Standing from any point in the game, the player can look all around him, left, right, up, down, simply with a flick of the wrist. Whereas Myst and Riven was essentially a massive collection of stationary pictures, Myst III is a collection of pictures one can look at in 360 degrees of vision. Jaw-dropping for its time, and even by modern standards a beautiful experience. Instead of Atrus appearing, however, it's you, and whatever connection Saveedro had with Atrus' past is up to you to discover through the clues that he drops throughout the game.
The thief, Saveedro, has altered the world and its neighbors to provide Atrus with a lesson of his own making. The player finds himself in a teaching world Atrus had designed for his sons many years ago. The player chases after the thief just before the flames consume the book. He disappears into his own linking book, but not before setting fire to Atrus' study. (Oh, my name is Atrus and I'm trapped in another ease do the work for me?) The player is visiting the couple on their age of To'Mahna when all of a sudden a ragged figure (played by Brad Dourif) appears, and steals the special book that Atrus has been working on. Once again, the player returns help Atrus and Catherine in accomplishing some goal that they are unable to complete themselves. The game provides an intriguing storyline coupled with high quality puzzle work, and delivers tremendous satisfaction.
