The ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'' series of VideoGames is full of dazzling scenery, and music like this.

[[folder: ''Video Game/Myst'' ]]

%%* The [[https://youtu.be/OVIBbYYzNw8 Myst theme]] sets the mood for the adventure to come.
%%How? What is that mood?
%%* The [[https://youtu.be/xkniYzS16Cc The Forechamber Theme]] was originally written to show that music would ruin the Myst experience--but showed just the opposite.
%%How?
%%* The themes for [[https://youtu.be/9T8SH16elGg Sirrus]] and [[https://youtu.be/o6NuR0t4V0w Achenar]] capture their respective personalities.
%%How? What are those personalities?
* [[https://youtu.be/Z3g91zo1tQg The Tower]]. It's perfect for Halloween.
* [[https://youtu.be/4yfPMlIF0tk Treegate]], with its intoxicating drum beat.
* The glorious and bittersweet [[https://youtu.be/NpP_NHTxM5o Finale]].

%% Links from Riven to present have been taken down because of copyright. "Enter Spire" under Myst 4 has replaced the Spire music collection and should now be working.

[[folder: ''Video Game/Riven'' ]]

* [[https://youtu.be/fcs_Ft5lHQc Link]], simply for being the sound of progress.
%%* [[https://youtu.be/rMOSTOSyNz8 Atrus' theme.]]
* [[https://youtu.be/CD3SA8Mt_WM Caves to the Temple]]. It is not in the official soundtrack sadly, but is a nice variation of [[https://youtu.be/ITObGdvx7x4 Temple]] which plays in the shrine next-door. They're nice songs in the way they convey the sense of Gehn's madness.
%%* The [[https://youtu.be/8eqetqwcWEo Moeity Theme.]]
* [[https://youtu.be/0ApiVqVNejQ The Red Cave]]. Dark and ominous, a pity it isn't longer.
* [[https://youtu.be/UwVIwTAwZ-4 Gehn's Theme]]. It's worth getting a bad ending to listen to it.
%%* [[https://youtu.be/eSnAY95yN-s Catherine's Freedom]], by far the best track in ''Riven''.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: ''Video Game/Myst III Exile'' ]]

%%* The awesome [[https://youtu.be/XFw0gbQk23M main theme]].
* [[https://youtu.be/tdFQrKtpQHs Atrus' Study]]. A relaxing, melancholy piece that acts as Sirrus' {{Leitmotif}}. Foreshadows Sirrus' role as the main villain of ''Myst IV''.
%%* [[https://youtu.be/bKBuOusKfbY The]] [[https://youtu.be/i_ZCSrZE2SM Amateria]] tracks.
%%* [[https://youtu.be/nZggieOGsgo Edanna]] music.
* Every note of "[[https://youtu.be/FoCV1AtIFBY Deadwood Ridge]]" evokes a nature hike, especially the drumstick tapping that sounds a lot like a woodpecker.
%%* The tracks for the [[https://youtu.be/vGv3ojUVS-0 confrontation]] at the end of the game.

[[folder: ''Video Game/Myst IV Revelation'' ]]

* [[https://youtu.be/WTWLUFlAQHw Enter Tomahna]] is a relaxing home-sweet-home piece.
* [[https://youtu.be/yRAKzyOW6t4 Enter Spire]] is an absolutely gorgeous adagio for strings and glass harmonica.
%%* [[https://youtu.be/ph0DX8fLFxI#t=3m57s Serenia]].
* "[[https://youtu.be/s4YcGwdHLN8 Prison Level]]" brings to mind a Middle Eastern dungeon.
* "[[https://youtu.be/JLHDdsckgWg Leaving Spire]]" captures the Stranger's obvious thoughts of "I'm on my way, Yeesha!"
* This is in sharp contrast with "[[https://youtu.be/ph0DX8fLFxI#t=7m08s The Monastery]]."
* "[[https://youtu.be/bD3vX3eXhNY Curtains]]" by Peter Gabriel is just wonderful, even if most of the lyrics are incomprehensible.
* The [[https://youtu.be/yXu6ZYy2WLg Main Theme]] could easily work as music for a castle storming sequence.
* "[[https://youtu.be/3qAYS04yWs4 Atrus Speaks]]", combining Atrus' relief that Yeesha is safe and his grief at Sirrus and Achenar's deaths.

[[folder: ''Video Game/Uru Ages Beyond Myst'' ]]

%%* [[https://youtu.be/u092jgfqC-U "Badlands".]]
* The haunting [[https://youtu.be/DlipEo6cBeY Gallery Theme]].
* Anything, ANYTHING associated with [[https://youtu.be/7yphjmzp9Ok Kadish Tolesa]], but especially the Kadish Gallery and "[[https://youtu.be/7yphjmzp9Ok#t=4m29s Alternate Vault]]" themes.
* The [[https://youtu.be/Mw6OaTE5IMc Space Ahnonay]] theme is a soothing synth piece that evokes space travel.
%%* [[https://youtu.be/FAbU0ZCn44E Er'Cana]] factory music.
* While ultimately not used, "[[https://youtu.be/4-BOPts42rk Out of the Hive]]" is a well-crafted piece evoking a jog through jungle.
* It might be more mundane, but [[https://youtu.be/tDLWttoFptM Air Stream]] (playing as you explore the area around the Cleft) is really relaxing.
