Really Real Myst

Fan remake of best-selling 90’s PC adventure game.

Two possible approaches: 

1. Recreate each of the physical environments of Myst using various cheap craft supplies and found objects (popsicle sticks, paper mache, cardboard boxes, crayons, yarn, playing cards, &c.) and then rephotograph every screen from the game using those assembled sets.

2. Crowdsource the recreation of each individual screen by assigning them to random contributors, who can use whatever media or materials they want to create a geometrically faithful rendering of that screenshot.  Cf. Star Wars Uncut.

In either case, assemble resulting materials into a working reconstruction of the game logic of the original Hypercard stack.
