Myst V released at budget price
September 4, 8:49 AM
Can you do the right thing by a shattered empire? Can you make the right decision and save those affected by years of torment? Buy the final instalment of the Myst® series and the fate of a civilisation is in your hands…
Embark on the final leg of an epic journey which has spanned over a decade. Myst® V: End of Ages is here!
Ideal for those that enjoy a game where you have to think and explore, because think and explore you must do!
You begin the game in a seemingly empty room, but after thorough investigation discover everything is not as it seems. Presently you will meet the characters Yeesha and Esher who will in turn explain what you must do, and help you along the way.
Your quest: recover four stone tablets scattered through the different ‘ages’ in the game. These tablets will activate a fifth, all-important one. You decide the fate of this final tablet when the game reaches its conclusion.
In the meantime however, there are four beautiful and exciting worlds to check out. Gorgeous sandy beaches and dark, cavernous tunnels, they’re all here!
With various puzzles to complete and such an abundance of land to cover, you’re going to be kept busy for hours. This game, though suitable for both fans of the series and newcomers, is not for the faint-hearted.
