Wow, this showed up on Myst Blogs sooner than I expected (Thanks, Denis!).
For those of you just joining us, this is a live attempt to turn Myst into a piece of interactive fiction — that is, a text adventure. You type commands, I type responses. The goal is to someday turn all our results into an actual downloadable, playable text adventure.
I’ll be following the real game closely most of the time, but I have some planned diversions and retcons in the works.
I started this a few months ago, but I quickly shamefully abandoned it after some hard-to-diagnose technical problems. This time we’re on Tumblr so I can focus on the writing, not administrivia.
I’ll post the results of the previous command some time later today; from there, it’s all yours!
