Just a heads up review.

Game does not work on Windows 10.
Windows 7 was barely supported.


Otherwise, it's a blast, primarily if you played Myst back in the day.
Getting to see it in a different light is pretty fun.
See other reviews for more in-depth, just wanted to give the support heads up.

Hmm.
I hadn't considered quicktime... mainly because, well. Quicktime. lol
I'll give that a go later. Cheers

Using an old version of quicktime (4.12) has allowed some people who had additional issues to get it to run, try this, in compatibility mode disable visual themes, run as admin, xp sp3. You can get quicktime 4.12 from here, you will need to uninstall another version if you have one(quicktime is no longer supported on windows so reason to keep a newer one either way);

Thank you, Noita. =)

Unfortunately I have tried forcing multiple variations of compatibility mode.
I think the game just freaks out with some specific hardware combinations mixed with Windows 10 with no luck so far. :(

Try using compatibility mode.

[whatever drive you have it on C for most people] -> Program Files [It might be Program Files (x86)] - Steam -> steamapps -> common -> realMyst. That could be entirely wrong depending on where you installed it to, but basically you have to find the realMyst folder. Within that folder, find the application. It should end in .exe. Right-click it and select properties. Click on the compatibility tab, try setting it to win xp service pack 3, if that does not fix the problem also try vista and me.

If that did not work try isolating the game to one processor, that seems to work for some computers.
Run the game, tab out and open task manager with crtl-alt-delete. Go to the processes tab and select realMyst.exe, right click it and choose "Set Affinity..." Uncheck all the CPUs except for the first one, which should be CPU 0.
