Cyan, the studio behind the category-defining game, rebuilt the game specifically for modern monitors and [virtual reality headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-classics-virtual-boy), so that players can "explore the Ages of Myst in an entirely new dimension." On the Quest platform, players can experience aspects of the nostalgic gaming experience in a fresh new way as they hunt for clues, [solve puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-puzzled) and complete challenges. Thanks to [virtual reality, players can interact](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hitman-world-of-assassination) with in-game objects like never before when they pick up books, pull levels and open doors to move between settings. Soon, Cyan has plans to include an in-game note-taking feature so that players can keep track of what they piece together.
