Cyan Worlds has released a complete version of the classic adventure game Myst, for iPhone and iPod touch. The hefty 730MB download promises to deliver the complete world of Myst, in all its original elegance, in the palm of your hand. The game is said to boast even better visuals than those in the original Myst.

On the iTunes App Store, the official description goes as follows:

Remember how the surrealistic island became your world? The note, the garden, the books, the pages, the brothers, the choices? Now Myst can become your world, no matter where in the world you are.

The original Myst sights and sounds have been meticulously re-assembled for a remarkable experience on the iPhone and iPod touch. Everything that you remember from the original Myst in a format where a simple touch or swipe moves you through the world.

Welcome back to Myst... wherever you are!

Cyan Worlds mentions key features of Myst for iPhone and iPod touch, including:

• All the original Ages & gameplay;
• High-quality images (better than original Myst);
• Full music & sound effects;
• Original movies & animations;
• Auto-save (when quitting or phone call);
• “Bookmark” system to save & restore progress;
• Swipe to turn;
• Auto-zoom in certain close-up areas;
• Quick access to hint guide;
• Works with iPhone 3G, the original iPhone, and iPod touch.

The game's maker has also provided a hint guide that may jump-start the gamers' adventure. However, those who download Myst intending to make the most of their experience should use these hints with caution. According to the developer, “Myst is meant to be savored. Take your time and enjoy the journey. They don’t call these kind of things 'spoilers' for no reason – they can steal away a little satisfaction.”

The developer also urges iPhone and iPod touch owners to note that Myst for iPhone & iPod touch is a very large application, leading to longer download and syncing times. Also, because of the way the iPhone and iPod touch install apps, they will need to have about 1.5 gigs of free space to install Myst. As soon as the installation is complete, the extra space is given back as free (usable) space.
