Game Description:
Myst IV: Revelation is the fourth installment in the Myst video game series, developed and published by Ubisoft. Revelation was the first game in the series released on a DVD-ROM format; a multiple CD-ROM version was not produced as it would have taken twelve compact discs to fit the data. Like Myst III: Exile, Revelation combines pre-rendered graphics with digital video, but also features real-time 3D effects for added realism.
The plot of Revelation ties up loose ends from the original Myst. The player is summoned by Atrus, a man who creates links to other worlds known as Ages by writing special linking books. Almost twenty years earlier, Atrus' two sons nearly destroyed all of his linking books and were imprisoned; Atrus now wishes to see if his sons' imprisonment has reformed them. The player ends up traveling to each brother's prison, in an effort to recover Atrus' daughter Yeesha from the brothers' plot.
Development of Revelation lasted more than three years; Ubisoft had as many as eighty employees working on the game. Musician Peter Gabriel lent his voice and a song to the game's audio; the original score was written by Exile's composer Jack Wall. Overall, reception to the game was positive; reviewers lauded the impressive visuals, sound, and puzzles. Publications such as Computer Gaming World took issue with the control scheme of the game. Revelation is the last game in the Myst series to use both prerendered backgrounds and full-motion video; the final game in the series, End of Ages, is rendered in real-time throughout.
Myst IV: Revelation is an adventure game in which the player experiences gameplay from the eyes of an unnamed protagonist referred to as the Stranger. Players explore interactive worlds known as Ages by using the mouse or keyboard, solving puzzles and uncovering the game's narrative. Players cannot move freely across each Age; instead, as in the previous games in the Myst series, they travel by clicking set locations called "nodes", where players can rotate their view in any direction. Revelation also features a "Zip" mode, which allows a method of rapidly crossing explored areas by skipping intermediate nodes; areas that can be instantly traveled to are stored as thumbnail representations for rapid movement across Ages.
The mouse cursor helps to provide visual cues for player actions and movement. The cursor appears as a hand that changes depending on what the player is hovering the cursor over. For example, to move in a direction, the cursor changes to point in the intended direction. If players can view an item in greater detail, the cursor changes to a hand holding a magnifying glass. By clicking and dragging the cursor, the player performs actions such as pushing, pulling, and tapping items.
Revelation features several gameplay enhancements that aid puzzle solving and plot progression. Early in the game, players receive a camera, which can be used to take screenshots or pictures of clues. Players can use an on-screen journal to jot down notes instead of having to write down clues as with previous Myst games. Much of the game's story is revealed via flashbacks triggered by an amulet that has the power to relay memories attached to objects. Zip mode, the amulet, the camera, and the journal are available via a menu on the bottom of the game screen.

Atrus: "Oh, and look after my daughter for me."
--*Ka-BOOOM!*--
Stranger: "Eh, kid's either fine or hamburger, guess I'll go play with Atrus's gadgets instead of look for her."
12:45 You can add notes to photos.
Atrus' name appears on the family tree twice because he has the same name as his grandfather. However, the names are usually romanized differently for clarity, with his grandfather's name being spelled "Aitrus". If you use the D'ni Alphabet key in Yeesha's textbook to romanize names, they will usually not be spelled the same as how they generally have been romanized in-game or in the novels:
Akenahr => Achenar
Sirus => Sirrus
Yeeshah => Yeesha
Kathrin => Catherine
Aytrus => Atrus
Ti'ahnah => Ti'ana
Gen => Gehn (I think this one is so English speakers don't assume it's pronounced "Jen"...and it just looks a little better as a villain's name for some reason, lol)
etc...
There are multiple ways to romanize any language that uses a different alphabet though, and sometimes "eh" and "e", for example, can be used to represent the same sound (and D'ni letter, which looks a bit like 'w'). The choice of how to romanize is mostly about getting the reader to pronounce it correctly since the name isn't actually spelled using the Roman alphabet at all.
One strange decision they made was to romanize 'Th' and 'th', with the former representing a voiceless 'th' as in 'with' and the latter representing a voiced 'th' as in 'this'. It's a bit backward and not how these sounds are usually romanized. Usually a voiceless 'th' is represented as 'th' and a voiced one is represented as 'dh', which makes a whole lot more sense as 'd' is a voiced 't'. But if I were to romanize using a capital letter, I would do that for the voiced one, not the voiceless one.
It's funny that Keith finds things that I never did and gets super focused on it like it's really important but misses things that I think are really obvious.
Keith, Keith!!! The upper part of the gameplay view is missing
I was concerned about the contrast and brightness in that one room. Thankfully their was a light :)
The family tree is upside down and staggered. The paternal lineage is on the trunk of the tree. At the top (from left to right) we find:
Achenar (Akenahr), Sirrus (Sirus), and Yeesha (Yeeshah).
Below Yeesha is Catherine (Kathrin);
Below Catherine and in the middle is Atrus (Aytrus);
Below Atrus and to the left is Keta (Ketah) -- Atrus' mother;
Below Keta and in the middle is Gehn (Gen) -- Atrus' father;
Below Gehn, and to the right is Ti'ana (Ti'ahnah) -- Gehn's mother / Atrus' grandmother;
Below Ti'ana and in the middle is Aitrus (Aytrus) -- Gehn's father / Atrus' grandfather;
Below Aitrus and to the left is Tasera (Tahserah) -- Aitrus' mother / Gehn's grandmother / Atrus' great-grandmother;
Below Tasera and in the middle is Kalis (Kahlis) -- Aitrus' father / Gehn's grandfather / Atrus' great-grandfather.
Set the cursor "hand" to its default color and transparency, so you can clearly see when cursor change to "hand with magnifier" and etc.
And please Keith, little less contrast and more brightness, its to dark.
THEY LIVE
Wait, I played through this game, and I never knew about the telescope! How?
At 13:31 is a bird singing the halo theme?
"Liquid gases"
Enjoying the LP so far Keith but your capture is a bit too dark and contrasty and the top is cut off. And I'm not that fond of the depth blur.
good luck
