Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

These videos strive to keep the original player experience in people are no longer able to play Myst. Within this chapter you will hear the voices and see the faces of students here at CMDC. Each video has unique reactions of a student to different puzzles or sections of Myst.
Selenitic Age
Mechanical Age
Stoneship Age
Channelwood Age
"Because technology is constantly evolving, it is not uncommon for games to become inaccessible as their original intended platforms become unavailable. Due to this issue, we have done extensive research on Myst while the resources are still available to us."-Kathleen Zoller
