“As soon as I heard about the Oculus Rift, this game franchise came to my mind,” writes IGameArt. “How amazing would it be if I could actually ‘link’ to the ages of Myst, exploring them and feeling the way I imagine the stranger who came across those mystical books must have felt the moment he touched the linking page and was sucked into a new world?”

“That is Myst Island, granted, it doesn’t look quite right,” he says. “It's considerably more run down. The major elements are all there, the terrain, the architecture, but the flora is decrepid.
