"The game has taken three years to be developed. It's a great, classic adventure game. It's in fact, a family saga. So you go to fabulously beautiful worlds, solving puzzles and interfacing with people. Also the sound is quite extraordinary, so it makes for quite an immersive experience."
The sound includes music created by Peter Gabriel… (sound) Gabriel is also the voice of one of the characters in the game.

"I would say that just the same way when you go in a book store, you have all kinds of different kinds of books, the same thing with games. And one is definitely a kind of video game that calls for exploring and figuring out what has happened. It's more like a mystery novel."
Myst IV producer Genevieve Lord. The game sells for about 40 dollars and is suitable for ages 13 and up. Bloomberg Boot Camp, I'm Fred Fishkin.
