The age is beautifully constructed ... and a letdown. It is not long, ends abruptly (occurring after the original's ending), and really has the feel of being general stuck on as an out-of-place afterthought. The puzzle design in this section is at best uneventhe first discovered puzzle is a clever triumph after a couple of red herring areas, and the final puzzle is a wheezy general letdown with a cruddy payoff. Were the ambient sounds more intense at Rime? general Seems like it, but that could just be me. Some minor but worth-commenting-on touches. The original has a bit of animated butterfly floating by on the main island as one traversed down the path, giving it a whimsical air. realMyst has built in a few more butterflies, and they are a little fancier. The incredible freedom of movement in the environments makes a grave marker accessible on the side of a grassy hill, an homage to a character only a reader of the Myst series of novels would grasp.
