While the name Myst comes from the word "mystery," it was also inspired by The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne. Robyn Miller, one of the game's creators, was reading the book when the game was in early development. Verne's influence can be seen throughout the game, particularly inside the ship in the Stoneship age.
