Is it still worth playing?

Presto Studios' 2001 graphic adventure, the third Myst game, in which you chase a mysterious thief who stole the book of an Age that Atrus wrote. Atrus can create links to other worlds, called Ages, by writing books. Those Ages are pre rendered, and you move through them by clicking between set points, with a free look that gives a 360 degree view at each one. An optional zip mode skips across explored areas. Clicking also handles objects and items, with a cursor that changes to show what can be done and an inventory along the bottom of the screen. The puzzles are tied to the theme of each Age, and often ask you to watch how things in it interact and adjust the links between them. Ages that are easy to wander, with puzzles found by watching them closely, still make it worth exploring today.
