Myst for iPhone submitted to App Store, due out any day now

April 30th, 2009

For anyone (like me) who is totally impatient for the release of Myst on the iPhone & iPod Touch, here’s an update.

The game was submitted by Cyan to the App Store back on Apr 17th, however they were later asked on Apr 26th to re-upload their App (with no explanation from Apple – perhaps the file was somehow lost or something).

Unfortunately since that was 4 days ago, it will be anywhere from a few days to a week or two before we see Myst in the App Store. The game will be priced at $5.99.

In the meantime, check out the new Myst iPhone site that Cyan launched a few weeks ago.

One of the forum posts linked above in this post mentions a full roster of credits for the iPhone/iPod Touch version of Myst (copied here verbatim, with profile links added for each person):

Programmers:
Data wranglers:
- Rich “RAWA” Watson
- Rand Miller
QA
- Lloyd “lbell” Bell
- Vicki “Tor’i” Almond
Special Beta tester:
- “Mystdee”

Actually I’m pretty glad to verify that I accurately reported a list of people working on Myst for iPhone in my previous post about the game’s impending release. In fact, the wording/syntax is so surprisingly similar, it makes me wonder if Chogon read my earlier post…
