A charming Myst journal

Amazingly, my dad just found our original save files for Myst—I love that you can tell I didn’t get to endgame until I was prepping to play Riven in 1997, and that dad named his endgame file “Syztem Reset” to keep @hummeline.bsky.social and I from accidentally opening it:

You can see the ‘94-‘97 time jump in my Myst notes as well, where I proudly claim “I’m eleven!!” right as the handwriting gets a whole lot better

extremely excited to announce my new 30th Anniversary poster for Myst, available over at store.cyan.com 📚 This imagery has been indelibly inscribed on the inside of my eyelids since I was a kid, so it was an absolute joy bringing it to life in a more official capacity:
