The game offers two install options, a typical 175mb install and a whopping 2.2gb full install. The manual is a skimpy booklet included in the CD-ROM jewel case. Although I usually treasure a big, meaty manual, I found the manual in Myst III to do an adequate enough job of describing the installation and gameplay essentials. Adventure games like this don't necessarily need as big of a manual as some other genres, save for maybe some game and story background information . And, as in previous Myst games, journals and in-game cutscenes that you come across during your journey present and advance the story in Myst III .
Exile continues and builds on the tales of the first two games.
Core to the stories of Myst and Riven are the D'ni, a mystical race with the ability to scribe books that create portals and links to the worlds described in them. Atrus then destroyed these books in order to imprison his sons in these ages for eternity. These two sons become a focal point to the story behind Myst III . A Sight For Sore Eyes Myst , and later Riven , were heralded as graphic marvels for their times. Myst III is no different.
