There’s no notepad built into the game, and I found myself reverting to the old pencil and paper method, though saving the game takes only a second, so it’s easy to make a quick dash to the iPod’s standard notepad app if you wish, which is handy for a mobile platform. There are no extra bells and whistles in this version to help you solve them, although there is the iPod’s own screen capture feature for taking a picture to store in your iPod’s photo album.

It’s important to pay close attention to your surroundings, as trial and error is simply not going to work in Myst, with solutions to some of the puzzles hidden in the environment. Such control issues don’t occur very often, however, so it’s rarely a problem. This is most evident in the rocketship on Myst Island, though using its piano and manipulating the corresponding puzzle remain quite fiddly. In some places a zoom feature has been added, automatically enlarging any puzzle requiring more precise movement. Most can be controlled easily, but some hotspots are small and may take a few touches to successfully activate. The puzzles are similarly operated with just a finger, though in some cases it might be easier to use your thumbs or employ both at the same time.

There’s a brief transition as you move between first-person frames, but there’s an option to remove this with a zip mode, which I turned on as the transition effect doesn’t look great and simply slows the game down. All you need is one finger, as you touch the middle of the screen to go forwards and each side to go left or right.
Moving around the different Ages is as simple as you might expect on the iPod Touch (or iPhone). Surprisingly, this version doesn't include the "bonus" Rime Age that appeared as a kind of epilogue in earlier remakes of the game, returning Myst to its original form this time. Linking to the Stoneship Age, the player lands on a very small island, with a prominent wrecked ship fused into the rock, giving the world its name.

The Mechanical Age is one of the smaller ones, featuring a rotating tower where the brothers used to live, and is based more around one large interconnected puzzle than a series of small ones. In the Selenitic Age, the player arrives on a island that’s barren apart from one place where trees still grow and all the puzzles are based on sound, while underneath the island is a potentially torturous maze.

The Channelwood Age is a treetop village, where it is necessary to find out how to power the lifts and navigate its maze-like structure. The four Ages are unique and can be visited in any order, though only once you’ve figured out how to get there. Though you start with practically no information about the world around you or your role in it, the backstory becomes deeply engrossing as you read all the books in the library and pay attention to the clues left by the brothers. It’s up to you to decide who is guilty as more of the story is uncovered, but to progress through each Age there are a series of devious puzzles that have to be solved. Each of the four main worlds contains two coloured pages, one for each son, which reveal more of their pleas for freedom. As the “Stranger” in these lands, it’s up to the player to help Atrus by exploring various “Ages”. A man named Atrus has written these books but is now trapped in another world, and one or both of his sons, Sirrus and Achenar, are responsible. Such linking books prove to be an important feature over the course of the game. If you’re an existing Myst fan, you already know the score, but for those few who still aren’t familiar with the game originally released over fifteen years ago, the story begins when the player is transported to a strange island after reading its description in a book and unwittingly touching the last page. Hoping to get the bad taste of the DS failure out of my mouth, I was glad to discover that Myst on the iPod is both an enjoyable experience and a fitting mobile port of this enduring classic, though if you’re a Myst hater there’s nothing new here that will change your mind. A while ago I reviewed the DS port of Myst, a dire experience which I thought would taint the legacy of the game forever, and yet when I recently got an iPod Touch it was the first game I found myself downloading.
