Myst III: Exile
MYST III: EXILE introduces a new villain, Saavedro, who seeks revenge when he learns that his home was destroyed by Atrus' sons. The player must follow the villain through several surrealistic Ages, solving puzzles to uncover the truth behind this new adversary. Only then can the disaster be averted to decide who was right and who was wrong. Saavedro is played by Academy Award nominee Brad Dourif (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest).
Story
Exile begins 10 years after the events in Riven, when the Stranger arrives at the home of Atrus and his wife Catherine. Atrus is a scientist and explorer who has mastered an ancient practice known as the Art: he can create connections to other worlds, known as the Ages, by writing special books. This ability is used by an ancient civilization, the D'ni, whose society is falling apart after the D'ni city is devastated by a plague. Atrus calls the stranger to his home to show him his newest age, Releeshahn, which Atrus has designed as a new home for the D'ni survivors. As Atrus prepares to leave for Releeshahn, a mysterious man appears in Atrus' study, stealing the Releeshahn book and leaving behind another. The stranger follows the thief and arrives at J'nanin, an age Atrus had written long before to teach his sons the art. Because the thief has significantly damaged the J'nanin book, Atrus cannot accompany the stranger.
