Pyst - A Complete Retrospective

Myst took the world by storm in the early to mid 90s, quickly entering the pop-culture zeitgeist. The 1993 point-and-click adventure immersed players with intriguing landscapes and challenging puzzles.
It was only natural then, with Myst on everyone’s lips, that some would take the opportunity to satirise the latest fad. Enter Pyst, a game for those that weren’t able to complete Myst.
