These may seem like small details, but a few minutes after the game has begun, you can already see that some notes are off-key. A little bit later, in the first moments of the game, Catherine and her baby Yeesha get stuck in a weird three second loop where she throws her baby in the air again and again, while you can hear distressing gurgles coming from the baby.
Jack Wall (who later worked on Jade Empire and Mass Effect 2) was put in charge of Exile’s soundtrack and, while he is extremely competent, his style is a big contrast compared to the other games, despite visibly (audibly?) having tried to stick to similar themes. Furthermore, the video ends in a dramatic crescendo of chanting voices that, while well executed, doesn’t fit the mood of Atrus’s monologue at all. This is strange since there were already photographs in Riven. Those drawings look awkward and very out of place, especially inside a fullscreen video next to a flesh-and-blood human being. First, while the opening FMV is a very high quality shot of Atrus writing at his desk and brooding about the past, what he is actually looking at while pondering are drawings of his family. Playing nut jobs seems to be his thing, since that’s pretty much how he acts here.Īs soon as Exile begins… a few things seem out of place. The role of Saavedro is played by Brad Dourif, who was nominated for an Oscar in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Sadly, the part of Catherine is played by someone new this time. You once again play as the nameless character from the first two games and it’s up to you to get the book back. To get his revenge, Saavedro steals the book of Releeshan, an age meant to be a new peaceful home for the remnants of the D’ni race. Myst III tells the story of Saavedro, a native of one of Atrus’ ages that was wronged by Atrus’ two sons. In other words, instead of navigating from photo to photo, you’re moving from sphere to sphere.

The game still doesn’t allow free movement, but Myst III does allow you to look around in 360° in each spot, much like the third game from Presto’s own series. On the other hand, the fans were clamoring for a sequel, so the job was given to Presto Studios, who were not exactly new to the adventure genre since they had already created The Journeyman Project franchise. After finishing Riven, Cyan was too busy chasing the wild dream that was going to be Uru to have time to make the next numbered installment in the Myst franchise.
