It actually is the game that gave me the biggest jump scare of any game I’ve ever played, too. Which is really really weird.

Tap for spoiler
Saavedro’s “NOOO NO NO NO NO NOOO” wails of despair are amazingly acted yet they make me crack up every time I watch them. I will never tire of watching him scream.

There’s a couple, but this one in particular:
Title
youtu.be/JSuhE1ndwjc My wife and I were playing together one night, and both of us went “HOLY SHIT!!” when we turned around and this dude straight murdered us. Tge thing is, up until that point Myst had been a totally safe place. You walked around knowing that although you might have made a mistake, it could be undone. You just needed to find the right solution. It was warm and comfortable. Even when he ran up the path, we just figured it was the next part of the plot. It was super unsettling to be MURDERED and find out you COULD actually LOSE. With the dude running straight at you like in a nightmare. It really, really doesn’t help that it is Brad Dourif murdering you.

Yeah Exile was fine except for the pixel-hunting bullshit in the forest world. Riven is still the best though.

Riven is easily the best, agreed. The forest shit was insane in Exile. The up-down elevator in the toilet world was also awful.

Yes! I loved the ending, it was so satisfying when it finally clicked how to get the good ending.
