It hasn’t been that long since I wrote about Myst coming to the iPhone and now here it is, all ready to download from the App Store.
I am little surprised at the price point, $5.99. Really, that’s it? I was going to buy it anyway and now you just went ahead and made it more affordable. That’s noble, considering Myst for the Nintendo DS is/was retailing around the $20 mark. Cyan really made the right choice by not pricing it at the somewhat standard $9.99 for premium games on the App Store. Most certainly, the diehards would buy it at any price, but at $5.99 Cyan is allowing themselves access to a demographic that has never heard of Myst before but may very well just jump in if its reviews on the App Store keep up (currently 4.5 stars).
The entire adventure of Myst in your pocket for $5.99. I’ll write it one more time, to make it even more profound: the entire adventure of Myst in your pocket for $5.99.
Note: I understand not all users carry their iPhone in their pocket. Some IT people and/or older people (not to generalize) like to wear it on their belt that holds up their trousers, as if it show that at any not so particular moment they may need to easily access their phone. In that case I did not mean to discriminate against you. You too can enjoy Myst on your iPhone, just in your case it would be, “the entire adventure of Myst on your trouser belt for $5.99”.
