Editing What is MYST? (section)

==Advice==
This advice isn't spoilers - it just points out some important points that might make your experience more enjoyable.

===Any general advice?===
* Read everything.
* Touch/fiddle with everything.
* Take notes/pictures.
* When in doubt, see if you can turn on the power.

===What should I be wary of?===
There are a few places where it is easy to miss something; this is common in a lot of point-and-click games. You may have to click all over to find things you can click on. Also, it's very easy to miss a path, turn, or item so keep checking around. 

A common issue is missing that some items or elements in the game can be used multiple ways, some that might not be obvious at first. Make sure that you play with different game items and controls to see what they can do.

===Do I really have to read everything?===
Yes, and no. There is a lot of stuff that is just lore. But there are hints amongst the lore, and there are puzzles where you have to understand the lore to understand the puzzle. You just never know which is which.

===What else should I know?===
* Some of the Myst games have 'zip' modes that can be activated to travel around areas you have been more quickly. This can be very helpful when you need to run back and forth. Check the settings of the games for this.
* Look for settings that turn off or on hint systems, depending on how you want to play.
* Some of the games have long animations that you have to wait on to move on. The first few times you should watch them. But there is usually a key that will skip the animation - this is useful if you are walking past it for the umpteenth time.
* Not every interactable thing is important - they are just flavor. Part of the trick of the game is figuring which things are which.
