P LAYING MYST III: EXILE
MOVING AROUND
Moving through MYST III: EXILE is remarkably easy. Simply use the mouse
or the keyboard arrow keys to position the cursor where you would like to
go, then click the mouse button or press the spacebar. Don’t forget to look
up and down instead of only left and right. Sometimes important things are
above or below you.
By default, the game is in Free Look Mode. In this mode, moving the mouse
or pressing the keyboard arrow keys will look around the world, with the
pointer in the center of your view. Right-clicking will change to Cursor
Mode. In Cursor Mode, moving the mouse or pressing the keyboard arrow
keys will move the pointer on the screen, without rotating your view. This
will allow you to access inventory items below the main view window.
ZIP MODE
MYST III: EXILE has an option called “Zip Mode” that allows you to quickly
move to places you have already explored. When Zip Mode is enabled in
the Options menu, your pointer will turn into a lightning bolt over certain
areas. Clicking the mouse will “zip” you to these areas immediately, skipping the locations in between. Remember, if you use Zip Mode too early or
without care, you may miss some important details in the areas you are
skipping.
