The game's interface is reduced to a single cursor for navigation and interaction. Through Myst Island, the game is further divided into mini-worlds set in different ages accessed through different books. There are no enemies and it is not possible to die. The game is presented as a series of static scenes where the player acts with the environment by clicking and manipulating objects. Magically transported into the world described in the book, he needs to explore Myst Island and solve its mysteries. Myst is a first-person point-and-click adventure where the player controls a character known as The Stranger.

Now you're here, wherever here is, with no option but to explore. Suddenly your own world dissolves into blackness, replaced with the island world the pages described. But it's just a book, isn't it? As you reach the end of the book, you lay your hand on a page. Reading through its pages provides you with only a description of an island world. You have no idea where it came from, who wrote it, or how old it is. You have just stumbled upon a most intriguing book, a book titled Myst. Myst's look is noteworthy for featuring still images viewed from a first-person perspective, with interaction limited to manipulating a cursor over each static picture.

As you progress in the game, you will find four other books written by Atrus that magically transport you to additional worlds, each offering more interconnected puzzles and clues to the storyline. By exploring the island, you will eventually stumble upon an assortment of puzzles in the form of intricate contraptions, whose secrets can only be unlocked after discovering evidence of their nature. Forgoing the character interaction and inventory-based puzzles found in earlier computer adventure games, Myst places you in a lonely, desolate environment with no obvious indication on where you should go or what you are supposed to do. A book written by a potentially paranoid man named Atrus serves as a portal to an otherworldly place, the island of Myst, in this atmospheric adventure game by developer Cyan.
