The first Myst titles used pre-rendered graphics, and digitally inserted footage of live actors into the backgrounds. Other characters introduced in the series include Gehn, Atrus' power-hungry father Saavedro, a traumatized victim of Atrus' sons and Esher, a member of an old civilization whose motives for helping the player are ambiguous. The inhabitants of Myst include the explorer Atrus, a writer of many linking books, and his wife Catherine and their children. While the player, referred to as a Stranger, remains faceless and unnamed, Myst and its sequels introduce a variety of non-player characters. Myst was a commercial and critical success upon release and spawned four sequels- Riven, Exile, Revelation and End of Ages- as well as several spinoffs and adaptations. The player is transported to Myst Island and must unravel the world's puzzles in order to return home. The book is no ordinary volume it is a linking book, which serves as a portal to the world it describes. The Myst series of adventure computer games deals with the events following the player's discovery of a mysterious book describing an island known as Myst. Live action footage of actors (top) was combined with prerendered backgrounds to create a finished composite (bottom) in Myst III: Exile.
