I was willing to ignore it in order to enjoy the puzzling – it wasn’t all that hard, ha ha – but I never accepted it as a worthy premise and always felt a little guilty for enjoying something so poorly staged. I mean Myst was fine and all, but placing the creator on the same level as his creations always felt a bit off to me, lazy narratively and ontologically dismissive, not to mention self-gratifying (yeah, we’re game designers and writing games feels a lot like creating worlds, so let’s make a game about that!), small minded and colonialistic in vision (John Walker was right to point that out) and an all around obvious metaphor.
