Myst V: End Of Ages For Mac

Developer(s) Cyan Worlds Publisher(s) Ubisoft Designer(s). Myst V: End of Ages is the fifth and final instalment in the Myst series. As in previous games in the series, End of Ages‍' gameplay consists of navigating worlds known as 'Ages' via the use of special books and items which act as portals. On each Age, the player solves puzzles and discovers story clues hidden in the Ages or written down in.

Myst V: End of Ages is, true to its name, ostensibly the final game in the Myst series. That said, the game is mostly composed of unused Uru concepts. Cyan had ended up in a bad place financially following the shutdown of Uru Live and disappointing sales of the single-player version, and so development of Myst V was rushed.

Unused Urwin

At some point in development, an urwin (a creature later appearing in Uru Live) was going to be present in Direbo. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, it was never fully implemented before the game was released.

Amongst the textures for Direbo is the urwin texture used in Negilahn in Uru Live. The dat folder also contains an urwin model (Direbo_drboUrwinShape.prp) and associated idle and walking animations (Direbo_UrwinIdle.prp and Direbo_UrwinWalk.prp). There is also unfinished code for spawning the urwin (drboUrwin.py), haphazardly copied and pasted from the code for spawning Bahros.

The textures for the pelicans contain a fair amount of unseen content.

GUI

The '>chat' icon is left over from Uru Live, and is unsurprisingly not used in Myst V.

xavatarcustomguielements_eng*860#0.hsm
Parts of the avatar customisation GUI from Uru still remain in this game, despite the fact that this game does not have avatar customisation. Additionally, an early logo for the game can be seen, from when the project's working name was Sasquatch.

The textures used for Uru‍ '​s in-game menu are still present in this game, though unused.

Unused Dialogue

glblEsher-AfterSlate_eng

A Slate has been placed, and because of that a link is created. Use it!

An unused Esher line. The 'glbl' indicates that there are multiple Ages that the sound could have played in. There is a corresponding video (right) for Esher's face while saying the line, though there is no associated animation data for Esher's model. There are also no corresponding subtitles for this line, in any language. Trivia: Cyan quoted this line on their website.

There are also corresponding French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish translations of the line (though no Italian or Polish):

Unused 25th Anniversary Icon

As with the other games that received updates for Myst‍ '​s 25th anniversary (with the exception of realMyst: Masterpiece Edition), the game's Myst 25th Anniversary Update added an unused '.ico' file in the main directory, named EndOfAges.ico. Like the unused icons in the other games, this icon file is actually just a renamed PNG file, not an ICO file. Additionally, like the Uru: Complete Chronicles icon, this image is 255x256.
