The basic concept of Pyst was to show what Myst Island (from the best-selling game) would look like after four million people (that game's players) had visited and "explored".
(...)
With Bergman's "seal of disapproval", the concept is that the familiar Myst locations have been vandalized by millions of virtual players who have been trapped on the island, having "giv[en] up on trying to finish the damn thing", and as a result have trashed the space, while a shady entrepreneur has built a "Dorian Grey money-making scheme".
It's a shame it sounds like it was poorly executed and didn't stick the landing on neither the humour nor the gameplay because at first glance the setup and idea sounds kinda decent.
