Myst
Myst is a puzzle adventure game from Cyan that lets you explore a mysterious island and linked Ages in a modern 3D remake.
What is Myst?
Myst is a first-person puzzle adventure game published by Cyan Worlds. It is a modern remake of the original 1993 Myst, rebuilt as a fully explorable 3D experience while preserving the series' focus on environmental storytelling, mechanical puzzles, and quiet exploration. Players investigate Myst Island and several linked Ages, uncovering clues through journals, devices, and observation rather than combat or traditional action systems. The Mac release may appear as an installed standalone game, often through a game storefront such as Steam, and its bundle ID com.cyanworlds.Myst2020 matches Cyan's 2020-era remake branding. The game is notable for optional VR support on supported platforms, updated audiovisual presentation, and puzzle-driven progression that appeals to adventure and narrative game fans. Mac users are most likely to encounter its files in the Applications folder and in per-user support, cache, and preference locations created after installation or launch.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
This is a legitimate commercial game from Cyan Worlds. Its local data is typically limited to saves, settings, logs, and platform-related game files, so the main risk is loss of progress or preferences if related support files are removed.
Recommendation: Keep it if you play Myst or want to preserve its save data and settings. If you no longer use the game, removing the app and any clearly associated user data is usually reasonable, but do so carefully if you want to keep progress.
