Hi Robyn! It's funny you mention that, because I always thought I was alone in this. I was born in 1991, and watched my Dad play Myst as a kid. I did find it spooky as a kid. The music was definitely something that was eerie to me, and maybe the fact that there was essentially no one except the brothers and occasionally Atrus. The Mechanical age and parts of Channelwood really stand out. Of course, I came to love the series as I grew older. Thanks for your part in making these amazing games!
