:      I would like to talk about antinatalism. Antinatalism, or anti-natalism, is an ethical view that negatively values reproduction. With the increase of the world population to about roughly 8 billion people, we need to remind ourselves of why we’re here. More ...
